Loxie for VS Code

Chat with Loxie inside VS Code. Sidebar chat, inline completions, and "ask about selection" — all billed to your Loxie plan. No API keys to copy, no per-model billing to wire up.

Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCodium.

Features

Sidebar chat with streaming Markdown, code blocks, and conversation history
Inline completions as you type, powered by openai/gpt-5-nano (toggleable)
Ask about selection — highlight code, press ⌘/Ctrl+Alt+L, get an explanation in chat
One-click sign-in via device-code flow — no keys to paste or rotate
Model picker — auto routing by default, or pin any supported model
Privacy-first — your code stays on your machine unless you explicitly send it to chat

Install

From the Marketplace (recommended)

Open the Extensions view in VS Code (⇧⌘X / Ctrl+Shift+X)
Search for Loxie
Click Install
Click the Loxie icon in the activity bar → Sign in with Loxie

From Open VSX (Cursor / Windsurf / VSCodium)

Search for Loxie in the Extensions view, or visit open-vsx.org/extension/loxie/loxie.

From a `.vsix` file

Download the latest .vsix from loxie.co/app/extensions, then run Extensions: Install from VSIX… from the command palette.

Loxie uses a device-code flow: the extension opens loxie.co/app/extensions/authorize in your browser, you approve once, and a scoped session token is returned and stored in VS Code's SecretStorage. The token is sent as a bearer to the Loxie backend, which validates the request, meters usage against your plan, and persists chat history under a per-user VS Code conversation visible from your Loxie dashboard.

Sign out anytime: command palette → Loxie: Sign out.

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`loxie.model`	`auto`	Default chat model. `auto` uses Loxie's smart routing.
`loxie.completions.enabled`	`true`	Toggle inline code completions.
`loxie.apiBase`	Loxie backend	Override only if you self-host Loxie.

Commands

Command	Default keybinding
`Loxie: Sign in`	—
`Loxie: Sign out`	—
`Loxie: New chat`	—
`Loxie: Ask about selection`	`⌘/Ctrl+Alt+L`

Privacy

The extension never reads your workspace files unless you explicitly trigger a command (e.g. Ask about selection) or request completions
Inline-completion context is a small window around your cursor (≤ 2 000 chars prefix, ≤ 800 chars suffix); files at rest are never uploaded
No telemetry. Usage events are limited to what the Loxie backend records for billing, identical to web and Chrome-extension usage
Session tokens live in VS Code's encrypted SecretStorage
