Clide
A terminal-based IDE that wraps Claude Code CLI, putting AI-assisted development at the center of your workflow.
Why Clide?
Claude Code is powerful, but switching between your terminal, editor, and project tools breaks your flow. Clide brings everything into one interface:
- Claude stays visible — No more switching windows. Claude Code is always front and center.
- Context at a glance — File tree, git status, problems, and TODOs in dedicated panels.
- Panels appear when needed — Editor, diff viewer, and terminal stay hidden until you need them.
- Familiar keybindings — VSCode-inspired shortcuts that don't interfere with your input.
