Cline
The open coding agent: one open source runtime for your editor, terminal and desktop, with any model.
Cline is an open source coding agent that edits files, runs commands and plans before it acts. Use it in VS Code, a terminal CLI or a desktop app, with Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models or any OpenAI-compatible API. Free, with ClinePass at $9.99/mo for bundled open weight models.
