A powerful code editor with AI completions that run entirely on your machine. No cloud. No subscriptions. No data collection. Just you, your code, and a local AI that actually respects your privacy.
From indie developers to privacy-conscious teams - LocalCode serves diverse needs with one core promise: your code stays yours.
Pain Point: AI coding assistants cost $10-20/month. Copilot, Cursor, and others require subscriptions and send your code to the cloud.
Solution: Get AI code completions for $0. Your code never leaves your machine. No subscription, no account, no limits.
Pain Point: Client code and proprietary algorithms cannot be sent to third-party AI services due to NDA and compliance requirements.
Solution: AI completions run 100% locally. No code leaves your device. Automatic compliance with NDAs and data protection policies.
Pain Point: Professional IDEs and AI tools are expensive. Students can't afford $10-20/month for coding assistants.
Solution: A complete IDE with AI assistance, completely free. Learn to code with intelligent suggestions without spending a dime.
Pain Point: Sensitive exploit code and vulnerability research cannot be uploaded to cloud AI services without risk of exposure.
Solution: Analyze and write security code with AI assistance that never phones home. Complete air-gap capability.
Pain Point: Cloud-based AI coding tools are useless without internet. Developers in remote areas or on flights lose AI assistance.
Solution: Full AI coding capabilities offline. Code on flights, in remote areas, or anywhere without internet. Never lose your AI assistant.
Pain Point: "Trust us" isn't good enough. AI services collect code, queries, and behavior data. You can't verify their privacy claims.
Solution: Audit every line of our code. MIT licensed, fully open source. No telemetry, no analytics, no blind trust required.
A complete development environment with AI superpowers. Built with Tauri and Monaco Editor, powered by local LLMs.
Intelligent code completions powered by local LLMs. Supports streaming, multi-line completions, and smart context with 150-line awareness. Works with any local or cloud provider.
The same editor engine that powers VS Code. Syntax highlighting for 50+ languages, IntelliSense, find & replace, minimap, and split view.
Full terminal emulator built right in. Run commands, build projects, and execute code without leaving the editor. Powered by xterm.js.
Built-in Git support with visual diff viewer, blame view, branch management, commit history, and one-click staging. No plugins needed.
Chat with AI about your code. Ask questions, get explanations, generate code snippets. Works with local models, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
Full file tree with search, new file templates for 18+ languages, image preview, markdown preview, and breadcrumb navigation.
Your IDE remembers your projects, preferences, and coding patterns. Powered by Engram — a Rust-native memory engine with HNSW vector search and BM25 hybrid retrieval.

"I switched from VS Code + Copilot to LocalCode for my freelance work. No more worrying about client code being sent to Microsoft's servers. The local AI completions are surprisingly good, and I save $120/year on Copilot subscriptions."
"As a CS student, I couldn't afford Copilot or Cursor. LocalCode gives me AI-powered coding for free. The built-in terminal and Git integration mean I don't need anything else. It's become my daily driver."
"We needed an AI coding tool that keeps proprietary code on-premise. LocalCode runs entirely offline - perfect for our defense contractor clients. The fact that it's MIT licensed and auditable was the deciding factor."
LocalCode runs entirely on your device, so we have zero cloud infrastructure costs. The AI models run locally using llama.cpp - no API fees, no server costs. We believe every developer deserves AI assistance regardless of budget. Our code is MIT licensed and open source.
LocalCode uses local LLMs (like CodeLlama, DeepSeek Coder, Qwen) that provide surprisingly good completions. While cloud models have an edge in some scenarios, local models are improving rapidly and handle most coding tasks well. Plus, you get unlimited usage with zero latency concerns.
Yes! After the initial model download, LocalCode works 100% offline. Code on airplanes, in remote areas, or anywhere without internet. You can also optionally connect to cloud AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) if you prefer.
Yes! LocalCode is MIT licensed - one of the most permissive open source licenses. Use it for personal projects, client work, commercial products, or anything else. No attribution required.
Minimum: 8GB RAM, 5GB free storage, macOS 12+ or Ubuntu 22.04+
Recommended: 16GB RAM, Apple Silicon or NVIDIA GPU for faster AI inference
Coming Soon: Windows 10+ support
Yes! LocalCode uses llama.cpp under the hood and supports any GGUF model. Load CodeLlama, DeepSeek Coder, Qwen, or any compatible model. You can also connect to OpenAI or Anthropic APIs if you prefer cloud models.
Available now for macOS and Linux. Windows coming soon.
