Free extension
Runbox
Run the current file or a selected snippet in 40+ languages. A maintained, zero-telemetry alternative to Code Runner. Makes no network requests, ever.
Final testing — not yet on the Marketplace Free — no Pro tier levelbrook.runbox
Status
Built, tested and packaged as a .vsix. It is not published to the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX yet — the publisher account is the last step. There is nothing to install today.
Mail team@levelbrook.com and we will tell you when it ships.
Why it exists
It replaces a 41.7-million-install runner, dead 2.5 years, with telemetry on by default. It is free, it has no Pro tier, and it never will — it exists because the tool it replaces stopped being maintained, and because people who find it useful are how anyone hears about the rest of what we build.
No telemetry, no account, no network requests. The same anti-rug-pull pledge that covers the paid tools covers this one, and it is easier to keep: there is nothing here to paywall.
