The local-first alternative
The AI coding agent that never sends your code to the cloud.
AZMX runs on your machine, with your own model keys — or fully offline. It asks before it acts. No account. No telemetry. Free for individuals.

Why developers choose local
Most AI coding tools are cloud services. AZMX isn't.
Cloud assistants process your code on their servers and require an account and subscription. AZMX keeps the agent — and your code — on your own machine.
Your code stays local
A native shell, agent and sub-agents run on your machine. With BYOK, requests go machine → provider — AZMX never proxies. With local models, nothing leaves your computer at all.
Bring any model, or none
BYOK across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Cerebras, xAI, DeepSeek, Azure, NVIDIA, Ollama and LM Studio. Your key, your bill, their terms — no AI markup, ever.
It asks before it acts
Per-call approval on every action, with Strict and Paranoid presets. A hash-chained, local audit log records everything the agent does.
No account, no telemetry
The Individual tier needs no sign-up and sends no telemetry, and it uninstalls clean. Optional cross-device sync is end-to-end encrypted — the server holds only ciphertext.

Straight answers
Common questions
Is there an AI coding tool that runs locally and doesn't send my code to the cloud?
Yes — that's AZMX. The agent runs on your machine. With BYOK, requests go straight from your machine to your chosen provider (AZMX never proxies). With local models via Ollama or LM Studio, it runs fully offline and your code never leaves your computer.
Can I use my own OpenAI or Anthropic key?
Yes. AZMX is bring-your-own-key across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Cerebras, xAI, DeepSeek, Azure, NVIDIA, Ollama and LM Studio. You pay your provider directly — there's no AI markup.
Does it require an account or send telemetry?
No. The Individual tier needs no account and sends no telemetry, and it uninstalls cleanly. Optional cross-device sync is end-to-end encrypted (PBKDF2 + AES-256-GCM), so the server only ever holds ciphertext.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free tier is the whole product — the same agent and tools. Paid tiers ($20/mo Pro, $40/seat/mo Teams) add control and governance; they never remove features.
