v1.3.0
Code editor.
Not a browser.
~20MB native binary with AI built in. Monaco editing, real terminal, git integration. No Electron. No telemetry. No subscription.
~20MB native binary with AI built in. Monaco editing, real terminal, git integration. No Electron. No telemetry. No subscription.
Smaller binary. Smaller runtime. Smaller footprint. Faster everything.
70+ languages, IntelliSense, multi-cursor, minimap, bracket matching, code folding. Same engine, fraction of the size.
Native PTY sessions via Rust. Your actual shell with 256-color, resize, 10K scrollback. Not a web simulation.
Branch, stage, commit, per-file diff stats, visual commit graph. Powered by Rust, not shell commands from the frontend.
One-click dev server, auto-detects localhost URLs, live browser preview. Run and see your app without leaving the editor.
OpenRouter for 100+ cloud models, Ollama for fully local inference, Claude Code CLI. All optional. Works offline.
No telemetry. No cloud sync. No account. No subscription. Your code stays on your machine. Period.
Clif is open source but not yet notarized with Apple. macOS blocks unsigned apps by default.
This is normal for open source software. One command fixes it:
This removes the quarantine flag macOS sets on downloads. Then open Clif normally.
100% open source. Read every line on GitHub. No telemetry, no network calls unless you enable AI. The xattr command just removes Apple's download flag — it doesn't disable any security.
Apple charges $99/year for a Developer certificate. Clif is free and open source — proper code signing + notarization is on the roadmap.
Yes. AI features are opt-in. Without API keys, Clif is a fully offline editor with terminal and git. Zero network calls.
Three commands. Under a minute.
