Clave vs Devgrex

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.

Devgrex is an AI-native development environment that combines an editor, autonomous agents, and model routing. Its Tab model offers context-aware multiline completions, partial acceptance, and ghost-text previews, with sub-100ms latency for local models. Agents can edit several files, run terminal commands in a sandbox, find and fix errors, and manage Git operations. Cloud Agents run on a cloud VM and can create GitHub or GitLab repositories, push branches, and open pull requests. Developers can use managed models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Moonshot, bring their own provider keys, or connect local models through Ollama and compatible servers. The environment also provides semantic codebase indexing and search, MCP connections to external tools, and compatibility with VS Code extensions, themes, keybindings, and settings. Privacy modes include local completions and offline operation, with automatic redaction before cloud requests. Its free plan includes local completions, agent chat, and offline mode. Devgrex was founded in 2025 and is based in Tallinn, Estonia.
