Open-source AI coding assistant

Your code.
Your model.
Your machine.

Openkody is an open-source AI coding assistant. CLI-first, editor-native, and 100% local. Plug in any model you want — Anthropic, OpenAI, or your own self-hosted Llama. We never see your code.

Three principles

Built for developers who keep their context close.

Local-first

Your codebase never leaves your machine. The model API call is the only outbound network hop, and you control which endpoint.

Model-agnostic

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Self-host Llama or Qwen via Ollama / vLLM and Openkody just works.

Terminal-native

openkody ask, openkody fix, openkody review. The CLI is the source of truth. Editor extensions wrap the same engine.

How it works

Three steps from clone to first patch.

Index your repo locally

Run openkody init — embeddings are stored in .openkody/, never uploaded.

Ask in natural language

openkody ask "where is the auth middleware?"

Apply patches with diff preview

openkody fix --interactive shows every change before it touches a file.

Supported models

Bring your own model. We hold none of the keys.
