Everything you love. Nothing you hate.
VSCode's power under the hood. Agent-first AI that actually helps. Docker, Git, and deploy in one click. Solo IDE is what your IDE should have been.
Try Solo IDE Free“Another AI coding tool?”
This one's different. Agent-first, not autocomplete-first. Agents handle full tasks, not just line completions.
“I've got my setup dialed in”
Cool. But remember how long that took? Your next machine won't. Neither will your teammate's.
“VSCode + extensions works fine”
Until it doesn't. Extension conflicts, config drift, “works on my machine.” You know the drill.
“I don't need training wheels”
Neither do we. Full customization available. We just removed the mandatory pain.
Not a fork. Not “inspired by.” The actual VSCode engine. Your extensions work. Your keybindings work. Your muscle memory works.
Not just autocomplete. Solo IDE's agents handle full tasks: scaffold a feature, debug an error, write tests, refactor a module. You direct, they execute.
Preview your app without alt-tabbing. Full Chromium with DevTools built in. Hot reload just works.
Multiple panes, split views, AI-assisted commands. Run anything. Use your shell, your aliases, your dotfiles.
“The first hour feels weird because nothing broke during setup.”
— Beta user, Senior Engineer
“I kept waiting for the config step. There isn't one.”
— Beta user, Tech Lead
“My intern was productive on day one. That never happens.”
— Beta user, Engineering Manager
“I use it for new projects now. Might migrate everything eventually.”
— Beta user, Full Stack Dev
The difference: defaults that work. Customize because you want to, not because you have to.
| Task | Your Current Setup | Solo IDE |
|---|---|---|
| New machine setup | Hours/days + dotfiles | Minutes |
| Add Docker to project | Install, write compose, debug networking | One click |
| Onboard new dev | "Read the README, good luck" | "Open Solo IDE" |
| Preview changes | Switch to browser, refresh | Inline, instant |
| Deploy | CI/CD pipeline, config, pray | One click |
| Debug production issue | SSH, logs, reproduce locally | Connect and debug in app |
| Update dependencies | Prayer-driven development | Agents handle conflicts |

Agents handle conflicts
If you can build it with VSCode, you can build it with Solo IDE. Faster.
Not just autocomplete
Autocomplete is table stakes. Solo IDE's agents handle multi-step tasks: implement features, fix bugs, write tests.
Context-aware
Agents understand your whole project, not just the current file. They know your patterns, your dependencies, your architecture.
You're the architect
Agents do implementation. You make decisions. They don't go rogue. You stay in control.
Multiple models
Use Claude, GPT, or your own API keys. Pick the model that works for your task.
Adjustable autonomy
Want agents to ask before acting? Done. Want them to just execute? That too. Your call.
