Tool Icon

Cline

Free Tier, PaidDevelopment

An AI-powered coding agent that helps you write, refactor and automate code inside your IDE.

Founded by: Saoud Rizwanin 2024

You can use Cline for transforming your development workflow: it understands your codebase, helps you refactor large projects, and executes terminal commands or CI workflows. It stands out by being open-source, model-agnostic (so you can pick the LLM you want), and letting you automate tasks like file edits, debugging and multi-step workflows. Whether you’re working solo or in a team, Cline gives you a new layer of AI support directly inside editors like VS Code or JetBrains.
