A lot of developers are picking AI IDEs based on short trial windows, launch hype, or whatever they saw last on X. That is a bad way to choose a tool you might use every day.
The Problem
Most AI IDE trials are too short for a real evaluation.
You are not testing these tools in a vacuum. You are testing them while shipping code, context switching, and working through an actual project. By the time the trial ends, you still may not know if the tool fits your workflow.
Where Onyx Pro Fits
Onyx Pro is a local-first desktop utility built for re-evaluation.
It helps you reset trial-related state in supported AI IDEs so you can test them again against your actual projects and workflow, not just a rushed first impression.
Why Developers Use It
- Runs locally
- Keeps your code on your machine
- Uses a one-time payment model
- Includes a free trial for Onyx Pro itself
- Helps you compare tools more carefully before you commit
The Simple Pitch
No cloud workflow. No subscription. Just a direct way to make a more informed decision before paying for another AI IDE.
