Built for flow state
A full VS Code-class editor with AI wired into every surface — and a local-first architecture that keeps your code on your machine.
Six modes, one panel — from questions to autonomy
Switch between Ask, Plan, Debug, Agent, Design, and Multitask — from read-only Q&A to parallel autonomous workers. Ask and Plan never touch your files until you approve.
- @-mention context: files, folders, symbols, problems, git changes, terminals, docs, and URLs
- Attach images — vision works across all providers
- Debug mode gathers evidence before it acts
- Design mode drives a live in-editor browser it can see
- Multitask runs several workers in parallel
Completions that work at 30,000 feet — literally
Inline completions run on a bundled local engine — no cloud round-trip, no API key, works fully offline. Cloud completions are available as an explicit opt-in.
- Streaming multi-line suggestions as you type
- Tab-to-jump: predicts your next edit and takes you there
- Change propagation across related edits
- Context from nearby code and recent edits
Autonomy with a paper trail
The agent reads, edits, and runs commands with a full tool surface — but every edit is staged as a diff for your approval, never auto-applied. Checkpoints let you roll the workspace back to any point in the conversation.
- "Review My Changes" unified multi-file diff
- Command consent levels: auto-review, allowlist, or run-everything
- File-deletion protection on by default
- No separate agents window — with no folder open, the agent's first edit scaffolds a managed project in place
Your repo, semantically searchable — on your machine
EditVolt builds a vector index of your codebase using on-device embeddings — the embedding model ships with the app and never touches the network. Semantic search powers @Workspace answers and the agent's code discovery.
- On-disk vector database, per workspace
- Bundled embedding model — indexing works offline
- Hybrid retrieval: semantic + fast text search
- Optional local memory that learns your project (off by default)
✓ 1,284 files indexed · local embeddings
✓ 0 bytes sent to the network
✓ 14 paths excluded by ignore file

Direct to the provider — no middleman, no markup
Connect the models you already pay for. Requests go straight from your machine to the provider — EditVolt has no proxy in between, and model lists update live from each provider.
- Anthropic Claude — API key, or bridge your existing Claude Code CLI sign-in
- Google Gemini with your AI Studio key
- Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: OpenAI, OpenRouter, Azure, vLLM, LM Studio
- Hugging Face — remote or local
- Ollama for 100% local, key-free inference
● Claude — connected (your key)
● Gemini — connected (your key)
● Ollama — local · 3 models
○ OpenAI-compatible — add endpoint…
Routing: fast lane → local · heavy → Claude
Rules, skills, subagents, hooks — a real customization substrate
Shape how the AI works in your repo with plain files in the project config folder — versionable, reviewable, shareable with your team.
- Rules packs injected into every conversation
- Skills and subagents for repeatable workflows (security review, docs editing…)
- Slash commands: /explain, /fix, /test, /review, /architect, /why, /debug, /delegate
- Pre/post tool-use hooks in
hooks.json, plus scheduled automations - MCP servers with per-tool consent and allowlists
- Picks up instruction files you already have — AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, and copilot-instructions.md
├─ rules/ no-hardcoded-secrets.md
├─ skills/ split-to-prs.md
├─ subagents/ security-reviewer.md
├─ hooks.json pre/post tool-use

└─ permissions.json
Also in the box
Terminal ⌘K
Describe what you want in the terminal and get the command — plus inline refine (⌘I) anywhere in the editor.
AI commit messages
One click in the source-control panel writes a commit message from your staged diff.
Project scaffolding
Start from an empty window — the agent scaffolds static sites and Next.js apps deterministically.
In-editor browser
An opt-in browser surface so agents can see what they build — off by default.
Vision everywhere
Paste screenshots or attach images in chat — supported across every connected provider.
VS Code under the hood
Built on Code-OSS: your keybindings, themes, and Open VSX extensions all work day one.
Optional sign-in
Sign in from your browser with GitHub or Google if you want to — it only ever tells us your email and basic profile, and every AI feature works signed out.

Every feature, free forever — no credit card, no account required.
