A local-first AI coding tool

Loopy is a local-first coding tool: the server, dashboard, and entire work graph run on your machine with your own keys. It's an agentic coding tool that pushes code only to the repositories you connect — nothing is uploaded to a hosted Loopy service.

What "local-first" means

Most AI coding tools route your prompts, code, and context through a vendor's cloud. Local-first inverts that: the application runs on your hardware and your data stays local by default. With Loopy, you install and run it yourself, and it drives coding-agent CLIs already on your machine.

Where your data lives

  • Secrets — stored in ~/.loopy/config.json, never uploaded anywhere.
  • Work graph — tickets, agents, runs, and evidence live in a local SQLite database.
  • Code — builds happen in a local working directory; commits go only to the repo you connect.
  • Third-party calls — go straight from your machine to the providers you choose, not through Loopy.

Runs offline, on your terms

The Loopy server, dashboard, and workflow work without a connection. You only reach the network for the external services you opt into — your coding agent, model provider, or research APIs. That makes it a strong fit for private codebases and regulated environments.

Bottom line: Loopy gives you an agentic coding workflow without handing your code to someone else's cloud. It's local-first, free and open-source, and runs on your keys.
