Agentic Editing
Personal, Pro, Business
Delegates coding tasks to an AI agent that edits files, navigates code, and runs tools while the user reviews and follows progress live.

Parallel Agents
Personal, Pro, Business
Runs multiple threads of an agent across several projects at once so a developer can stay in flow across tasks.
+
Edit Prediction
Personal, Pro, Business
Predicts the next edit using an open-weight model and applies it inline with a single keypress.

GPU-Accelerated Rendering
Personal, Pro, Business
Renders interface visuals directly on graphics hardware using a custom Rust framework to maintain high frame rates and minimal input latency.
+
Native Git Support
Personal, Pro, Business
Provides staging, committing, pulling, pushing, diff viewing, blame, and branch management inside the editor.

Debugger
Personal, Pro, Business
Supports step-through debugging across multiple programming languages via the Debug Adapter Protocol.

Real-Time Collaboration
Personal, Pro, Business
Lets multiple developers edit the same project together with shared cursors, chat, and screen sharing.
+
Remote Development
