Bodega One Code
Bodega One Code is a free, local-first AI coding agent and full integrated development environment (IDE) that empowers developers to run multiple AI agents in parallel, automating coding tasks without recurring subscription fees. It prioritizes data privacy by keeping models and data on the user’s own hardware, addressing the concerns of costly and proprietary AI assistants. Key features include Fleet, which allows launching isolated agent tasks on separate git worktrees that run in the background while the developer continues coding, and Loops, which enables scheduling recurring maintenance jobs such as documentation syncs, dead-code sweeps, and dependency updates. Both produce reviewable diffs with quality scores before merging. The IDE supports Bring Your Own LLM (BYOLLM) with local models via Ollama, LM Studio, and others, as well as cloud providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Models can be switched mid-session without losing context, and an air-gap mode ensures complete offline privacy. The tool integrates chat, code editing, terminal, and file tree into a cohesive agentic loop. Bodega One Code is available as a desktop application and a CLI, making it accessible for various workflows. It positions itself as a powerful alternative to commercial AI coding companions, removing barriers like cost and data exposure while maintaining high productivity through parallel automation and flexible model choice.

- Schedule automated code maintenance tasks like dependency updates and dead-code removal.
- Use local open-source models for sensitive projects without sending code to the cloud.
- Switch between different AI models for various tasks within the same session.
- Conduct air-gapped development for maximum data security.
- Generate and review QEL-scored diffs before merging agent changes.
