Tabby is an open-source dev tools project by TabbyML (TabbyML/tabby on GitHub). It has 33,890 GitHub stars and 1,793 forks, is released under the Custom (check repo) license, and was last updated on GitHub on 30 June 2026.
Editor extensions, terminal commands, or standalone apps — most install in under a minute.
Use a hosted frontier API, or keep everything local with an open model backend.
The tool indexes your codebase so suggestions and edits are project-aware.
Ask for features, let it edit files, run tests, and review diffs before you accept.
Not just autocomplete — plans, edits multiple files, and runs commands.
Indexes your repo so answers respect your actual code, not guesses.
Lives where you work: VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, or the plain terminal.
Swap between frontier APIs and local models per task.
Every change is a reviewable diff — you stay in control.
Customize prompts, tools, and behavior; no black box.
Clone the repository or download the latest release for your OS.
git clone https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby.gitEvery project documents its own setup — the README's install section is the source of truth.
Start the app or server as documented and open the interface it provides.
It multiplies them — the best results come from developers directing, reviewing, and owning the design.
Cloud frontier models code best today; local models keep everything private and free.
It is an open-source project at TabbyML/tabby with 1,793 forks. Check the repo's contributors and recent commits to see how active maintenance is.
With local models, no. With APIs, check the provider — many offer zero-retention modes.
Coverage varies: VS Code and terminal are universal; check each tool for JetBrains/Neovim.
The tools are open-source; model usage may cost if you use paid APIs.
