What is Void Editor?

Void is an open-source fork of VS Code that turns the familiar editor into an AI-native workspace without locking you to one provider: you can connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local models through Ollama, use agent-style editing with checkpoints you can roll back, and apply AI suggestions fast, while keeping your settings, themes, and extensions from VS Code.

Because Void is open source and your keys talk directly to model providers, there are no subscription fees to Void itself and no middleman storing your code. The trade-off is maturity: it is a younger community project than the commercial AI editors, so expect rougher edges, a smaller support ecosystem, and features that arrive more slowly.
