A user asks the Harness to fix a failing test. It reads the test, searches the code, asks before editing a file, runs the tests, and reports that all 24 pass.

From sign-up to your first fix in three steps

No setup beyond an install. The Harness handles models, keys and credit.

  1. Create a free account

    An email and a password. No card, no trial clock. You get your first $50 straight away.

  2. Install the Harness

    Download it for Windows, macOS or Linux, paste the API key from your dashboard, and open a project folder.

  3. Ask for a change

    Describe what you want. The agent reads your code, proposes edits and runs your tests, asking before anything changes.

A coding agent that asks before it acts

The Harness works in the project folder you open. It reads and searches on its own, and stops to show you every edit and command before it happens.

  • Sees the whole project. Lists, reads and searches files to understand your code before changing it.
  • Edits with a diff. Every change shows what's added and removed. Allow it, deny it, or allow the rest of the task.
  • Runs your tools. Tests, builds and linters run in your folder, with the output right in the chat.

Everything you expect from a coding agent

The tools the paid agents have, without the subscription.

13 models, one picker

Opus 5.5, GPT 6.1 Sol, Kimi K3, DeepSeek, Qwen and more. Switch mid-task when a job needs more muscle.

Asks before it acts

Every edit shows a diff and every command waits for your OK. Or let it run on its own in Full auto.

Undo a whole task

Checkpoints save your files before the agent touches them. One click puts everything back.

Knows your project rules

Reads AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) from your project, so it follows your conventions from the first message.

@-mention files

Type @ to hand the agent exactly the files that matter, instead of hoping it finds them.

Plan mode

Have it read the code and propose a plan without changing a thing. Approve, then let it build.

See what every task costs

A live token and credit meter on each task, and a full usage history in your dashboard.

Runs your tools

Tests, builds and linters run in your project folder, with output streamed into the chat.

Any editor, any language

The Harness works on your project folder, next to VS Code, JetBrains, Vim or whatever you use.

The same frontier models, without the monthly bill

How is it free?

The Harness shows a small sponsor card. Sponsors pay for the tokens, so you don't. That's also why model requests run in the Harness instead of a bare API: the ads are what keep every model free.

Ads are chosen without your personal data, and they never appear inside your code or answers.

Questions

What happens when my $50 runs out?

The weekly-credit models pause until Monday at 00:00 UTC. Ling 3.1 Flash, Muse Spark 1.3 and GLM 5.3 Flash keep working the whole time.

Does unused credit carry over?

No. Every Monday your credit goes back to $50, whether you used $2 or all of it.

How much does a request cost?

Each request costs its tokens at the rates on the models page. A short task on Opus 5.5 costs a few cents; reading a large codebase costs more. Your dashboard shows every request.

Is my code stored?

FreeFlow doesn't keep your prompts or code. They pass through to the model you chose and back. We record token counts so we can track your credit.

Can I call the API from my own code?

Your key can list models and check your balance from anywhere. Model requests run only in the Harness, because the ads there pay for them.

Which systems does the Harness run on?

Windows, macOS and Linux. It works on any project folder you open, in any language.

Is FreeFlow a free alternative to Cursor or Claude Code?

For agent work, yes. FreeFlow reads your project, edits files and runs commands like those tools do, and it's free: three unlimited models plus $50 of frontier-model credit every week. It runs as its own app next to your editor rather than replacing it.

Why are there ads?

A small sponsor card in the Harness sidebar pays for everyone's tokens. That's the whole business model: no subscriptions, no selling your data, and no ads inside your code or answers.

Your first $50 is waiting.

Free account, no card. Takes under a minute.
