Assessment

CLI tool: medium

Reasoning: A terminal pair-programming tool that sends repository context to whichever model provider the developer configures. Aider itself keeps no code, so the exposure is the provider behind the personal API key, which is often outside any company agreement.

Flags: Data terms depend on the configured provider · Personal API keys common · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.

Changelog

2026-09-16Documented. Analytics and hosting terms verified against the Aider documentation and privacy policy; model-side terms depend on the provider.
