Modus

Local-first, open-source desktop workspace for running AI coding agents.

Desktopfreeglobal

Modus is a free, open-source, local-first desktop workspace for running AI coding agents inside real local projects, positioned as an alternative to Cursor and Codex. Users open a workspace, connect their own model provider, plan or build with an agent, and inspect and approve changes before they're applied. It's aimed at developers who want an open, local-first coding-agent workspace instead of a closed, hosted tool.
