VSCodium provides community-driven, freely-licensed binary distributions of Microsoft's VS Code editor. While the vscode source code is open source, the official product released by Microsoft includes proprietary licensing and tracking features. This project provides builds directly from the clean, open-source repository, giving you a pure experience.
The result is a powerful code editor that is functionally identical to VS Code but with crucial differences: telemetry is completely disabled, and the binaries are licensed under the permissive MIT license. You get the full coding experience without any Microsoft-specific tracking, logos, or gallery configurations. The VSCodium project exists so you don't have to build from source yourself; it provides ready-to-use installers for a hassle-free setup.
It is available for all major operating systems, including:
