Void

What is Void?

Void is an open source AI code editor built as a fork of VS Code, so you can import your themes, keybinds and settings in one click. It offers inline Quick Edit on a selection, autocomplete, and a chat panel with normal chat, Gather mode and Agent mode, where the agent can read and write files, search the codebase and run terminal commands. Instead of routing messages through a private backend, Void connects straight to the model provider you choose, including hosted models and locally run open source models through tools such as Ollama. Other capabilities include checkpoints that let you jump between LLM edits, MCP support, AI commit message generation and SSH and WSL support. The code is released under the Apache 2.0 License. The site presents Void as free to download, and you pay your model provider for any API usage. Release notes label it a beta, so expect changes.

Use cases

• Edit selected code inline with an LLM
• Chat about a codebase
• Run an AI agent on files and terminal
• Autocomplete code with a local model
