Recursi

TL;DR

A local-first coding environment that lets you build software via natural language without getting slapped with massive API bills.

Who is this actually for?

Indie hackers and privacy-conscious devs who have a solid GPU and are tired of lighting money on fire with Claude or OpenAI tokens.

The Good

• Zero per-token costs since it leverages local models or your own infrastructure.
• The self-improving loop attempts to fix its own bugs before you even see them.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

Running high-quality models locally requires serious hardware, and "self-improving" logic often turns into a hallucination loop if the model isn't smart enough.
