SocratiCode

What it does

Builds a context layer over an entire repository — and its infrastructure — that any assistant can draw on, with zero configuration, running fully locally and at no cost. The larger the codebase, the more it earns its place. "Fully private" describes the indexing; whatever your chosen assistant then sends onward is governed by that assistant. AGPL-3.0, so offering it as a service carries source obligations, while personal use does not.

SocratiCode FAQ

Is SocratiCode free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use SocratiCode?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does SocratiCode work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use SocratiCode commercially?

The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.

How it compares

The conditions that decide whether you can actually use it, side by side.

"Sends data out" means your input is uploaded to someone's server. Pick "No" when the material cannot leave your organisation.
