Clixad

Clixad is an AI coding agent that runs directly in the terminal instead of an IDE plugin or browser tab. It reads a project's files, writes code changes, and runs commands, asking for approval before it modifies anything — a workflow aimed at developers who want an agent they can supervise step by step rather than one that acts fully autonomously. The tool is in open beta and installs like a typical CLI utility, with live demos and documentation available on its site. It's built for developers who already work from a terminal and want a coding agent that fits that habit, rather than switching to a dedicated editor or chat interface. Clixad is free to use: signup requires no credit card, and new users start with 5,000 credits. Additional credits come from completing advertiser surveys and forms, with optional sponsored messaging offered as another way to top up, rather than a traditional subscription. No individual feature is paywalled, though premium underlying models consume credits faster per turn. One limitation worth flagging: an ad- and survey-funded credit model is unusual for a coding tool and means usage limits depend on completing third-party offers rather than a predictable monthly quota.
