what is openIDE?

openIDE is a featherlight web-based IDE that runs right in your browser. Built for mobile-first workflows: code, run, manage projects, access a real terminal, and install extensions — no complex setup. Works perfectly on phones via Termux and on desktops alike.

how to use openIDE

extension rules & moderation

❌ Cancellation reasons: inappropriate name, misleading description, low‑quality icon or offensive content.
Only valid types: iframe and terminal — others get rejected automatically.
Using malicious, adult, or non‑iframe‑compatible URLs leads to immediate removal.
⚠️ Permanent ban for using openIDE internal routes in backend logic.
⚠️ Permanent ban for collecting or storing user credentials (IP, password, tokens).
⚠️ Permanent ban for changing extension version/code without submitting a proper update request.
Terminal extensions installing harmful packages, backdoors, or cryptominers → banned & removed.

why openIDE?

No cloud lock-in, no telemetry, no bloat. The entire IDE runs locally on your machine after a tiny npm install. Extensions are community-driven but strictly reviewed. Perfect for coding on the go, managing servers, or teaching programming on a tablet.
