Gain complete control over your data, save costs, and enjoy a seamless coding experience without sacrificing privacy. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting, this tutorial offers the flexibility to scale and adapt according to your needs without the hefty $20 per month charge of Cursor. Optimize your workflow efficiently and effectively with these proven strategies.
