Why FreeCoder

A real coding agent. Actually free.

Two things in one — a free, unlimited built-in model and a powerful autonomous agent that reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and ships.

Free & unlimited AI

The whole reason FreeCoder exists: a built-in model that's free and has no token caps. A small, unobtrusive ad keeps it free for everyone.

No subscription, no usage limits, no credit card
Prefer your own? Bring any provider key instead

Plan mode & subagents

Architect complex work before a line changes — approve, comment on, or rewrite the plan. Then fan it out to subagents that run in parallel, each in its own isolated worktree.

Plan mode blocks every edit until you approve
Subagents explore, build & review at once

plan

PLAN — refactor auth
1. extract token logic → lib/auth
2. spawn 2 subagents (api · tests)
↳ approve · comment · rewrite

Skills, plugins & MCP

FreeCoder bends to your workflow. Reusable skills auto-load from your SKILL.md files, plugins & hooks run scripts on edits and tool calls, and MCP servers connect the tools you already use.

Skills auto-invoked when a task matches, or by name
Linear, Sentry, Postgres, browsers — anything with MCP

✓ pdf.SKILL.md auto-loaded
✓ mcp: linear, postgres

Everything you need

One agent for the whole workflow

Plan, build, test, and ship — every feature you'd expect from a top-tier paid agent, free.

Get started

Up and running in one command

Windows only for now. Paste it in PowerShell — it installs, adds itself to PATH, and auto-updates from then on.
