Why a native IDE?

Because AI shouldn't be a sidebar — it should be the foundation.

Extensions bolt AI onto an editor designed before AI existed. KlaatDev is built from scratch with AI as a first-class citizen.

Unified workspace

Editor, terminal, AI and API tester share context. The AI sees what you see, edits where you edit, and runs commands in your terminal.

Zero-latency context

No extension-host overhead. The AI reads files through the same Electron IPC the editor uses — sub-millisecond context injection.

Local-first privacy

Your code stays on your machine. Session tokens in the OS keychain. No telemetry beyond what you opt into.

Six pillars

Everything a developer needs. Nothing else.

VS Code powered

Monaco editor

Full VS Code editing engine — syntax highlighting, minimap, bracket pairs, ligatures, multi-tab, and a pure-black theme tuned for long sessions.

Full PTY

Integrated terminal

True PTY terminal via node-pty and xterm.js. Multi-tab, true colour, full interactive support — vim, htop, docker, anything.

Context-aware

AI chat panel

Right-side assistant streaming from the Klaatu engine with automatic active-file context. Knows what you're editing, suggests what comes next.

Full file system

File explorer

Recursive file tree with right-click menus — create, rename, delete, reveal. Smart hidden-file filtering keeps noise out.

All HTTP methods

Built-in API tester

HTTP client for GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE and more — headers editor, body editor, response viewer. No Postman needed.

⌘P instant search

Command palette

VS Code-style ⌘P file search across open tabs and workspace files. Navigate your project at the speed of thought.

Cross-platform

Native on every desktop.

Built on Electron with native-quality performance. One codebase, three platforms, zero compromises.
