Aider sparks hunt for local-only harnesses

LocalLLaMA users want a terminal coding harness that reads and edits repos without any cloud dependency. The thread lands on a familiar split: Aider and OpenCode can be pushed toward local use, but commenters want a tool that defaults to air-gapped behavior instead of asking them to harden it.

// ANALYSIS

This is a privacy-first feature request disguised as a tool comparison. For this audience, "local-first" means no hidden network paths, no provider auto-discovery, and no trust in undocumented defaults.

  • Aider fits the terminal-local workflow well and supports local models, so it matches the ergonomics of the ask.
  • OpenCode shows how these tools drift toward integrations: multi-provider support, sharing, updates, telemetry, and MCP make them powerful but harder to trust.
  • The real requirement is a hard offline boundary, which means egress blocking, containerization, and local-only model routing, not just config flags.
  • OpenJet's mention suggests demand for a niche but real category: an explicitly air-gapped coding harness, not a cloud-first agent with a local mode.
