Memdoor
Last tested:
Memdoor is lightweight open-source coding and automation agent in one CLI binary for macOS, Linux and Windows. Run it locally or over SSH, headless from scripts, CI or cron, with multi-step YAML workflows, approval gates and a decision model that trims token use. Bring your own key or a local model (category: Coding Agents (CLI & Cloud)). VibeToolRank agent test score: 9.1/10 (tested 2026-11-04, 3 runs, CLI, BYOK), T-6 of 15 tested Coding Agents (CLI & Cloud) tools. Pricing: Free and open source (Apache 2.0): the agent, the decision model and workflows. Pro is $10/month for phone remote control and workflow state kept on memdoor.ai. Every model call runs on your own key. Free tier: Yes: the CLI, decision model and workflows are free; bring your own model key (for example OpenRouter) or run a local model with memdoor connect local. No account needed.

Agent test verdict
Edition tested Memdoor CLI v1.788.0 with OpenRouter free model cohere/north-mini-code:free (BYOK, $0). Results may differ for the hosted product.
Tested 2026-11-04 · 3 runs · rubric v0.1 (provisional thresholds). Memdoor fixed our seeded cart discount bug in 3 of 3 headless runs (35–47s each) with a free OpenRouter model, never touched the test file, and printed its own test receipt. Cost $0. Overall 9.1 (outcome 10, speed 8, cost 10, DX 6, reliability 10). DX lost points because the default free-model auto-pick hit an OpenRouter 403 and pinning a model needed environment variables.

Pros, cons and who it's for
Pros
- Fixed the seeded bug in 3/3 runs with a free model
- Single binary, no account, clean --json output for scripts and CI
- Ends each run with a receipt showing the tests it ran before and after
- Did not modify the test file in any run
Cons
- Default free-model auto-pick failed with an OpenRouter 403 in our test
- Pinning a specific model needed AI_GATEWAY_* environment variables
