Pendant brings Pi into VS Code as a focused, lightweight sidebar and editor tabs. It uses Pi directly, loads your configuration, extensions, skills and prompts, and supports every model available in your setup. Around it come modern touches: image attachments, Mermaid diagrams and other rich output, a focused view, and more.
- Any model. Use anything your Pi setup supports, from local models to hosted frontier models.
- Editor context. Attach files, folders, selections, diagnostics, images, and Git state without copy-paste.
- Rich agent UI. Follow streaming tools, diffs, plans, subagents, Mermaid diagrams, MathJax, extension widgets, and terminal interfaces in chat.
- Persistent sessions. Pin, search, reorder, fork, steer, and queue conversations from the sidebar or editor tabs.
- Local voice and offline work. Dictate on-device with
whisper.cpp, or pair Pendant with a local model and work without a network connection. - No lock-in. Your Pi configuration stays authoritative, and Pendant adds no hosted proxy, telemetry, or remote crash reporting.
