Questions.

A desktop app that gives the coding agent CLIs you already use one shared window: projects, sessions, the agent’s replies and steps, your changes and a terminal.

No. There’s no CodeInk account. Each agent keeps its own sign-in and plan, exactly as it does in the terminal.

Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode and Pi connect natively. 22 more connect through the Agent Client Protocol, and you can add any other ACP-compatible agent yourself. See Agents.

Yes. CodeInk is free and open source under GPL version 3 or later. The agents themselves may need their own plan. Source on GitHub.

CodeInk is an independent fork of OpenCode. Some upstream features, including cloud sharing and session forking, aren’t available across all agents yet.

No. Agents sign in through their own CLIs, and CodeInk doesn’t collect those credentials. Each agent controls its own connection to its model provider.

On your computer. CodeInk keeps its session data locally.

macOS downloads need an Apple Developer ID signature and notarization. If macOS reports that CodeInk is damaged, the release was not properly signed; check for a newer signed release. Windows may show a SmartScreen notice. On Linux, make the AppImage executable with chmod +x.

Every release includes SHA256SUMS.txt. Compare it with shasum -a 256 <file> on macOS or Linux, or Get-FileHash <file> in PowerShell. Only download from ErzenXz/CodeInk releases, or build from source.

Early Access has the newest changes from development. It installs as CodeInk Early Access next to the production app and keeps its own session data. Sessions don’t move between the two.

Install at least one agent with its own instructions and sign in using its CLI. CodeInk finds the command on your PATH and uses the account you already have.

Production gets stable builds from the main branch. Early Access gets the newest changes sooner, installs as a separate app and keeps its own sessions.
