Code Scout – Free Local AI Coding Agent
Local AI coding agent. Zero API costs. Code stays yours
Code Scout is a free AI coding agent that runs on your machine using local models — Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp. Built for developers tired of API costs eating their productivity gains. The orchestrator + coder architecture keeps smaller models focused, so you don't need a frontier model to get real results. No subscription. No token billing. Your code never leaves your machine. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Open source coming soon.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Frank — I built Code Scout after watching my API bills quietly cancel out every productivity gain AI was giving me.
The problem isn't AI. It's that most developers default to frontier models for everything, even when a local model does the job fine for free.
Code Scout runs Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp through an orchestrator + coder architecture that keeps smaller models focused and effective. Your code never leaves your machine. No subscription, no token counting, no sending your work to a third party server.
Free now. Open source coming soon.
Would love feedback from anyone who's hit the same API cost wall — drop a comment, genuinely curious what workflows you're running.
