Why Cinnacode?
Most AI coding assistants charge a flat monthly subscription — whether you use them heavily or barely touch them that month. Cinnacode works differently: buy credits once, spend them at your own pace. No recurring charge for the weeks you don't code.
- 🎁 200 free credits on signup — no card required, whether you sign up as a guest or with GitHub
- 💳 28 credits per chat message, 6 per inline completion
- 📅 Credits valid for 9 months — no rush, no expiry pressure
Features
Ask questions, request fixes, or get explanations — right in a native VS Code sidebar panel. No new app, no context switch.
⌨️ Cmd+K Quick Edit
Select any code, press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux), describe the change in plain English, and review a diff before it touches your file.
🔍 Diff & Apply, Always
Every suggestion — from chat or Cmd+K — shows a real diff before anything changes. Apply stays disabled until you've actually reviewed it, and one more confirmation dialog stands between you and any file write. Nothing happens silently.
📎 @ File Mentions
Pull other files into a conversation by typing @ and a filename. Cinnacode reads them fresh, so it understands more than just the file you have open.
📄 Document Upload
Attach a requirements doc, spec, or any text-based file via the + button in the chat panel. Cinnacode can compare it against your actual code — pointing out what's implemented, what's missing, and proposing the code for the rest.
🗺️ Project-Wide Context
Ask "where is the discount calculation logic?" without knowing which file it's in — Cinnacode scans your whole project's structure to find and name the relevant file, even ones you've never opened or mentioned.
🎚️ Model Selection
Pick ⚡ Fast, ⚖️ Balanced, or 🧠 Most Capable right from the chat panel — trade off speed for depth depending on what you're working on. Your choice is remembered across sessions.
