Version control that lives where the work happens.

Boltzmann puts version control and ticketing inside the godspeed engine: depots for your projects, streams of work, tickets beside the assets they describe, and live two-editor collaboration with real diffs. Prefer your existing repos? Boltzmann runs tasks-only on plain git, depot-only, or fused.

+$10/month on the godspeed base — $20/month total, founders price, doubles at 1.0.

What it does

One datastore, not two products

Tickets, changes, locks and test results are records in the same history — not a tracker bolted to a repo by a webhook. Nothing has to be kept in sync because there is only one thing. Ask why a line exists and you query it, instead of excavating a commit message for a link that may not resolve.

Built for the files git handles worst

Depots and streams for large binary assets, with exclusive locks so two people never edit the same texture and discover it at merge time. Opening a branch copies nothing — it costs the same on a huge project as an empty one.

In-engine and standalone

Use the panel inside godspeed, or run it standalone beside whatever you build with today.

Plays with git

Tasks-only on a plain git repo is a supported mode — adopt boltzmann one piece at a time, no migration cliff.

Pairs with ash

With ash on the same subscription, model development gets versioned automatically: experiments, model versions, tickets — one flow.

Available now — honestly labeled. Boltzmann ships inside the godspeed editor: download godspeed from your account, then paste your BZ- key into the activation panel and the Version Control panel unlocks in the session you already have open. There is no separate install. The standalone explorer follows. One caveat worth stating plainly: the link between peers is not encrypted yet, so collaboration is for a trusted local network, not the open internet. Subscribing today locks the founders price forever; cancel or refund freely within the 14-day window.
