Versions:
agentty is a terminal-based coding agent developed and published by agentty, currently at version 0.8.0, with a total of twelve versions released to date. The software positions itself as a native C++26 terminal coding agent and a drop-in alternative to claude-code, delivering what its publisher describes as blazing-fast Claude functionality directly within the terminal environment. Unlike solutions built on Node, Python, or Electron, agentty is distributed as a single static binary, eliminating external runtime dependencies and enabling a sub-millisecond cold start time. Security is a core design consideration: the agent is sandboxed by default, and it supports a one-command SSH air-gap workflow, making it suitable for isolated or restricted environments where controlled access is required. Authentication is flexible, as users can sign in either with an existing Claude Pro or Claude Max subscription or by providing an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, allowing both subscription-based and API-key-based access to Claude's capabilities. The software falls squarely into the developer tools and AI-assisted coding category, serving programmers who want an AI coding assistant tightly integrated into their command-line workflow without the overhead of heavier application frameworks. Typical use cases include terminal-native AI pair programming, code generation and editing within a shell session, and coding assistance in air-gapped or security-conscious environments where the sandboxed execution model and static binary distribution are advantageous. Because it is implemented in C++26, agentty targets users who value native performance, minimal startup latency, and a lightweight footprint while retaining full compatibility with the claude-code workflow it aims to replace. With twelve versions published and the current release standing at 0.8.0, the project shows an active development history, suggesting ongoing refinement of its feature set, stability, and compatibility as it approaches a mature release milestone.
