Nanocoder is an open-source, terminal-based AI coding agent built by a community collective. It runs agentic coding workflows against any model you choose—local models via Ollama or OpenAI-compatible APIs like OpenRouter, Anthropic, and Google—while keeping your code and data on your own machine.
Use cases
- run an AI coding agent in my terminal with local models
- use Claude Code-like agentic coding with my own Ollama models
- refactor code with an LLM without sending my code to a third party
- bring my own model provider to an AI coding assistant
- audit or analyze a codebase with an open-source coding agent
When to choose
- you want a privacy-respecting, local-first coding agent with no paid tiers
- you prefer local models via Ollama or flexible OpenAI-compatible providers
- you want a community-built, open alternative to Claude Code or Codex
When to avoid
- you need a polished, vendor-supported commercial coding assistant
- you want cloud-managed agent features with built-in model hosting
- you need IDE-integrated AI assistance rather than a terminal workflow
