Code Scout – Free Local AI Coding Agent

Local AI coding agent. Zero API costs. Code stays yours

What it does

Code Scout is a free AI coding agent that runs on your machine using local models — Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp. Built for developers tired of API costs eating their productivity gains. The orchestrator + coder architecture keeps smaller models focused, so you don't need a frontier model to get real results. No subscription. No token billing. Your code never leaves your machine. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Open source coming soon.

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
