coding agent.
Any model.
Zero leash.

The open source coding agent with personality.

Klenny Code is a free, open-source AI coding agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Bring your own OpenRouter key and unleash hundreds of frontier models — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more — on your real codebase, with memory, cross-project lookup, and a scheduler that works even while you're away. It comes with a playful corgi personality by default, fully yours to rewrite, dial down, or switch off in a plain-text file. No subscriptions. No lock-in. Just a very good boy with a very big toolbox.

Bring your own key, use any model

Connect your own OpenRouter API key and pick from hundreds of models — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more.

Memory that actually sticks

Projects and global memory files plus auto-generated notes ensure Klenny remembers your conventions, decisions, and quirks across sessions.

Personality, tuned by you

Klenny ships with a playful corgi personality out of the box — lovable, loyal, and a little sassy. Edit the SOUL.md file to make it uniquely yours.

Cross-project lookup

Ask Klenny to reference, search, or port a feature from one of your other projects without ever leaving your current window.

Scheduling & personal assistant

Set up recurring background tasks, connect Gmail and Discord, and let Klenny handle chores unattended — even when the app is minimized.

Real terminal, real cost control

A genuine interactive shell lives right in the app, alongside a spending cap and cost reports so you always know exactly what you're spending, on what.

Everything a coding agent should be. And then some.

Klenny fetches, refactors, remembers, and even runs errands for you — all from one free, open-source app.

Plan mode & approvals

Ask Klenny to plan first. Review every proposed change as a diff before it touches a single file — full control, zero surprises.

Skills & subagents

Reusable, Corgi-style skills and parallel subagents tackle research and multi-step work in the background, so the main thread stays fast.

Semantic codebase search

An optional vector index finds code by what it means, not just what it says — perfect for sprawling codebases where grep alone won't cut it.

Browser automation built in

A real local browser Klenny can drive itself — click, type, fill forms, and navigate like you do via snapshots, with mutating actions gated behind your approval settings.

Free & open source, always

MIT licensed, fully open on GitHub, no subscriptions or hidden fees. You only ever pay OpenRouter directly for model usage — at whatever rate you choose.

Self-updating

One click updates the app itself, so you're always on the latest and greatest.

No .gitignore gymnastics

Plans, auto-memory notes, and the codebase index live in Klenny's own app data directory, not scattered inside your project — nothing to add to .gitignore.

Plain-text, portable, hackable

Your data lives in plain text. Back it up, version it, or tweak it by hand. Total transparency.

Vision, built in

Attach or paste images right in chat and let multimodal models reason about screenshots, mockups, and diagrams alongside your code.
