Free local-first AI coding agent and full IDE that runs parallel background agents on your machine with any local or cloud model you bring.
Proliferate
Open-source, self-hostable workspace for running coding agents locally or in the cloud and turning repeat engineering work into reviewable workflows.
What is Proliferate?
Proliferate is an open-source workspace for running coding agents and building reviewable workflows. You choose an agent for the task, give it a repository, branch and tools, run it on your machine, in the cloud or on infrastructure you control, then inspect each session and diff before anything ships. It works with agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode, and connects to tools like Linear, Notion, Slack and Sentry. Workflows can run on demand, on a schedule or from a feed. Enterprise teams can run sandboxes inside their own VPC, route model calls through an internal gateway, and use SSO, SCIM, org-wide secrets and audit trails. Running Proliferate locally is free. Billing applies to model usage through Proliferate's managed gateway and to organization seats, and the docs list Free, Core and Enterprise plans without publishing prices there.
Use cases
- Run coding agents on a repository
- Review agent sessions and diffs before shipping
- Schedule repeatable engineering workflows
- Run agent sandboxes inside your own VPC
- Route model calls through an internal gateway
- Switch between agents for different tasks
- Connect agents to issue and error tracking
