Paradev is now open source under the MIT license
We moved Paradev from the Elastic License 2.0 to MIT. You can now use and change it for anything, and run it on your own servers.
As of November 4, 2026, Paradev is open source under the MIT License. Before that it was under the Elastic License 2.0, which let you read the code but limited how you could use it.
Now you can use and change it for anything, including commercial work. The TypeScript SDK moved from Apache-2.0 to MIT too, so all of Paradev's own code has one license.
Run it on your own cloud
You can run your agents on a Linux server in your own cloud account. Your repos and agent sign-ins are stored on that server. Agents call their model providers with your own keys, and when you open the server from another device, its terminal traffic goes through our relay. See the Bring Your Own Cloud guide.
Or let our cloud keep them going while your laptop is closed. Either way, you can check on them from your phone.
What stays the same
Nothing changes for your account or your plan. Your agents still run on your own subscriptions and keys.

Frequently
asked questions
What changed?
The license. It was the Elastic License 2.0, which let you read the code but limited how you could use it. Now it is MIT, and so is the TypeScript SDK.
Can I use Paradev at work, fork it, or ship it inside my own product?
Yes. MIT lets you use and change the code for anything, including commercial work. Keep the license notice when you share copies.
Can I run Paradev on my own servers?
Yes. Run the Paradev host on an x64 or arm64 Linux server you own and open it from the desktop or phone app. The Bring Your Own Cloud docs have the steps.
Does anything change for paying customers?
No. Nothing changes for your account or your plan.
