Use DevCapsule
On this page
DevCapsule gives you a real IDE and a coding agent inside a capsule: a container that shares your project folder, keeps its own persistent state, and touches nothing else on your computer unless you say so. These pages describe the version named in this page's address; the switcher at the top lists the others.
Start in one of three places
| You want to | Read |
|---|---|
| See it work in a quarter of an hour, with no account | Your first session |
| Bring a project you already have | An existing repository |
| Put a coding agent to work at full speed, safely | Choose an agent |
Everything else, by the question you have
| Question | Section |
|---|---|
| How quickly can I do something useful? | Getting started: install, first session, stop and come back |
| How do I bring my project here? | Your project: existing repositories, new projects, what a project declares |
| How do I get effective help from an AI? | Working with AI: agents, sign-in and defaults, instructions, models |
| Can I do my normal work? | Everyday development: IDEs, terminals, Git, running and debugging, previews |
| How do I make the workspace mine? | Configuration: inspect, project versus personal, extra tools, IDE preferences |
| What can the capsule and its agents touch? | Containment: the boundary, granting and withdrawing access |
| Can I leave and come back? | Sessions: start, stop, reconnect, what persists |
| Can someone else pick up the work? | Collaboration: people and agents on one repository |
| How do I stay current without breaking things? | Updates: supported versions, launcher and component updates |
| When something goes wrong? | Troubleshooting |
| Does it run on my machine? | Platforms: Linux, Windows via WSL2, macOS |
| What exactly does this command do? | Reference |
Pages marked coming soon exist so you can see the shape of the documentation; their content follows in later releases.
