T3 ToolsAI Coding Agent

T3 Code

MIT-licensed app from T3 Tools that runs Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity and fx through the subscriptions and logins you already have, from a desktop app, a local web app or a phone.

The 30-Second Take

T3 Code fits engineers who use more than one coding agent and want one app to run, compare and hand work between them.

It costs nothing and resells no tokens, so each agent keeps billing through its own plan.

Best fit
Engineers who run two or more of Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode and Antigravity and want them in one app, on a desktop, in a browser or from a phone.
Main constraint
Early software: seven stable releases in 30 days, Full access as the default for new threads, and support through its Discord.
First move
Set new threads to Supervised or Auto-accept edits, and decide whether Claude runs on a subscription login or an API key.

Why

It is early software on a nightly release pace, and new threads start in Full access. Its Claude route runs on Anthropic's Agent SDK with the user's own login, while Anthropic asks products built on that SDK to use API keys. Settle both before a team relies on it.

Comparisons

How does T3 Code compare with the alternatives?

See all 4 comparisons

  1. T3 Code vs Codex

    • AI Coding Agents

    Add T3 Code if your Codex team also wants Claude Code or Cursor running in parallel, in one app you can reach from a phone. It runs Codex on your ChatGPT plan or Codex login, and it is free under the MIT license and resells no tokens. If everyone stays on OpenAI's models, keep Codex's own app.

  2. T3 Code vs Claude Code

    • AI Coding Agents

    Keep Claude Code if Claude is your only model, since it works with your Pro, Max or Ultra plan. Add T3 Code when you want Claude threads beside Codex or Cursor, each in its own git worktree. Its Claude route runs on Anthropic's Agent SDK, and T3 Code's FAQ says that drains 5-hour limits faster.

  3. T3 Code vs OpenCode

    • AI Coding Agents

    Pick OpenCode if your team runs local models: it reaches 75+ providers and runs local models, while T3 Code's FAQ says T3 Code supports none. Run OpenCode inside T3 Code when the same engineers also use Codex or Claude Code, so every agent sits in one sidebar of threads.

Operator Insights

What are engineering leaders learning from deploying T3 Code?

Buying and deployment

What engineering leaders should verify before a broader rollout.

Sourced from T3 Code documentation

How you buy it

Free, MIT license

No paid plan; each agent bills through its own plan, login or key.

Source 1, T3 Tools, FAQ: FAQ

Details

Free under the MIT license; T3 Code's FAQ says there is no way to pay for it. Each agent bills through its own subscription or login, and API keys and OpenRouter work as an extra provider instance.

Cost drivers

Your agents' plans

T3 Code's FAQ says its Claude route drains 5-hour limits faster; T3 Connect is free for 3 machines.

Source 1, T3 Tools, FAQ: FAQ

Details

The agents' plans and keys are the cost. T3 Code's FAQ says its Claude route, through Anthropic's Agent SDK, drains 5-hour limits faster than Claude Code directly. T3 Connect is free for 3 machines per account.

Where it runs

Desktop, web, phone

macOS, Windows and Linux, a local web app, and iOS and Android remotes for a computer that stays on.

Source 2, GitHub, Install: InstallSource 1, T3 Tools, FAQ: FAQ

Details

A desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, the t3 command with a local web app, and iOS and Android apps that control a computer that stays on. Agents run where T3 Code runs, a laptop, server or VPS.

What to verify

Full access default

New threads start in Full access, and telemetry is on by default.

Source 3, T3 Tools, Permission modes: Permission modesSource 4, T3 Tools, Telemetry: Telemetry

Details

New threads start in Full access, and T3 Code sends product usage data by default, tied to a hashed account or installation identifier and excluding prompts and file contents; T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false turns it off. Before rollout, confirm SSO, audit log and support terms with T3 Tools, and Claude plan use through the Agent SDK with Anthropic.

How this figure is made

Leaders and teams have 5 accounts; GILD prints their sentiment from 20.

Current sentiment

Positive, mixed and negative sources

Praise centers on one app for several agents and subscriptions and on its thread sidebar. Stability is the most frequent concern, followed by the nightly build that carries the newest features and by missing team and enterprise controls.

FootprintT3 Code across the Agentic Software Development stack. Bar height is its role on each layer.

  1. Plan

    1. Work planning: Supports

      Work planning, supports. Each agent's own plan mode runs inside a T3 Code thread; planning and tracking stay in the team's tracker.

  2. Build

    1. Codebase context: Touches

      Codebase context, touches. The agent T3 Code drives reads and searches the repository; T3 Code keeps no index of its own.

    2. Coding: Supports

      Coding, supports. Edits come from the agent in each thread, run in the project or a git worktree; T3 Code shows the diff and the turn.

    3. Agent runtime: Core

      Agent runtime, core. This is T3 Code's role: one app and local server that starts, switches and monitors several agent harnesses, reachable from the desktop app, a browser or the iOS and Android apps.

    4. Tool execution: Supports

      Tool execution, supports. Each agent runs its own tools and MCP servers under the permission mode set in T3 Code, and outside agents can reach T3 Code over MCP.

  3. Validate

    1. Debugging: Touches

      Debugging, touches. Agents investigate failures from their threads and T3 Code's terminal; debuggers and tracing stay with dedicated tools.

    2. Testing: Touches

      Testing, touches. Agents run tests in their threads; test infrastructure and coverage stay with the team's tooling.

    3. Code review: Touches

      Code review, touches. T3 Code shows each turn's diff for the engineer to read; it is not a review product.

    4. Application security: Touches

      Application security, touches. Permission modes decide what an agent may do without asking; T3 Code does no security scanning.

  4. Ship

    1. Source control: Supports

      Source control, supports. Threads can run in git worktrees, and the source control integrations commit and open pull requests; Git stays the system of record.

    2. CI/CD: Touches

      CI/CD, touches. T3 Code runs on an engineer's machine or a server they control; build and delivery stay in the team's CI/CD.

  5. Operate

    1. Observability: Touches

      Observability, touches. T3 Code provides no monitoring or alerting for your systems.

Several models in one app

How do you route work across the models T3 Code reaches, and what does each data route cost?

T3 Code reaches models only through the agents it drives. These figures show which agent reaches which model, how current models compare on separate kinds of work, and what a model API's own tools cost against the data sources' APIs.

Current models by kind of work

A model's own tool, or the data source's API

What does each route cost for the same workload, and when does it work at all?

Some model APIs include server-side tools that reach data otherwise sold through a paid API. Each route below names the API and tool you enable, its price per call or item on top of tokens, and what it leaves out. Prices are list prices as each vendor's page stated them on Nov 1, 2026.

Each post counts once, as both vendors bill per post returned. Priced over a 30-day month.

Same price per post. X Search also runs the searches and a Grok model reads the posts, billed in tokens on top; the X API returns the raw posts for your own code or model to process.

At 1,000 X posts read a day, every route costs the same: US$150 a month.

A model API's own tool

  1. xAI API with X Search

    US$150 a month30,000 posts at US$5 per 1,000.

The data source's API

  1. X API, pay-per-use

What each route needs, and what it leaves out

xAI API with X Search

US$5 per 1,000 posts fetched, plus the Grok model's tokens. Parent and quoted posts count as posts.

Needs

  • Calls go to xAI's API with the x_search tool enabled, which searches X posts, user profiles and threads.
  • The model decides how many searches to run, so cost scales with query complexity, as xAI's page says.

Leaves out

  • Model tokens for reading and answering are billed on top.

X API, pay-per-use

US$0.005 per post read, from prepaid credits, with no subscription.

Needs

  • Credits are bought upfront in X's Developer Console.
  • A spending limit per billing cycle blocks requests once reached.

Leaves out

  • No model reads or summarizes the posts; that is a separate model bill.
  • X's page says to add credits before the balance reaches zero to keep access.
