Built for the Way You Actually Work
Dino is fast, safe, and works with any model — so you stay in control of your code, your costs, and your craft.
Stay in the Flow
You shouldn't have to fetch a coffee every time you ask AI for a change. Dino is built for active pairing, not async delegation. Its token-efficient design completes tasks in as few rounds as possible—so you stay in the zone instead of tuning out.
Code All Day Without Token Anxiety
Getting top-tier coding performance shouldn't mean breaking the bank or rationing prompts. Dino is optimized to get the most out of affordable, high-value coding plans. Even a basic $20/month flat-rate plan can cover most everyday coding needs—giving you top-tier intelligence without the top-tier price tag.
No Permission Fatigue. No YOLO Mode.
Dino never modifies your files directly. Instead, all proposed changes live in a staging layer so you can review and iterate on them before applying to disk. Read access is strictly sandboxed to your VS Code workspace — no surprises, no side effects, so you can have total peace of mind.
Your Code Stays Yours
Dino does not collect or share your message history or workspace data. Conversations are stored locally and are never used to train models. We believe your code and context are your property — not training data.
Diff Editing That Actually Works.
Precise diff editing is notoriously hard to get right — other agents either struggle with it or skip it entirely and rewrite whole files, which is slow and token-hungry. Dino performs reliable diff edits across multiple files with all major models, not just the most advanced ones.
Review Every Change
Dino presents all edits in a clean, GitHub-style diff viewer. Review changes file by file, leave inline comments to send feedback, or selectively accept only the parts you want. You're the final authority — nothing merges without your sign-off.
Every Chat Is a Feature Branch
Dino's built-in version control treats each conversation like a feature branch with as many changesets as you need. Iterate freely, revisit earlier states, and branch off in a new direction — all without touching your git setup or creating complex worktrees.
Your Models. Your Keys. Your Choice.
Connect your own API keys from any model provider—from giants like Anthropic and OpenAI to high-value coding plans from MiniMax, Moonshot, and Z.ai. Switch models at any time — even mid-conversation — to use the best tool for the task. Dino works reliably across all major model families.
Just Open It and Start Working.
No PRDs to write. No plan/act modes to switch between. Dino can see your entire VS Code workspace and is great at locating the relevant files on its own — so you never need to hand-pick context. Just tell it what needs to be done and iterate from there.
Beautifully Crafted. Not Vibe-Coded.
Buttery smooth, lightning fast, and memory efficient. Beautiful markdown rendering with syntax-highlighted code blocks, tables, and math equations. A 2MB install that outperforms tools 100x its size. Love is in the details.
