Tollecode

Tollecode is a local-first AI coding assistant designed for developers who need more than just code autocomplete. It functions as a desktop application and CLI tool that allows you to delegate real engineering tasks to AI agents. The tool can read files, write code, execute shell commands, and manage sub-agents while giving you full control over what runs on your machine. It operates entirely locally, meaning your code and API calls go directly to your chosen provider without routing through external servers.

What sets Tollecode apart is its multi-provider support and dual-mode operation. You can switch between Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, or any custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint mid-session. The PLAN mode lets AI agents draft markdown plans without touching your file system, while BUILD mode unlocks full read/write and shell execution capabilities. The interface includes a multi-panel workspace with streaming tool calls, inline diffs, and a built-in terminal, all designed for practical development workflows.

This tool is ideal for developers and engineering teams who want to automate repetitive coding tasks while maintaining complete control over their environment. It works particularly well for code generation, file operations, test execution, and project scaffolding. Since it requires your own API keys and runs locally, it's suited for developers who prioritize privacy and want to avoid cloud-based AI coding solutions.
