Canopy IDE - The IDE built for driving agents, not typing code

A modern IDE built for the agentic era. Launch your favourite agent CLI — Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Gemini — run your whole stack, with all the bells and whistles built-in. Agentic mesh allows agents to inter communicate, share context without you having to switch tabs. Manage multiple projects, run servers, annotate UI, do research, run tasks, keep notes, track issues, hibernate projects, multiplex tabs effortlessly. MIT-licensed and free, on Mac, Windows & Linux.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I shipped Canopy — something I've been quietly building on nights and weekends. It's an IDE, but made for how I actually work now, which is mostly telling agents what to do and then reviewing what they did. Every fork of VSCode/Electron is heavy and built around traditional engineering — but the agentic era changed how I build. My days became a mess of tabs: a different agent running each task, me trying to figure out which PR got pushed and which got left behind, then reviewing and merging. Every time I switched projects my whole mental context went with it. And I was reviewing all of it in a browser tab, nowhere near the actual code. My editor felt built for a version of me that types every line by hand — and that guy has mostly retired. So I built Canopy for the version that's here now: - Agents are first-class — launch Claude Code, Codex, Amp, Aider, Gemini, opencode or a plain shell, each in its own native tab, cd'd into your project. - One window, the whole stack — define your project by component, run every dev server natively, and see what's live at a glance. - Shared context — agents get a short summary of what the other agents touched, so you stop spinning up a third one just to ferry context. - Git without leaving — side-by-side diffs, staging, worktrees, and a "loose ends" panel so no commit an agent wrote quietly disappears. - Native to the core — Rust core, Tauri shell (no Electron), ~120MB idle. Local-first: no account, no telemetry, your keys never leave the machine. It runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. MIT licensed and free. If your agents are also scattered across ten terminals and you're a bit sick of it, take it for a spin. And if you end up liking it, a GitHub star genuinely makes my day.
