Agentic Coding Environment
Build software with AI, whether or not you write code.
ACE is a desktop coding environment for developers and for people who have never written code. Edit, run and ship with the AI you already use, with every change reviewable and undoable.
macOS · Windows · Linux
Works with the AI you already use

Two ways to work
One project. Two modes. Switch anytime.
For developers
Code
- VS Code-grade editor with tabs, splits and search
- Command palette, terminal and full git
- Agent side panel, inline edits and plan mode
For everyone else
Build with AI
- Describe what you want in plain language
- Live preview and friendly change cards
- “Save a version” and “go back” instead of git jargon
Agentic, and in your control
Powerful AI that asks before it acts.
Git, built in
Stage, commit, branch, push and resolve conflicts without leaving the editor. Beginners get plain “save a version” and “go back”.
Review every change
The agent proposes edits as a diff. Accept or reject per file or per hunk, or let trusted edits apply automatically.
Undo anything
ACE takes a checkpoint before each AI turn, so you can rewind files and conversation together. Your own git history stays untouched.
Connect MCP servers
Plug in local and remote Model Context Protocol servers. Every tool call goes through the same approval rules.
Local and on-prem models
Point ACE at Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or any OpenAI-compatible server, with proxies and custom certificates.
Your keys stay with you
API keys live in your OS keychain. Prompts and code go straight to the model you chose, never through ACE Cloud.
Everything in ACE for $50 a month.
One plan. Start with a free trial, no card required. Cancel anytime.
Can I use my ChatGPT or Claude subscription?
Yes. ACE runs the official Claude Code and Codex command-line agents on your machine, and they sign in with your own subscription. ACE never sees or stores those logins.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Guided mode lets you describe what you want, watch it being built, preview it and save versions in plain language. Switch to the full editor whenever you are curious.
Does ACE include AI usage?
ACE does not resell AI. You bring a subscription, an API key or a local model, so you keep control of cost and data.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS 12 or later, Windows 10 21H2 or Windows 11, and Linux with glibc 2.31 and WebKitGTK 4.1.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Manage or cancel your subscription from your account. If it lapses, you can still open your projects; AI features pause until you resubscribe.
