Open Source
MIT-licensed and free while in public beta; Volt does not sell tokens—users bring their own subscriptions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) or connect local models like Ollama.
Best for
Developers who want a Cursor-style agentic IDE that is open-source, VS Code-compatible, and lets them bring their own model subscriptions or local models.
Not ideal for
Users needing a stable, code-signed production release or those who want a vendor-managed token plan rather than bringing their own subscriptions.
Volt offers a compelling open-source, VS Code-based agentic workspace with strong multi-agent orchestration, review tooling, and bring-your-own-model flexibility. It is still early-stage (public beta, unsigned builds, small GitHub community), so expect rough edges and rapid changes.
Public beta v0.0.1 currently available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with Stable, Beta, and Nightly channels installing side by side; builds are not yet code-signed.
