free-claude-code, an independent open-source project (55.1k GitHub stars), lets you run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline and 6 other coding agents without an Anthropic subscription:
- Routes requests through 50 ToS-friendly providers offering 1.3B+ free tokens per month, including DeepSeek, Kimi, paid, subscription and local models
- One searchable model catalog across 10 coding agents; usable from terminal, app, IDE, phone, or browser native sessions (multi-harness + multi-model, voice supported)
- Setup takes 5 minutes; the project removes integrations when providers disallow them to avoid account risk
- 20,000+ developers reportedly already use it
