OSS BYOK agenting with Auto Free routing for hobby/scaffolding, optional Kilo Pass credits across IDE/CLI/Cloud, mobile supervision, and opt-in Kilo Memory so agents stop re-learning the repo each session.
Skip if
You want a native IDE fork UX like Cursor more than plugin/CLI flexibility, or you refuse any local project memory outside git.
Pros
Auto Free model router is the golden feature for pet projects, hobby builds, or scaffolding something serious without burning paid keys; open-source BYOK with transparency over prompts and context; automated migration path from Roo Code; 400+ models; official iOS and Android app to follow up on CLI/IDE sessions via /remote, start Cloud Agents, chat with KiloClaw, and monitor agents on the go; opt-in Kilo Memory keeps project-scoped session digests, environment facts, and corrections across CLI/TUI/VS Code sessions and worktrees.
Cons
Less integrated graphical experience than native editor forks like Cursor; mobile companion steers and supervises agents — not a full mobile IDE; Kilo Memory is still experimental (capture quality evolving; stored outside the repo, not git-shared).
