Kit

A faster, cheaper coding agent runtime, positioned as an alternative to Claude Code

Desktopfreeglobal

Kit is an open-source coding agent runtime built to be faster and cheaper than alternatives like Claude Code. It ships as a single static binary that provides a terminal client, an Agent Client Protocol server, and a subagent orchestrator, so it can plug into compatible editors without custom integration work. It is aimed at developers choosing which coding-agent runtime to run.
