Best AI IDEs in the UK - Page 2

Qoder is an agentic coding platform engineered for real software development, designed to go far beyond typical code completion by combining enhanced context engineering with intelligent AI agents that deeply understand your project. It allows developers to delegate complex, asynchronous tasks using its Quest Mode, where agents work autonomously and return finished results, and to extend capabilities through Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations with external tools and services. Qoder’s Memory system preserves coding style, project-specific guidance, and reusable context to ensure consistent, project-aware outputs over time. Developers can also interact via chat for guidance or code suggestions, maintain a Repo Wiki for knowledge consolidation, and control behavior through Rules to keep AI-generated work safe and guided. This blend of context-aware automation, agent delegation, and customizable AI behavior empowers teams to think deeper, code smarter, and build better.

Chad IDE presents a modern, AI-powered integrated development environment designed to streamline coding by minimizing downtime during AI inference waits and seamlessly blending productivity with light-entertainment features. It integrates directly with agents like Claude Code for auto-completion, smart code generation, and background processing, while offering built-in distractions (games, social feeds, casual browsing) during the 1–5 minute gaps typical of prompt-based workflows, so developers don’t lose context by switching to external apps. With features such as in-IDE gaming, social-media widgets, background processing of tasks, and unified code-/agent-logic streams, it offers to reclaim lost productivity by reducing context-switching fatigue and keeping the author engaged. It also supports extensive customization, background agent execution, fast tab completions, augmented debugging workflows, and is positioned for both hobby developers and professionals.

Eclipse Theia is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud & Desktop IDEs with state-of-the-art web technologies. Not sure whether you need a web or desktop version or both? With Theia you can develop one IDE and run it in browsers or native desktop application from a single source. The Theia project is hosted at the Eclipse Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation, and is developed by a diverse community. Unlike other "open-source" projects, projects hosted at an Open-Source Foundation are protected against single-vendor decisions against the interest of the diverse community. Theia is designed in a modular way to allow extenders and adopters customizing and extending every aspect of it. Composing a custom IDE-like product is as easy as listing all needed extensions in a package.json file. Adding new functionality by implementing your own extensions is easy, too and provides all the flexibility you need.

Who wouldn’t like to code at the speed of thought while the IDE does all the mundane development tasks for them? But is that really possible for a tricky language like C++, what with its modern standards and heavily templated libraries? Why, yes, yes it is! See it to believe it. Generate tons of boilerplate code instantly. Override and implement functions with simple shortcuts. Generate constructors and destructors, getters and setters, and equality, relational, and stream output operators. Wrap a block of code with a statement, or generate a declaration from a usage. Create custom live templates to reuse typical code blocks across your code base to save time and maintain a consistent style. Rename symbols; inline a function, variable, or macro; move members through the hierarchy; change function signatures; and extract functions, variables, parameters, or a typedef.

Project Jupyter exists to develop open-source software, open-standards, and services for interactive computing across dozens of programming languages. JupyterLab is a web-based interactive development environment for Jupyter notebooks, code, and data. JupyterLab is flexible, configure and arrange the user interface to support a wide range of workflows in data science, scientific computing, and machine learning. JupyterLab is extensible and modular, write plugins that add new components and integrate with existing ones. The Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and narrative text. Uses include, data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and much more. Jupyter supports over 40 programming languages, including Python, R, Julia, and Scala.

Built from scratch, based on 20 years of experience developing IDEs. JetBrains Fleet uses the IntelliJ code-processing engine, with a distributed IDE architecture and a reimagined UI. We built Fleet to be a fast and lightweight text editor for when you need to quickly browse and edit your code. It starts up in an instant so you can begin working immediately, and it can easily transform into an IDE, with the IntelliJ code-processing engine running separately from the editor itself. Fleet inherits the things that developers love the most from IntelliJ-based IDEs – project and context aware code completion, navigation to definitions and usages, on-the-fly code quality checks, and quick-fixes. Fleet’s architecture is designed to support a range of configurations and workflows. You can simply run Fleet just on your machine, or move some of the processes elsewhere – for example by locating the code processing in the cloud.

Switch between command and editor modes with a single keystroke. Navigate over cells with arrow keys. Use all of the standard Jupyter shortcuts. Enjoy fully interactive outputs – right under the cell. When editing code cells, enjoy smart code completion, on-the-fly error checking and quick-fixes, easy navigation, and much more. Work with local Jupyter notebooks or connect easily to remote Jupyter, JupyterHub, or JupyterLab servers right from the IDE. Run Python scripts or arbitrary expressions interactively in a Python Console. See the outputs and the state of variables in real-time. Split Python scripts into code cells with the #%% separator and run them individually as you would in a Jupyter notebook. Browse DataFrames and visualizations right in place via interactive controls. All popular Python scientific libraries are supported, including Plotly, Bokeh, Altair, ipywidgets, and others.

Bind AI is an advanced AI-powered coding assistant platform that supports over 15 AI models, including Claude 4 Sonnet, GPT 4.1, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. It enables users to generate, edit, and execute code across a wide range of programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, and more within a built-in IDE. Bind AI can help create landing pages, backend scripts, SQL queries, and automate repetitive coding tasks. The platform integrates seamlessly with GitHub and Google Drive, allowing code synchronization and collaborative development. Users can preview HTML webpages and run code snippets directly in the AI-powered editor. Bind AI offers a free 3-day trial for new users to experience its capabilities.

Kisuke is an app that transforms your iPhone into a powerful development environment. SSH to remote hosts, run Claude Code, edit files, browse the file system, manage processes, and more, all from your device.

Agentforce Vibes introduces vibe coding, a generative AI–powered approach that lets developers convert natural language instructions into production-ready Salesforce applications with enterprise-grade security, governance, and infrastructure. Unlike simpler vibe coding tools aimed at prototyping, Agentforce Vibes supports the full development lifecycle, ideation, building, testing, deployment, and observability, while integrating with Salesforce’s platform and trust layers. It functions as an AI-powered IDE (usable within VS Code or any VS Code-compatible environment) that understands your Salesforce schema and metadata, enabling features such as agentic code generation (Apex, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), intelligent rule enforcement, test case generation, debugging, rollbacks, and natural language DevOps. It supports multiple language models, is extensible via Model Context Protocol (MCP) with over 20 built-in tools, and allows reuse of existing code.
