Void is an open-source AI code editor forked from VS Code that connects directly from the IDE to model provider APIs, bypassing any intermediary backend. This means prompts and code are not routed through a third-party server, giving developers full data control. It supports major models including Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Llama, and Qwen. As of mid-2026, active development is paused with no new features shipping, though the last build remains functional. Key features: - Direct API connections to model providers with zero data retention by default - VS Code fork: all themes, keybindings, and extensions transfer in one click - Agent Mode, Gather Mode, and inline chat editing - Supports DeepSeek, Llama, Gemini, Claude, Qwen, and other models - Checkpoint system for LLM-driven changes with lint error detection - Fast Apply and FIM (fill-in-middle) model support for large files
Free and open-source. No paid tier.
