Describe what you want to do, and Kodnik writes and edits your project files directly on your computer. It is a desktop application where local AI works in an agent loop and uses multiple tools to work with files, run commands and complete the next steps of a task.
Kodnik creates new programs, edits existing files and fixes errors in your project. When you need current information, switch to ONLINE mode and Kodnik uses internet tools.
Start with a short instruction, and Kodnik takes the task from an idea to a working change in your files.
Kodnik recognizes whether the task is to create a program, edit an existing project or fix an error. It shows a work plan, applies changes to files and lets you return to the previous state with one click.
From a short instruction, through a work plan, to a concrete change in your files. You see every step and can immediately request further changes.
Work on a project folder, full control over changes, undo and updates — all locally on your computer.
Before Kodnik edits or fixes a file, it saves a restore point. After the work is complete, you see a change notice below the code and can use Undo change to restore the file to its state before the edit.
You and the AI agent use the same project terminal session. You can enter commands manually, and Kodnik can continue working in that same PowerShell, CMD or Git Bash session — running commands, reading results and reacting to errors.
The most important local-model settings are available from Kodnik's bottom bar.
A small context speeds up work, a large context provides more room for files and conversation, and Auto selects the setting automatically. The bottle shows how much of the selected context is currently in use: it fills as usage increases, while the percentage below shows the current level.
Use Thinking for a more difficult task, or Fast when you want a quicker response.
On first launch, Kodnik scans your computer, selects the compute backend and calculates how to distribute the model between GPU memory and system memory. You install it and work — Kodnik handles the setup.
It detects an NVIDIA, AMD or Intel GPU and reads the exact VRAM amount, driver version, CPU core count and RAM before launching the model.
Based on your GPU, it selects the most suitable compute backend — CUDA for NVIDIA, Vulkan for AMD and Intel — or CPU mode when no supported GPU is available.
It calculates how many model layers fit in GPU memory and how many should remain on CPU and RAM, maximizing hardware use without overfilling memory.
NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and CPU-only when needed. Kodnik adapts to the hardware you have and does not require one specific GPU model.
It reads the actual amount of GPU memory, including cards above 4 GB, so it can choose the correct runtime settings.
If a hardware detail cannot be detected, Kodnik falls back to a safe mode and still starts the model.
The beta version uses two tested local AI models: Qwen3.5‑9B‑Q6_K_L and Qwen3.6‑27B‑Q3_K_L. Both models are released under the Apache 2.0 license, and the GGUF files in these quantizations used by Kodnik were prepared by Bartowski. Kodnik automatically selects the model appropriate for the task.
Kodnik uses it for regular conversation, simple tasks, simpler analysis and lighter project changes. The smaller model responds faster.
When Kodnik enters a more complex mode or a task requires more demanding coding work, it automatically switches to the 27B model.
During beta, we only provide models that have been tested and work well in Kodnik. Over time, we will add more tested models to choose from.
Both models run on your computer. Project files stay on your side, while speed depends on your CPU, RAM and GPU.
Kodnik is a Windows desktop application. In OFFLINE mode you work locally; turn on ONLINE mode when you want to give the model access to internet tools or check for application updates.
Work with project files without a cloud account and without a permanent internet connection.
After switching to ONLINE, the model can use internet tools to search for information, open pages and download files. This mode is also used to check for Kodnik updates.
Kodnik runs locally and does not require a cloud account. In OFFLINE mode, it works on your computer. After switching to ONLINE, the model can use internet tools to search for information, open pages and download files.
Open a project folder, enter an instruction and see changes in files on your computer — from the idea and file analysis to concrete project changes.
Kodnik runs local AI models and distributes their work between system RAM and GPU memory. Tested configurations are 32 GB RAM or 24 GB RAM with an 8 GB VRAM GPU. Windows 10/11 x64, an AVX2-capable CPU and about 24,8 GB of disk space are required.
Windows 10 / 11 x64 and an x86_64 CPU with AVX2. Kodnik is a desktop application installed on your computer.
A tested configuration even without a powerful GPU. In this setup, a larger part of the model can run in system RAM.
A tested configuration. A larger part of the model runs on the GPU, allowing Kodnik to work with 24 GB of system RAM.
It is not required with 32 GB RAM, but it noticeably speeds up work. Kodnik supports NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs.
About 24.8 GB for the application and models. Leave additional free space for updates and your own projects.
Other RAM and VRAM combinations may also work, but not every configuration has been tested yet.
You receive the installer for the current Windows version, beta updates at no extra cost and an agent with two local AI models for working on your own project folder.
One-time payment: PLN 19.99
The same checkout is used for customers in Poland and abroad. The price charged by the checkout is PLN 19.99.
When your card or account uses another currency, your bank or card issuer handles the conversion. The final converted amount and any currency fee depend on your provider.

The direction is clear: better work with project files, more control over changes, a smoother task workflow and a wider choice of tested local AI models.
Open a project folder and enter an instruction. Kodnik reads your files, shows a plan and then applies code changes — creating new files, editing existing files and fixing errors. It saves a restore point before each change.
Windows 10/11 x64, an AVX2-capable CPU and about 24.8 GB of disk space are required. Tested memory configurations are 32 GB RAM, or 24 GB RAM with a GPU equipped with 8 GB VRAM.
Internet access is needed for the initial setup, ONLINE mode, model downloads and updates. Regular local work can be done offline.
Yes. In OFFLINE mode, Kodnik works locally on your computer. After switching to ONLINE, the model can use internet tools to search for information, open pages and download files.
Yes. A tested configuration without a powerful GPU uses 32 GB RAM. With 24 GB RAM, the tested configuration includes a GPU with 8 GB VRAM.
No. You pay once, with no subscription and no cloud account. Beta updates are included at no extra cost.
