Pendant brings Pi into VS Code and VSCodium as a simple, fast, and lightweight sidebar.
What it can do, in a nutshell
- Bring your own Pi, or start immediately. Use the bundled runtime or connect Pendant to an existing
pi or oh-my-pi (omp) setup.
- Your Pi setup, ready to use. Load Pi skills and extensions, including native Q&A dialogs and extension-provided UI.
- Bring real context into your work. Attach files, folders, editor selections, diagnostics, and Git state, with multi-root workspace awareness.
- See what Pi is doing. Follow streaming tool calls, command output, diffs, Mermaid diagrams, MathJax, and plan progress. And much more, probably.
- Stay in control of longer work. Keep persistent, pinnable sessions in the sidebar or editor tabs, steer or queue follow-ups, and edit or fork conversations from earlier messages.
- Know what you have left. Check OpenAI Codex and Kimi usage limits, or your OpenRouter credit balance, directly in the chat.
- Local all the way. Run fully offline with a local model and dictate on-device with
whisper.cpp; your audio never leaves your machine.
- Zero telemetry. Pendant sends no analytics or crash reports. Optional diagnostics are opt-in and write only fixed-vocabulary status outcomes (which named boundary, what outcome, plus a duration, count, or byte size where relevant) to your editor's local Pendant output channel, never prompts, transcripts, code, paths, credentials, or raw process output. Pendant never transmits or exports the log. Any network requests go to the Pi runtime, model providers, or services you choose.
