At a glance
An open-source Electron desktop IDE that combines a full Chromium browser, multi-provider and local models, managed project context, granular diff review, and user-orchestrated parallel agent sessions.
Good choice if
- Vibe coders who want the browser, DOM context, app preview, and code changes in one desktop workspace
- Developers running independent agent sessions in parallel, including isolated Git worktrees
- Teams that want cloud subscriptions, direct API providers, or local inference behind the same visual workflow
Check before choosing
- Connected workspaces and shell commands use the host filesystem with the signed-in user's permissions; Git worktrees and the restricted JavaScript worker are not an OS or container security sandbox
- The shipped desktop app defaults to asking before tool calls and offers smart or always-allow modes, but its private smoke-test CLI forces always-allow and is not a supported public headless interface
- Parallel work means separate top-level agent sessions that the user coordinates; the reviewed product registers no user-facing child-agent delegation tool even though the agent-core package contains generic child-agent primitives
See 3 more considerations
- No shipped MCP integration was found in the product docs, dependencies, or tool registry; it appears only as a future specification item
- The advertised 87.6% average cache-hit rate has no published dataset, model mix, version pin, or reproducible method, and no independent Stagewise harness benchmark or direct scientific evaluation was found
- The repository contains engineering tests but only a copywriting-skill evaluation asset; CONTRIBUTING says external code pull requests are not accepted even though the website invites contributions
