A coding agent for editors, the terminal and desktop that can modify files, run commands and use tools through configurable approval controls.
Start with an idea
Build and iterate on a small web feature while reviewing proposed file changes.
Investigate a failing project, make a focused fix and run its test commands.
Step-by-step IDE exercise covers a single-file app, Plan/Act modes and approval prompts; not our tested app.

The real tradeoffs
Open-source agent code; use provider-billed API access, Cline usage credits, a ClinePass subscription or local inference.
Model access is not automatically free. Promotions and quotas change; local models require suitable hardware. No exact plan price is asserted here.
Apache-2.0
Read the code licenseThe agent's code license does not cover chosen model weights or provider access.
Commercial model access and enterprise services are separate from the repository's Apache-2.0 license.
