What it does

Opencodex brings a Codex-style agent loop to the editor you already use. Open a folder, choose a free model, and describe the outcome you want. The agent can inspect the repository, plan the work, edit files, run commands, and show every step as it happens. It supports MCP servers, skills, and subagents to make sure your experience is the same as the paid versions.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1.
