A home for your work
CodeRook is paid for by people renting storage. Not by training on what you upload, not by selling it on, and not by deciding which tools you were allowed to use. There is no second business here that your work is the raw material for.

The promise
Every host says something like this. What matters is whether saying it costs them anything — so each promise below is followed by the reason we can afford to keep it.
Not your private projects and not your public ones. No model is built from anything stored here, by us or by anyone we hand it to.
Why we can hold that: there is no model to sell, so your files are worth nothing to us beyond the rent on the space they take up.
If CodeRook itself is ever sold, what changes hands is the service. The code people put on it stays theirs and does not transfer.
Why we can hold that: it is a term of the contract, not a policy page — a buyer inherits the promise along with the company.
No AI threshold, no review of your history. Nothing to guess at before you upload, and no policy vote that can change it later.
Why we can hold that: we charge for storage, so we have no reason to care which editor, model or keyboard produced the files.
All three are written into the terms, not just onto this page.
Why that is affordable
Storage and bandwidth cost real money, and subscriptions cover them. That is the whole model, which is why nothing here depends on your projects being useful to somebody else. A promise only holds when breaking it would not make anyone richer.
Everything is compressed and deduplicated before it lands, and anything repeated across versions is only kept once. Your allowance counts what ends up stored, not what sits on your disk.
Formats that are already compressed — video, model weights, archives — squeeze less. The bars show what actually counts against a plan.
What it costs
No per-seat pricing, no metered builds, no enterprise call. Pick an allowance, and add more later if you outgrow it.
Outgrow one and storage stacks. Any account, the free one included, can add 50 GB blocks at $4 a month each, pooled across every project and cancelled on their own. A block buys space and nothing else — every capability is on every plan already, including the free one. Invite as many people to a project as you like — collaborators are free. Payment runs through Stripe, so card details never touch a CodeRook server. Past your allowance uploads pause while downloads, browsing and deletion keep working, and nothing is ever deleted automatically.
From Git to CBX
Git solved the kernel problem in 2005. Each major system that followed repaired a new constraint while preserving what sat underneath—until CBX chose an independent repository graph in 2026.
THE DISTRIBUTED FOUNDATION
After BitKeeper withdrew free use, Git was built for speed, distribution and non-linear development at Linux-kernel scale. Its immutable blob, tree and commit graph became the foundation that later tools inherited.
HOSTING BECOMES THE PRODUCT
Discovery, access control, review and a social layer arrived around the existing repository. The hosting experience changed; the Git object graph and push transaction did not.
LARGE FILES MOVE OUTSIDE THE GRAPH
Selected binaries move to a separate object store while a small pointer remains inside Git. Existing tools keep working because the repository model underneath is preserved.
MAKING LARGE HISTORIES SURVIVABLE
Protocol v2, partial clone and sparse checkout defer objects or materialise only part of a tree. They make acquisition cheaper without replacing Git's canonical graph.
FINE-GRAINED LARGE-FILE STORAGE
Xet applies content-defined chunking to model-scale files and produced the strongest fine-grained result in the study. Git LFS still invokes it, with pointer files remaining in the Git repository.
A DIFFERENT REPOSITORY BOUNDARY
CodeRook makes immutable Versions and Track pointers canonical, with chunks and packs beneath them. There is no Git repository or centralised depot underneath—an independent model that gains a different transaction and gives up Git's mature ecosystem.
Get started
Point CodeRook at a folder and it does the rest. No Git to learn, no card to enter, and nothing you have to agree to hand over.
