Flexible for Flox is an unofficial plugin that brings Flox to your IDE of choice. Flox offers reproducible, cross-platform dev environments and in the plugin you now can: manage packages visually, browse generations & roll back when something breaks, sync with FloxHub, edit your manifest with schema awareness, run services, and activate environments in the IDE terminal - one click. Cross-OS installer included: macOS, Linux, and WSL2 on Windows.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
If you've used Flox, you know the pitch: reproducible, cross-platform dev environments that finally end "works on my machine," powered by Nix but without making you learn it. The official Flox team ships a VS Code extension - but if you live in JetBrains IDEs, you've been stuck dropping into a terminal every time you wanted to check what's installed, switch generations, or sync with FloxHub.
Flexible for Flox fills that gap. It's an unofficial third-party plugin that brings Flox management into IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, RubyMine, CLion - anywhere the IntelliJ Platform runs.
What you get:
* Visual package management - browse, install, remove, no CLI required
* Generations view - see your environment's history, roll back when something breaks
* FloxHub sync - push and pull environments without leaving the IDE
* Manifest editing with awareness of the Flox schema
* One-click terminal activation in your project
* Services panel for managing long-running processes
* Cross-OS installer - macOS, Linux, and WSL2 on Windows
A quick note on "unofficial": this isn't built by the Flox team but we have shown it to them and they gave us some great feedback. We built it because we wanted it for our own workflow, and figured other JetBrains users would too. Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests all very welcome.
Install it from the JetBrains Marketplace: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/pl...
The plugin is paid but we do offer free versions to education users and open source projects.
