AI-powered developer toolchain built in Rust.
VibeCody is a monorepo that provides a full family of AI-assisted development surfaces:
- VibeCLI — terminal-first AI coding assistant with a rich TUI + REPL
- VibeCoder — AI-powered desktop code editor (Tauri + Monaco, 246 panels)
- VibeDesk — task-first, conversation-driven desktop companion (Tauri)
- VibeAIChat — dedicated desktop chat companion (Tauri)
- VibeMobile — Flutter companion for iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, Windows, Web
- VibeWatch — native Apple Watch (SwiftUI, watchOS 10+) and Wear OS (Compose, Wear OS 3+) clients
- Zero-config connectivity — mDNS LAN, Tailscale Funnel, ngrok auto-detect; devices race all reachable paths
All surfaces are backed by a shared set of Rust crates for AI providers, text editing, Git, LSP, and extensions.
