Everything you edit with, nothing you don't
PiCode keeps the editor you know and adds the agent you always wanted.
Familiar VS Code foundation
A VS Code fork, so your keybindings, extensions, and muscle memory carry over from day one.
Built-in agentic chat
An AI chat that lives in your editor and can read your workspace, propose edits, and run across files.
Bring your own models
Point the agent at any provider you like — local or hosted. You choose the models; you keep the keys.
Local-first & private
Your conversations and context stay on your machine by default. No accounts, no telemetry walls.
Fast & lightweight
A lean build without the bloat: quick startup, low memory, and snappy editing even on modest hardware.
Open source
MIT-licensed and developed in the open. Read the code, file issues, and ship the features you need.
