void - discontinued open-source cursor alternative
About Void
Discontinued. The repository was archived on 2 June 2026 and the README states Void is deprecated and no longer accepting contributions. It was a VS Code fork that sent model calls straight to your own provider or a local model, and the last builds still run, but no fix or security patch is coming.

free-claude-code
MIT-licensed local Python gateway that sits in front of coding agents and routes Anthropic-format traffic to free, paid, subscription and local backends. The README claims 50 ToS-friendly providers, 1.3B+ free tokens a month and 10 coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Cline, Hermes, DeepSeek Harness, Grok Build, Muse Code, Aider) behind one searchable model catalog, with automatic fallback to the next configured model when a provider fails. It is an independent project, not affiliated with Anthropic: you keep the agent harness, not Claude's weights, and free-tier limits belong to each upstream provider and may change. A GitHub issue titled "Malicious claims about this repo" is a community dispute, not a verified finding, and no privacy or security policy page exists beyond the README.
Apache Maka
Apache-incubating agent workspace where the Desktop app, the TUI and the CLI are thin clients of one Runtime Host, and every model message, tool call, permission decision and termination is written as an append-only RuntimeEvent: the project's own line is "the log is the runtime". You bring the model (a cloud API, a local model or a compatible gateway) and sessions, settings and run records stay on your machine. Its site publishes a nine-harness Terminal-Bench 2.1 table with per-task CSVs rather than a headline claim. Read the status before installing: as of 8 September 2026 Maka has not made an Apache release, the desktop nightlies are unsigned previews not intended for production, and the CLI ships as maka-agent@next on npm (the unrelated maka package is not this project). Its SECURITY.md is unusually direct: the only enforcement boundary against an adversarial LLM is the operating system, and API keys sit in a local plaintext credential file readable only by your OS account.
Google AntiGravity
Google's agentic development platform, now split across four surfaces: the Antigravity IDE (VS Code fork), Antigravity 2.0 standalone desktop, the Go-based Antigravity CLI, and a Python SDK for custom agents.
