Void

Void · AI-Native IDEs & Editors · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Void is a privacy-focused, open-source AI code editor built as a fork of VS Code. It provides agentic coding features—such as chat, autocomplete, and multi-file editing—by connecting directly to your chosen AI model without a proprietary middleman or backend.

Recent Updates

As of June 2026, the project is officially deprecated and archived. Development has paused, and the repository no longer accepts new contributions or issues.

As of Aug 12, 2026

Key Features

Agent and Gather modes for autonomous or read-only codebase interaction
Direct provider connection with no intermediary backend
Full support for local models via Ollama and other endpoints
Checkpointing system to visualize and revert AI-generated changes
Fast Apply functionality for structured, token-efficient diffs

Who It's For

✓ Best For

Developers prioritizing data sovereignty, local-first AI workflows, or those who want to avoid subscription-based AI IDEs by using their own API keys.

✗ Not Ideal For

Teams requiring active vendor support, enterprise SLAs, or those seeking a product that receives regular feature updates and security patches.

Pricing

Free

Void itself is free and open-source (Apache 2.0). Users pay only their chosen model provider for API usage, or $0 when using local models via Ollama or similar runtimes.

Verdict

While Void was a pioneering open-source alternative to Cursor, its development is now paused. It remains a valuable reference for its architecture, but should be used with the understanding that it is an unsupported, static tool.
