Our Take
ShioriCode is the open-source alternative to Codex and Claude Code—and it's basically giving you the keys to the kingdom when it comes to AI coding agents. Instead of locking you into one model, it runs Codex, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Kimi, and Shiori side by side in a single checkpointed workspace. That's not a feature list, that's a power move.
The workflow is simple but legit: describe what you want to build, watch the agent stream every file edit and shell command in real-time, then inspect per-turn diffs, rewind to any checkpoint if things go sideways, and merge when you're ready. Their Git-checkpointed approach means every turn is save-scummable, which is huge when you're trusting an AI to touch your codebase. Plus embedded terminal and Model Context Protocol support means it actually plays nice with real dev workflows, not some marketing-friendly wrapper. Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
The catch? It's included with paid Shiori subscriptions (Plus, Pro, Max tiers). But for developers who want flexibility across models without the vendor lock-in headache, this is worth a look.
