Clixad

Clixad is a terminal coding agent that reads project files, proposes code changes and runs commands. The official setup guide requires Node.js 20 or newer, installs through npm and uses GitHub sign-in. Model access is provided through Clixad’s hosted gateway, so users do not need to supply individual provider API keys.

Approvals depend on the permission mode. The terms describe plan, which makes no changes; normal, which asks before changes and commands; and acceptEdits, which permits file edits without asking. Choose the mode deliberately and keep work in version control.

The free-model guide lists a shared allowance of 60,000 usage credits per account per day across five models, resetting at midnight UTC. A service-wide daily budget can also limit free access. The 25,000-credit signup bonus is separate. Additional usage can draw on earned credits or optional purchased packs: Mini costs $3 for 280,000 credits, Starter $5 for 500,000, Plus $15 for 1.65 million and Pro $50 for 6 million. These are one-time purchases, with no monthly subscription.

The CLI runs on your machine, but inference is remote. Its privacy policy says conversations, file contents read by the agent and command results pass through the gateway and OpenRouter to the selected model provider. Clixad generally does not retain this content, with an exception when users rate an exchange; provider retention also applies. Local installation therefore does not establish a self-hosted model service.
