typed

A coding agent that runs on your machine, or your own key

typed is a coding agent for your terminal: tools, sessions, subagents, skills and MCP, in one CLI. It runs two ways, and both are yours.

Two ways to run

Same agent, same tools, different engine. Pick the one that fits the job - or switch between them mid-session.

typed-local

Free - runs on your hardware
  • Your own model server, your own machine
  • Private by construction - prompts never leave the box
  • No API key, no account, no bill
  • Bounded by your speed and memory (32 GB RAM, for the bundled preset)

typed-openrouter

Bring your own key - any model
  • Turns go straight to your own model account, with your key
  • Frontier quality, model of your choice
  • No typed account - set your key from the CLI
  • Optional $10/month supporter license, a thank-you not a gate
typed-openrouter details

The whole agent, either way

Neither tier is a cut-down version. Both give you the full harness - the part that makes typed a coding agent rather than a chat box.

Install

macOS / Linux / WSL
curl -fsSL https://app.typed.cloud/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://app.typed.cloud/install.ps1 | iex

Then run typed in any project. With no key on the machine it lands on the free typed-local tier; set a key and it can run typed-openrouter.

Common questions

Is typed free?

typed-local is free - you supply the compute, so there is no bill to pass on. typed-openrouter bills your own model account on your own key; the optional $10/month supporter license is a thank-you, not a gate.

What is the difference between the two?

typed-local runs a model on your own hardware: private by construction, no key, no account, bounded by your machine. typed-openrouter sends turns to a model you pick on your own API account: any model, frontier quality, but the requests leave your machine and your account is billed for them.

Do I need an account?

No. typed-local needs no account and no key. typed-openrouter needs your own model API key, which you set from the CLI. There is no typed account to create.
