aidermacs

Why we included this project

For anyone who spends the day in Emacs but has been tempted by Cursor's AI editing, this package offers that same kind of assistance through Aider without asking you to switch editors. Aidermacs wraps Aider in a Magit-style transient menu, so starting a session and telling the model which files it may edit behave like the rest of Emacs instead of feeling bolted on. Ediff integration makes review practical: you can inspect the AI's changes before accepting them, and mark individual files read-only so the model does not touch everything. The backend choices are flexible, spanning Claude, GPT, OpenRouter, and local models, with extras like voice input and web fetching on the side. Existing Aider users on the command line get the same power inside their normal editing setup.
