Editor & IDE

Void

An open-source, privacy-focused AI code editor forked from VS Code that lets you plug in any model — cloud or local — instead of a locked-in provider.

Pricing

Free and open source (MIT); you pay only for the LLM API or local model you connect

Void is an open-source fork of VS Code built as a transparent alternative to Cursor and Copilot: every AI request is visible and configurable, and nothing routes through a proprietary backend unless you choose to.

Why it stands out

Bring your own model. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or a fully local model through Ollama — Void doesn’t lock you into one provider.
No data middleman, since requests go straight from your machine to the model provider you configure, with nothing logged by Void itself.
Familiar VS Code shell with tab-triggered autocomplete, inline quick edit, and an agent mode that can operate across files, terminal, and MCP tools.

Good for

Developers who want Cursor-style AI editing without giving up control over which model runs their prompts or where their code goes.
