On October 12, 2026, The New Stack reported a major overhaul: OpenCode 2.0 puts the project's terminal, desktop, and web apps on one shared service. This note does not restate features beyond that report and the repository's own description.

The GitHub repository anomalyco/opencode is MIT-licensed and describes itself as "The open source coding agent." The project site is opencode.ai. Model access is separate from the client license; this page does not quote a hosted-plan price because we did not take one from an OpenCode pricing page.

If you are comparing terminal agents, start with Cline, Aider, and Goose. The longer writeup is OpenCode vs Cline vs Aider.
