DCode

Released

Lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal.

A DeepSeek-focused fork of Codex CLI shipping the `dcode` command. Defaults to DeepSeek V4 Flash, supports API-key login, DeepSeek balance and model APIs, and an optional external vision model for image inputs. Signed, checksummed release builds for macOS, Linux and Windows.

Overview

DCode keeps the upstream Codex development workflow and layers a DeepSeek-shaped product on top: `/login` in the TUI takes a DeepSeek API key, and the account balance then shows up in the status line. Images are handled by an optional external vision model rather than by the main coding model.

Releases are the deliberate part of this project. The installer verifies the archive against `dcode_SHA256SUMS`, unpacks a complete runtime package under `${DCODE_HOME:-~/.dcode}/packages/standalone`, and exposes the command through `~/.local/bin`. `dcode update` reinstalls the newest release through that same verified path. macOS artifacts are ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarized.

What it does

  • Ships the `dcode` command; defaults to DeepSeek V4 Flash with API-key login from inside the TUI.
  • DeepSeek balance and model APIs wired in — remaining balance appears in the status line after login.
  • Optional external vision model for image inputs.
  • Release targets: macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux glibc (arm64 and x86_64), Windows x86_64.
  • Installer verifies SHA-256 checksums; `DCODE_INSTALL_DIR` and `DCODE_RELEASE` override the install path and version.
