Forge / Open-Source Agents

OpenHands

Open source

Open-source Devin-style agent you run in Docker. Use when you want a sandboxed coding agent without a SaaS bill.

No cardSelf-hostable

Free tier

MIT-licensed self-hosted coding agent. You provide compute + model.

Limits

Needs a machine that can run Docker. Not a phone-first tool.

Best for

  • Self-hosted coding agents
  • Sandbox experiments
  • Teams that want source

How to use it well

  1. Run the official Docker compose. Do not expose the UI to the public internet.
  2. Point it at a cheap/free model first. Measure one task before overnight loops.
  3. Review the PR it opens. Never auto-merge agent code.

Myanmar notes

Power and hardware constrained in many MM homes. Prefer OpenCode/Cline unless you have a workstation.
