Your terminal, editor and git. One macOS app.
LudeCode is a terminal built for how development actually works now. Command blocks you can navigate, a source control panel beside the shell, a worktree terminal for every branch, and an editor in the same window. We build in it every day.

Version 2.0.1. Updates automatically.
The three tools you flip between all day, in one window.
Run commands, review the diff, commit, and edit the file that broke. Without changing apps.
Blocks, not a wall of text
Every prompt, command, output and exit code is a first class block. Jump between commands with Cmd and the arrow keys.
Git at your elbow
A source control panel beside the shell. Stage files, review side by side diffs, commit and push without leaving the terminal.
A terminal per branch
Open any branch in its own worktree terminal. No stashing, no juggling checkouts. Parallel work that stays parallel.
Editor included
A file tree and a Monaco editor, the same engine as VS Code, sit next to your shells for quick edits in place.
Shells that survive
Each shell runs in its own supervised process. Quit the app and your scrollback comes back above a fresh prompt on relaunch.
Updates itself
Signed and notarized by Apple, and quietly kept current so you stay on the latest build.
From download to first prompt in under a minute.

Built in Rust and TypeScript on Tauri, signed and notarized by Apple, and served straight from this site. LudeCode keeps itself up to date, so you only download once. Your shell config stays yours: it sources your own zshrc.
One of the tools we build for ourselves.
LudeCode is where we spend most of the working day, next to the other tools and live products we run. We build for clients, and we keep our own software running, which is the proof we can build yours.

Free to download, built for Apple Silicon, and made for the loop you already live in: run, diff, commit, edit.
