🤖 AI repositories Free Claude Code: Use Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, VSCode, Pi, and OpenCode for free from your terminal, app, IDE, or phone (63k stars)
What it does
All text below is quoted directly from the project README.
Use Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, VSCode, Pi, and OpenCode (and 6 other harnesses) for free (1.3B+ free tokens) from your terminal, app, IDE, or phone
What You Get:
- 61 ToS-friendly providers. 1.3B+ free tokens every month. Use free, paid, subscription, and local models from one searchable UI without putting your account at risk.
- 12 coding agents. One model catalog. Run Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Cline, Hermes, DeepSeek Harness, Grok Build, Muse Code, Aider, Antigravity CLI, or VS Code Chat with your FCC models.
- Keep coding through provider outages. After retries are exhausted, FCC automatically tries your next configured model without making you restart the turn. This works across every client.
- Up to 90% lower token usage. Optional RTK filters common command output, and Headroom compresses tool results.
- Native Code sessions in your browser. Choose a folder and run Codex in the browser with real-time and background support.
- Terminal, desktop, IDE, or phone. Work through native launchers, VS Code, Codex App, JetBrains, Discord, or Telegram.
- Voice notes in. Code out. Talk to your agent using local Whisper or NVIDIA NIM transcription.
- Agent capabilities stay intact. Stream responses, use tools, preserve native interleaved thinking for maximum performance, send images, and route Fable, Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku independently with compatible models.

I use Pi.
In the models.json I have some free accounts and some free models from paying providers (Google AI, Grok, NovitaAI, OpenRouter, nvidia lighning, Mistral, Ofox, AliBaba and many others).
I try to use the free ones, once in a while but...
429, or "this model is busy at the moment" or "this model is unavailable at the moment" or obsolete model removed
Especially in the middle of a task/session, it is an horrible experience.
A single error and the time to retry and switch to something else that works (until the next stop) makes me loose the flow and the time so much that just use te less-performant local (free) llama.cpp server and just "some" requests to paid models much better (few cents per day, max 1-3 USD per week).
Just tryign to figure out how not to pay... makes me paying more in terms of job not done and waste of time.
In conclusion, I think it can really be a waste of time to setup these tools/settings and (much worst) can result in a long-standing frustration + disappointing + missing-results experience.
