justify\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCline is an open-source agent runtime for software development, published under the \u003cb\u003eApache 2.0\u003c\/b\u003e licence with more than 250 contributors and roughly 66,000 GitHub stars. The same runtime is exposed through three surfaces: an editor extension, a terminal CLI installed with a single npm command on macOS, Windows and Linux, and a TypeScript SDK split into five packages that requires Node.js 22 or later. On the editor side it ships for VS Code, where the site reports over 4.5 million installs, for JetBrains IDEs in early access, and for Cursor and Windsurf through the same marketplace listing. Across all platforms Cline claims more than 8 million installs and a 4.1 out of 5 rating from 307 VS Code Marketplace reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts signature is the split between \u003cb\u003ePlan\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eAct\u003c\/b\u003e. In Plan mode you settle the approach with the agent; in Act mode it carries the plan out, asking approval before each file write or shell command unless auto-approve is switched on. Every tool call becomes a checkpoint, so any change can be rolled back. Conventions are taught to the agent through a .clinerules file committed with the repository, through global custom instructions, and through Skills and Hooks that bundle reusable expertise or gate a tool call with a script.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second principle is model neutrality. Cline connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex, Azure OpenAI, Groq, Cerebras, Vercel AI Gateway, DeepSeek, or to Ollama and LM Studio running on your own hardware, and to any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. You bring your own key, your own endpoint or your own weights. ClinePass, a separate subscription, bundles access to open-weight models such as GLM, Kimi, DeepSeek, MiniMax, MiMo and Qwen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the editor, a Kanban board launched from the CLI runs several agents at once, each in its own git worktree, with dependency chains, inline diff review and comments that go straight back to the agent. Cron schedules, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Chat, WhatsApp and Linear connectors, agent teams with a shared mailbox and headless CI runs complete the picture. Enterprise plans add SSO, OIDC, SCIM, role-based access control, audit logs, centralised billing and VPC, on-premise or air-gapped deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:14px;margin-bottom:12px;color:var(--gv3-brand-ink);text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.08em\"\u003eWhat

What stands in its place is a US-oriented notice: the terms cite California Civil Code section 1789.3, the governing law is Delaware, and a cookie consent manager stores choices for twelve months across necessary, analytics, marketing and preference categories. Privacy requests go to a single address, support@cline.bot, with no documented access, portability or erasure procedure.

Section 3.4 adds that Cline claims no ownership over it. In exchange, section 3.2 grants Cline a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and sublicensable licence to host, cache, copy, process and transmit that content in order to run the service, to improve it, and to comply with the law. The improvement clause is perpetual and irrevocable for de-identified or aggregated data, and it does not apply while a per-seat subscription is active.

Two caveats appear in section 3.4: identical output may be generated for other users, and you carry the responsibility of checking accuracy, with human review explicitly recommended. Section 3.3 makes you warrant that you hold the rights to whatever you feed the agent, that you upload no personal data belonging to children under 13, and that the content is lawful. Section 3.5 warns that when you use keys supplied by Cline, model providers may train on your content unless you opt out with them directly.

Neither the privacy notice nor the terms give a duration for account data, user content or logs, and there is no dedicated retention section. What is documented is narrower. Cookie consent choices are stored for twelve months and then have to be renewed. Telemetry can be disabled at any time in the extension settings, after which the terms state that no telemetry data is transmitted to or retained by Cline; if you use your own keys and have no account, no user content is collected with it at all. De-identified or aggregated data is covered by a perpetual and irrevocable licence. Payment details are held by Stripe rather than Cline.

When you use keys supplied by Cline, content is transmitted to third-party model providers and falls under their policies. Enterprise customers can deploy in a VPC, on premises or air-gapped, and run inference on Amazon Bedrock, GCP Vertex, Azure OpenAI, an internal provider or local hardware. Payments are handled by Stripe and analytics by Google Analytics. The domain resolves to a United States anycast node operated by Amazon, which indicates a delivery point rather than a storage location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block watch\" id=\"watch\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eWatch-outs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThings to keep in mind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eRisks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Cline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"brand-list\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);display:grid;gap:12px 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto-approve lets the agent write files and run shell commands unattended, including destructive ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInference is uncapped: a long session on a large model can run up a bill with no warning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe terms explicitly warn that output may be inaccurate and require you to review it yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentical output may be generated for other users, which matters for originality and for rights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith Cline-supplied keys your code reaches third-party model providers, who may train on it unless you opt out with them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalling an unknown MCP server hands it access to your tools, databases and APIs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelegating code reading and refactoring can quietly erode your own understanding of the codebase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block\" id=\"setup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eSetup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Integrations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:15px;margin-bottom:10px\"\u003eTechnical difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eLow for anyone already writing code. The extension installs from the VS Code Marketplace in three clicks, the terminal version needs a single global npm command, and the only real step after that is pasting an API key or subscribing for managed access. The SDK asks a little more: Node.js 22 or later and a few lines of TypeScript. Deeper configuration is optional and incremental, from a .clinerules file to MCP servers, policy hooks and parallel git worktrees. The genuine barrier is conceptual rather than technical: you need an editor or a terminal and some familiarity with model providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:15px;margin:14px 0

That single decision explains most of the product. It is why the tool connects to every major provider and to local weights, why the terms can promise that your code never reaches Cline when you bring your own keys, and why security teams in regulated organisations have been able to adopt it at all. The engineering follows: one runtime behind an editor extension, a terminal CLI and an SDK, a Plan and Act split that keeps a human in the loop, checkpoints on every step, and a real extension surface through MCP servers, plugins and policy hooks. The traction is not hypothetical either, with more than 8 million installs, roughly 66,000 GitHub stars, USD 32 million raised and adoption reported at Samsung, SAP and Salesforce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservations sit elsewhere, and they are worth weighing. Legal transparency is thin for a company at this scale: no postal address, no legal notice, no about page, not a single mention of the GDPR, no data processing agreement and no published security certification. Buyers in Europe or in procurement-heavy organisations will have to ask for all of that directly. Cost is the other open question, since inference is uncapped by design and budget discipline is left to the team. And the audience is unambiguously technical: you need an editor or a terminal, comfort with API keys, and the judgement to review what an agent writes. For developers who accept those terms, Cline is one of the most controllable coding agents available; for anyone who needs a turnkey, contractually documented vendor, the gaps are real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cta-row\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/cline.bot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M15 3h6v6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 14 21 3\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M18 13v6a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V8a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Visit Cline\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cline Bot Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58112504234315,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/0905\/7099\/files\/official-cline-by-guidaio_05704514-03be-433e-8042-0b19826aaf46.png?v=1786537003","url":"https:\/\/guidaio.com\/products\/cline","provider":"Guidaio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
