agentty is a fast, single-file AI coding assistant that runs in your terminal. It starts instantly, works with many AI models (including local ones), and keeps your code safe by running commands in a sandbox. You can use it offline by connecting through your laptop.
agentty is a terminal-based AI pair programming tool that combines speed, flexibility, and security. It is distributed as a single static binary, eliminating the need for Node.js, Python, or any runtime dependencies, and achieves sub-millisecond startup times. The tool supports a wide range of AI providers, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, and local models via Ollama, allowing users to switch between models on the fly with a keyboard shortcut. Security is a priority: all shell commands are executed within sandboxes (bwrap on Linux, sandbox-exec on macOS), and file operations are restricted to the workspace. For privacy, agentty offers an air-gapped mode where the terminal can run on an isolated machine while a laptop relays data over SSH with TLS pinning. The tool includes a comprehensive tool suite (read, write, edit, bash, grep, glob, git, web, search, task) and a fully local RAG engine that combines BM25 and embeddings with reranking and GraphRAG to provide relevant context without dumping entire repositories into prompts. Smart Mode uses a flagship model for planning and cheaper models for execution, with a router that learns the user's codebase over time. agentty is designed for developers who want a fast, secure, and model-agnostic AI assistant in their terminal.

Sandboxing may not be foolproof; commands could still access system resources if misconfigured. API keys are stored locally; ensure your machine is secure to prevent theft.
