Gemini CLI alternative

An open-source Gemini CLI alternative (2026)

In short: The Gemini CLI ties you to Google's models. agentty is provider-agnostic — Claude, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Cerebras, or local Ollama — from a single native binary with a sandbox by default.

Like the idea of a terminal coding agent but want provider freedom and an open-source codebase? agentty runs against many providers, not just one.

How agentty compares

  • Provider-agnostic — Claude Pro/Max, OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Cerebras, or local Ollama.
  • Single native binary — 16.7 MB, ~3 ms cold start.
  • Sandboxed by default, SSH air-gap in one command.
  • Built-in retrieval so only relevant code reaches the model.
  • Open source (MIT), MCP-capable, runs in Zed over ACP.
