Localforge – Free Local Codex AI GUI for Any LLM
Localforge is a free, open-source Codex AI and Claude-compatible desktop agent that runs entirely on your machine. Tackle huge multi-file tasks, swap between models in one click, and keep every line of code private—no browser, no vendor lock-in, forever MIT-licensed.
Why Local > Cloud
Full control, zero latency, and true ownership of your AI-assisted development environment. You and AI pair-code on your machine
Full control
Your code, secrets, and git history never leave your box—no SaaS snooping, no vendor lock‑in, no compliance headaches.
Local files
The agent edits files, runs tests, and bangs the shell at SSD speeds. Edit side by side with the agent or run multiple agents on the same codebase.
Hack-ready
MIT core, check your own security, modify your own agents, and customize for your unique development workflow.
Key Capabilities

Prompt Templates
Total prompt control: save, tweak, reuse. Shareable template marketplace coming soon.
Runs Locally
Everything happens on your machine, right inside your repo. Your code stays private while the agent grinds through tasks.
Bring Your Own Keys
Free and open-source. Just drop in your API keys and pay only your chosen model provider—nothing else.
Modern GUI
Sleek Electron workspace with tabs, multi-project support, and visual diffs. Spend time prompting, not wrestling with terminals.
