A free AI coding agent for VS Code

VibeFree brings a free AI coding agent to VS Code (extension ID vibefree.vibefree-vscode), funded by short ads instead of a monthly fee. It reads, edits, and debugs code across your project, runs shell commands, and connects to any MCP server - all without a subscription to pay.

• Reads, creates, and edits files across your project, with inline diffs in the chat panel.
• Greps and globs your entire codebase to find the right code before editing.
• Runs shell commands and manages long-running background tasks.
• Connects to any MCP server and calls its tools directly.
• Keeps its own task list for multi-step work.
• Sets one-shot timers or cron jobs that ping the agent - and you - when they fire.
