About Roo Code

Roo Code (formerly Roo Cline) was a popular open-source AI coding agent for VS Code that supported custom "modes" and "Boomerang Tasks" for handling complex development workflows. The project was officially shut down on May 15, 2026. Developers looking for a similar experience are encouraged to check out ZooCode, a community-led successor fork, or Cline, the original project Roo Code was based on.

What people are saying

The community was broadly disappointed by the sudden shutdown and pivot, though many users fondly remembered Roo Code as their introduction to AI agent development.

  • "Initially I used Continue, quickly tested Cline, but ended up switching to Roo Codes and never looked back. This is a bit of a problem. What other options are there that integrate well with VSCode...?" — @LirGames (April 2026)
  • "I, and probably many in the community, are disappointed in the way the project is being left … The moment [Roomote] is accessible to anyone, they will be able to copy anything that it does better than current offerings." — @FullstackSensei (April 2026)
  • "As I used Roo Code more, I kept getting pushed with their cloud offerings while I was looking to run local … I wish them the best though and I will fondly remember Roo as my first venture into agentic development." — @Blues520 (April 2026)
