The IDE the AI era deserves
Flame exists for a new way of working: many projects in flight, agents doing real work alongside you, and the need to keep it all coherent.
The editor hasn't kept up with how we actually build. We run a dozen repos, jump between branches, spin up worktrees, and now hand whole tasks to AI agents. Yet most tools still assume one folder and one human, one thing at a time.
Flame started from a simple frustration: switching context kept costing us our place. Tabs lost, terminals gone, the mental model reset every time. So we built a workspace where many projects, branches, terminals, previews, and agents live together on one fast surface, and switching never means starting over.
We kept the editor experience you already trust and wrapped it in everything a modern build needs: git worktrees, a broadcast terminal, live previews, a dependency diagram, a real REST client, and an Agents Manager that treats AI work like work: created, scheduled, monitored, and reviewed before it lands.
And we did it local-first. Your code stays yours. Bring your own model: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or something running entirely on your laptop.
What we optimize for
A few non-negotiables that shape every decision in Flame.
Local-first
Your code lives on your machine. The workspace binds to loopback and works offline; AI is your choice, including fully local models.
Speed is a feature
Every interaction should feel instant. We obsess over startup, switching, and keeping the UI calm under heavy load.
Built for many
Real work spans many repos, branches, and worktrees. Flame is designed for that from the ground up, not just a single folder.
AI with control
Agents are powerful, so every action is scoped, permissioned, and reviewable. Autonomy never means surprise.
Calm by design
High-contrast, dark, and quiet. A serious tool gets out of the way so you can think.
Open to your stack
Your languages, your models, your tools. Extensible by design, never a walled garden.
