AI-Powered Code Editor – Fully Local. Open Source. Developer-Centric.
Pointer is a lightweight, AI-augmented code editor designed to work entirely offline using your own local LLMs.
No cloud. No telemetry. No API keys. Just your code, your models, and full control.
Inspired by tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, but built for devs who care about privacy, performance, and freedom.
