Zone
Self-hosted, BYOK AI coding agent — cents per run, no caps
Zone is an open-source AI coding agent for your terminal. Self-hosted and BYOK: bring your own Anthropic/OpenAI key and pay the provider directly. Run real coding work for cents — no subscription, no caps — and see the exact cost of every run.
Hi everyone — I'm the maker. I built Zone solo over the past ~4 months.
It's an AI coding agent that runs in your terminal — multi-file edits, runs commands, plan mode where you review and steer before anything executes. Two things mattered most to me: it's self-hosted (runs entirely on your machine) and BYOK — you bring your own Anthropic/OpenAI key and pay the provider directly. The reason I built it: you should be able to run real coding work for cents, with no subscription and no usage caps gating how much you build.
Cost is the main lens — a /metrics command shows the exact cost, tokens, and model for every run, and a lot of the internals exist to keep that number down (tier-aware model routing, cache-aware prompting, output reduction). I've been dogfooding it hard — I even used Zone to build Zone's own features.
It's open source (~50K lines of TypeScript, AGPL-3.0) and early — v0.0.x, solo, rough edges — so I'd love your feedback, especially on the cost model and the workflow.

Happy to answer anything here!
The focused approach is what caught me here. It does one job clearly without burying everything under a pile of settings.
