OpenVibe: An Open-Source AI Coding IDE That Works With Any Model

openvibe is an open-source desktop IDE with a built-in AI coding agent. The agent has direct access to your file system, terminal, and web search, so you can describe a task and it executes the full workflow — reading code, writing new files, editing existing ones, running commands.

Unlike Cursor or Claude Code, openvibe doesn't lock you to a single AI provider. It works with any OpenAI-compatible API: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and local models via Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM. Switch providers in two clicks. No subscription, no account, no telemetry.

Core capabilities:

  • Agentic AI — autonomous file operations, command execution, web search
  • MCP support — connect external tools (GitHub, databases, browsers) via Model Context Protocol
  • Project-specific rules — drop a .vibe/rules.md in your project to teach the AI your conventions; it reads them at session start and follows them strictly
  • Real-time Monaco editor — see AI code changes live as they happen
  • Integrated PowerShell/bash terminal with multiple tabs
  • Multi-project workspace with isolated chat history per project
  • Project templates for React, Next.js, Express, Flask, Electron, Telegram Bot, Vue
  • Project snapshots — one-click zip backup
  • Markdown and LaTeX rendering with diff view for AI edits
  • Works fully offline with local models
