Clave vs Creor

Clave is a free, open-source desktop app for running coding-agent sessions in tabs, groups, and project workspaces. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Pi, plain terminals, and remote agents over OpenClaw. Claude Code and Codex can use a chat view with rendered answers, grouped tool calls, attachments, and model selection. Groups retain sessions, folders, saved terminals, and prompts, while workspace files can act as project templates. A side panel combines a file tree, editors, HTML preview, and git tools for diffs, history, and one-click sync. Its MCP server provides twenty-three tools for tab and group management, file opening, and messaging. Clave runs locally without an account or cloud backend, with remote access through SSH and SFTP. macOS supports Apple Silicon and Intel; the early Windows build has stated limitations. The app is MIT-licensed and costs nothing.

Creor is an AI-native code editor whose agents write, plan, and debug across an entire codebase. Build Agent writes code, runs commands, and makes multi-file changes in isolated Git branches. Plan Agent is read-only, while Explore Agent traces symbols and maps dependencies. Repo Map creates a structural project overview and inserts it into sessions. Creor lists more than 19 LLM providers and connects MCP servers, with GitHub, Notion, and Slack shown in its tools interface. More than 25 built-in tools cover file operations, search, LSP, analysis, version control, and web access. The editor can open a real interactive terminal for long-running processes or commands requiring input. Every edit appears as a diff before application, and snapshots can restore earlier session states. Cloud agents can review pull requests, detect bugs, generate documentation, run tests, refactor code, and integrate with CI/CD in temporary sandboxed clones. Creor runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Plans include Free, BYOK, Starter at 20.00 USD monthly, and Pro at 40.00 USD monthly.
