Overview

An open-source workspace for working with coding agents.** Chats, code, Git, a browser and a terminal in one window, on top of the real VS Code core. ![Download](https://github.com/LeulAria/volt/releases/latest) ![License: MIT](LICENSE.txt) ![macOS, Windows, Linux](docs/install/README.md) ![Built on VS Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) ![PRs welcome](CONTRIBUTING.md) **Download** · Website · Docs · Changelog · Contributing · Security Agents do the typing. You keep the judgment. Volt is a workspace for working *with* coding agents instead of next to them: the chat, the code, Git, a browser and a terminal share one window, so nothing you need is a tab away. It is built on the real VS Code core, not a lookalike, so your extensions, themes, keybindings, language servers and debuggers come along. What Volt adds is the layer that makes agents a first-class part of the editor: a runtime that talks to any model or agent CLI, a permission system you control, and review tools that let you keep or undo exactly what an agent changed. > Public beta. Volt is below 1.0 and moves fast, so expect rough edges and changes between releases. The changelog lists what changed in each one.

Volt is built on open-source principles to guarantee security, privacy, and full reproducibility. All sensitive data transformations run locally on your hardware with zero telemetry or unexpected cloud dependencies.
