One lead agent, specialist helpers
The lead agent handles the conversation and hands off to coding, research, and other specialists when a task fits them better.
What it does
A terminal agent, done properly.
Real tool use
Reads and edits files, runs commands, searches with glob and grep — every action goes through a permission prompt you control.
Free model, no API key
Delta Free Models ships GLM-4.7-Flash with a fair-use daily budget. Free to start, free to stay.
Sessions that remember
Every conversation is saved per project. Leave and come back — deltacode resumes exactly where you stopped.
MCP support
Plug in remote tool servers — Exa's web research is built in and needs no API key of its own.
Rendered like it matters
Live reasoning, boxed code blocks, tool results, and merged retry status — a terminal UI built like a product.
In the terminal
The agent at work.
Reasoning streams live, code renders in framed blocks, tool calls show
their results, and the free-model budget is always a /usage away.
Install
Up and coding in one line.
DeltaCode is built for macOS. Paste the command into Terminal and the installer handles the rest — no accounts, no API keys, no waiting.
macOS $ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wehnnit/DeltaCode/main/install.sh | bash
- 01
Run the command
One line in Terminal. The installer fetches Bun for you if it isn't there, then builds the binary.
- 02
Pick a provider
Delta Free Models needs no key — accept the fair-use statement and start. Or connect your own API key.
- 03
Just ask
cd into a project and type what you want. The agent explores, builds, edits, and verifies the result.
Prefer source? Clone from GitHub — or build
straight from the repo with bun run dev.
