Gaman - AI Code Agent, no-subscription alternative to Claude Code.

Hi PH 👋 I’m Luciano, the creator of Gaman. Thanks for stopping by! Claude Code is honestly an excellent tool, and using it daily made one thing very clear to me: AI coding agents are already good enough. The real question now isn’t “can it write code?”, it’s how much control do you have over the agent that’s doing the work? That’s what pushed me to build Gaman. I wanted an AI coding agent that: 💡 Runs locally on your machine 💡 Is bought with a one-time payment, not a subscription 💡 Lets you see, control, and approve what actually runs 💡 Can be modified, extended, and improved over time Gaman is terminal-first and execution-focused. It can run shell commands, edit files, browse the web, manage long-running sessions, and use subagents, all while staying stateful and safe. Sessions can be saved and resumed, context is compressed automatically, and dangerous actions require explicit approval. The development process evolved a lot while building this. What started as a simple “agent runner” quickly turned into a system focused on state, safety, and extensibility, things that really matter once you move beyond short chats and start doing real work. This is still early, and I’m building it very openly. I’d love feedback from developers who care about ownership, local tools, and agentic workflows. Happy to answer any questions, and thanks for checking out Gaman.
