The AI-powered code editor that helps you write, review, and ship code faster — with any model you choose.
A VS Code fork built from the ground up for AI-assisted development. No bloat, no lock-in.
Switch between OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or local models with a single shortcut. Use the right model for each task.
All your extensions, keybindings, and themes work out of the box. Zero config needed to switch.
Use your existing API subscriptions. No middleman pricing, no hidden costs. You control your spend.
Context-aware code suggestions that understand your entire codebase. Fast, accurate, multi-line.
Ask questions, debug errors, or generate code — right in your editor. Context-aware and instant.
Run Ollama, LM Studio, or any local model completely offline. Your code never leaves your machine.
Free download for macOS and Windows. Your VS Code settings sync automatically.
Paste your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local model endpoint. Takes 30 seconds.
Inline completions, chat, and agent mode — all powered by the models you choose.
Use GPT-4o for quick completions. Switch to Claude for complex refactors. Run Llama locally for privacy. One editor, every model.
Anthropic · Best for complex reasoning
OpenAI · Fast completions
Google · Long context analysis
Meta · Fully offline, private
OpenAI · Agentic coding tasks
Yes, 100% free — no trials, no premium tiers, no hidden fees. Every feature is available to every user, forever. You only pay for the AI API keys you choose to use.
We support OpenAI (GPT-4o, Codex), Anthropic (Claude Opus, Sonnet), Google (Gemini 2.5 Pro), Meta (Llama 3.3), and any OpenAI-compatible local model via Ollama or LM Studio.
Absolutely. Betterc0de is built on the VS Code core, so all your extensions, keybindings, themes, and settings work out of the box with zero configuration.
Your code is yours. We never store, log, or train on your code. When using local models like Llama via Ollama, your code never even leaves your machine.
Unlike Cursor or Copilot, Betterc0de lets you bring your own API keys — no middleman pricing. You can switch between any model instantly and even run fully offline with local models.
We built Betterc0de because we wanted a better tool for ourselves. No VC funding, no growth targets, no pressure to monetize. We believe great developer tools should be free and accessible to everyone.
We didn't build Betterc0de to make money. No premium tiers, no telemetry upsells, no "pro" features behind a paywall. Every feature ships to everyone, forever.
Open sourcing invites forks that fragment the experience, dilute the vision, and ultimately create competitors that do monetize. We'd rather keep one great product free than spawn ten mediocre paid ones.
No VC funding, no growth targets, no pressure to squeeze revenue from users. We build what developers need, not what a business model demands.
Join the waitlist. Be the first to try Betterc0de when we launch for Windows and macOS.
