**Vixl is a local-first, bring-your-own-key alternative to Cursor, Antigravity, and VS Code agents.** There is no Vixl account and no Vixl subscription.
Use any catalog provider or a local host. Four [chat modes](https://vixl.app/concepts/chat-modes), durable [plans](https://vixl.app/using/work-with-plans), [MCP](https://vixl.app/customize/mcp-servers), and a workbench. In a [worked example](https://vixl.app/using/best-practices), planning once and running implementation on a cheaper sub-agent costs about 70% less than one long full-price chat.
[Get started](https://vixl.app/getting-started/) or download the [latest release](https://github.com/vixl-ai/vixl/releases).
