We're excited to announce VibeCoder Heretic - an open-source boilerplate for autonomous coding agents that runs entirely on your infrastructure.
Your backlog grows faster than your team can ship. Senior devs waste hours on routine tasks. Every new feature means more hiring, more coordination, more waiting.
AI can write code now. But existing tools are either black boxes where your code lives on someone else's servers, SaaS platforms with monthly fees, or too generic - built for everyone, optimized for no one.
VibeCoder Heretic lets you spin up autonomous coding agents that understand your codebase, follow your patterns, and create pull requests - all running on your infrastructure.
The entire developer workflow - from task to code to review - managed by agents. Code is data. Your data stays yours.
After 20 years of building software, we've learned one thing: every team is different. Generic platforms force you into their box. We give you the box - you shape it.
No vendor lock-in. No monthly fees. No "we updated our terms of service" surprises.
Run parallel tasks across repositories. Bug fix in repo A, new feature in repo B - simultaneously.
Watch every command, every file change, every decision. Full transparency, zero black boxes.
Changes go straight to GitHub, ready for review. Nothing touches production without your approval.
Code review, security analysis, best practices - automated quality gates before any PR merges.
Connect to Kanboard via MCP. Tasks flow from board to agent to PR.
Claude Code, Open Code, z.ai GLM-5.1 for cost-effective scaling. Pick what works.
One payment. Forever yours. Full source code access, all future updates, private community of heretics, and direct line to the developer.
No subscriptions. No per-seat pricing. No "contact sales".

Snagit retired its perpetual license in January 2025. An honest ranking of the exits (ShareX, Shottr, CleanShot X, Heretic Lazy Shot) by platform, price model, and what people really use.
Xnapper is Mac-only. The cross-platform answer is Heretic Lazy Shot's GPU compositor: 19 canvas presets, 2-to-5-stop gradients, a 46-image background catalog, per-preset memory, on macOS and Windows.
CleanShot X is Mac-only and staying that way. An honest audit of what replaces it on Windows and mixed fleets: one-time pricing, a compositor, OCR on Mac, redaction, and an MCP server for agents.
