Code editor with syntax highlighting and integrated terminal

Command palette with fuzzy file search and AI panel

Origin is a native desktop IDE built on Tauri 2 and React. It combines a full code editor, real terminal, and a deeply integrated AI panel into a single lightweight app. No subscriptions, no telemetry, no cloud lock-in. You bring your API keys; Origin does the rest.

The AI is not a sidebar afterthought. It has full agentic capabilities: it can read files, write code, run shell commands, and propose structured multi-step plans, all with your approval before anything touches disk.

• CodeMirror 6 with a fully custom theme driven by CSS variables
• Syntax highlighting for TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, Python, CSS, HTML, JSON, Markdown
• Find & replace (Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H), per-tab cursor memory, dirty indicators
• Inline AI diff view with Accept / Reject, powered by @codemirror/merge
• New file, open file, save / save-as, close, all wired through the menu bar

• 17 providers - Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, xAI, Cohere, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and more
• Bring Your Own Key - keys stored in the OS keychain, never sent anywhere else
• Agent mode - full agentic loop using Vercel AI SDK v6; up to 24 tool-use steps per run
  • Auto-execute: read_file, list_directory, grep, glob
  • Approval-gated: write_file, edit, bash_run
• Plan mode - AI explores your codebase with read-only tools, proposes a structured plan with steps, then executes on your approval
• Ask mode - plain chat with editor context; no tools
• Inline diff tab per AI file edit, review the change before it hits disk
• SEARCH/REPLACE block engine for precise, multi-region code edits
• Markdown rendering with per-code-block Apply and Copy buttons
• @ file mention and + multi-file attach
• Full chat session persistence via SQLite; session history; crash recovery

• Real PTY via portable-pty (Windows ConPTY)
• Multiple tabs, inline rename, persistent history across tab switches
• Theme sync, re-themes instantly when you switch IDE themes

• Persistent pill in the title bar that expands into an info card
• Current Task - set a task name, mark it complete, or clear it
• What Changed - live git status: files changed, commits ahead, recent log
• Memory - live system RAM usage
• AI Spend - token cost per model with a donut chart; reset anytime

• File status (M / A / D / U) with colored indicators
• Commit message + description form; Commit and Commit & Push
• Git history timeline with up to 100 commits, author, hash, and relative date

• Command palette (Ctrl+P) - fuzzy file search, @ file mode, % full-text search, commands
• File tree with lazy-loading, right-click context menu (rename, delete, create, reveal)
• Find in files with debounced search, grouped results, and click-to-jump
• Settings panel - API keys, system prompt editor, theme switcher (Ctrl+,)
• Multi-window support
