I LOVE YOU COMMUNITY!

Roo Code hit 3 million installs over the last year. To be clear, that is installs, not 3 million active users, but it is still a wild number and something I am very proud of.

As announced, we are sunsetting the extension to go all-in on Roomote. The shutdown is happening tomorrow, May 15, 2026. The final Roo Code release should keep working, but it will not receive bug fixes, new features, or model updates from us after that.

This subreddit and the Roo Code Discord will also be shut down as part of this. We updated the repo, docs, and final release messaging so people are not left guessing where to go next.

Thank you everyone so much for the support. It has been a wild and exciting journey, and I am genuinely going to miss this community more than anything.

If you want to keep using a VS Code extension, the two places I would point people are ZooCode and Cline.

ZooCode

ZooCode is the community fork started by Roo Code users who want to keep the Roo-style workflow alive.

It is not run by Roo Code Inc. It is community-run. But I am glad to see people organizing around it, and if what you want is the closest continuation of Roo Code, this is the one to watch.

Cline

Cline is also an easy recommendation.

Roo Code originally started as a Cline fork, and we have had a good relationship with Saoud and the Cline team throughout. If you want an actively maintained extension with that lineage, Cline is a strong path.

If you had an unused Roo Code balance, we are refunding it. If you have billing questions, email billing@roocode.com.

Roo Code’s source code stays open, the final release should continue to work, and if what you want is an IDE extension, ZooCode and Cline are the places I’d look.
