Cincha.dev is for builders.
A Cincha app is a virtual environment running a harness ( Pi ) and scaffolding ( the cinch for your harness ) written in Python.
Scaffolding gives agents native Python tools to connect to services and complete tasks. Models are extremely powerful in these types of harnesses but sharing them especially with non-technical people is difficult.
Data is messy
def get_senate_votes(congress: int = 119, session: int = 1) -> str:
"""Return the Senate roll call vote index as XML."""
from senate_impl import fetch_vote_menu
return fetch_vote_menu(congress, session)python -c "from senate import get_senate_votes; print(get_senate_votes()[:160])"
Data is messy, build the helpers that streamline any task, save on tokens and decrease latency.
Cincha.dev solves this problem by letting you ship a harness to a coworker, friend or fellow builder on the web in a form they can extend. You can ship a harness with data connectors set up and ready to go or let users connect their own data. If you prefer, you can download the whole thing as a ZIP file and run on it locally with pi.
You can create a Cincha app with the app builder, a Cincha designed to produce Cinchas. Simply define what you are building: the right Python packages, data connectors and a default model. Then grab the zip and upload to create a new Cincha app.
Cincha uses OpenRouter as its LLM provider, allowing you to choose any model you want. Usage is billed at OpenRouter cost; we add a 10% fee when you buy credits, and support profit sharing with builders.
We are committed to making Cincha.dev a company that gives value back to our users and to the builders who make it possible.
