Coding

Agent mode reads your code, edits files, and runs your tools. Every change lands as a diff you can review, and any turn can be rolled back.

Planning

Create and implement persisted plans that describe your project over time. Save on cost with native agentic orchestration support.

Integrated Editor

A full Monaco editor with LSP support sits next to the chat, so you can read, fix, and review without switching apps.

Terminals

Real terminals open in your project root, right beside the conversation.

Local-first by design

  • No account

    No sign-up, no analytics, no Vixl server. Keys stay in your OS keychain.

  • Any model

    Use a provider key you already have, or a local host like Ollama or LM Studio.

  • Lean context

    Progressive tool discovery loads MCP schemas and skills only when the agent asks, so prefills stay small and local models stay fast.

  • Open source

    MIT licensed and free, for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Bring your own model.
