OpenYak

Local-first, open-source AI coding agent alternative to Claude Code and Cursor

Desktopfreeglobal

An open-source, local-first AI coding agent for desktop work, OpenYak runs without an account and sends no telemetry. It can run local models via Ollama or Rapid-MLX or connect with a user-supplied API key, and is intended for privacy-conscious developers who want to use local LLMs instead of cloud-tied agents; licensed under Apache-2.0.
