Aide

Free open-source AI code editor — the Cursor alternative for hackers.
Aide is a free, open-source AI-native code editor built as an open alternative to Cursor and Windsurf. Fork of VS Code with deep AI baked into every keystroke — autonomous agents, whole-repo edits, multi-file refactors, floating chat, and BYO-model support for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, or local Ollama. 100% free, MIT-licensed, cross-platform, and built by ex-Meta engineers who wanted AI-first coding without the subscription.
