We're excited to announce VibeCoder Heretic - an open-source boilerplate for autonomous coding agents that runs entirely on your infrastructure.
The Problem We're Solving
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.
Our Solution
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.
Why Not a SaaS?
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.
What Makes Us Different
Your Computer: Docker on your PC, Kubernetes in production
Your AI Models: Claude, z.ai GLM-5.1 (20x cheaper), or bring your own
Your Workflow: Kanboard + MCP, GitHub, whatever you use
Your Data: Code never leaves your computer
No vendor lock-in. No monthly fees. No "we updated our terms of service" surprises.
Key Capabilities
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Run parallel tasks across repositories. Bug fix in repo A, new feature in repo B - simultaneously.
Real-Time Terminal
Watch every command, every file change, every decision. Full transparency, zero black boxes.
Automatic Pull Requests
Changes go straight to GitHub, ready for review. Nothing touches production without your approval.
Review Agent
Code review, security analysis, best practices - automated quality gates before any PR merges.
Kanban Integration
Connect to Kanboard via MCP. Tasks flow from board to agent to PR.
Flexible AI Backends
Claude Code, Open Code, z.ai GLM-5.1 for cost-effective scaling. Pick what works.
Lifetime License
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".
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.
Why Heretic Lazy Shot's MCP server returns file paths and never image data. The token math, the error contract, the logging, and the cases where base64 is the right call.
