The AI IDE witha Memory
Build visually. Code intelligently. Remember forever.
Free, open-source desktop IDE that solves three problems other IDEs don't: your AI forgets everything, design and code are separate, limited automation.
Three Problems, One Solution
Nexus Forge solves what frustrates developers most about modern IDEs
Problem 1: Your AI Forgets Everything
Other IDEs: AI assistants forget when you close the window. Every session starts from scratch.
Nexus Forge: Persistent GraphRAG memory system. Your AI remembers architectural decisions from months ago, coding patterns from last year, and why you made specific choices.
Problem 2: Design in One Tool, Code in Another
Other IDEs: Design in Figma/Sketch, then manually recreate in code. Constant context switching.
Nexus Forge: Integrated visual canvas with bidirectional sync (Coming v0.2.0 Q1 2026). Design components → generate code → edit code → see design update automatically.
Problem 3: Limited Automation & Customization
Other IDEs: Basic pre-commit hooks and rigid extension APIs.
Nexus Forge: Event-driven hooks (session-start, file-save, terminal-command), MCP-native server management, skill extensions from multiple sources, full process lifecycle control.
Core IDE (Always Free)
Everything you need for professional development—no payment, no trial, yours forever
Professional Code Editor
Monaco Editor (VS Code engine) with 20+ languages, IntelliSense, code folding, multi-cursor editing, and find/replace with regex support.
Integrated Terminal
Full xterm.js terminal emulator with multiple instances, shell integration (bash, zsh, PowerShell, fish), and split terminals.
Git Integration
Visual diff viewer, stage/unstage changes, commit editor, push/pull/fetch, branch management, and conflict resolution.
Advanced Automation Hooks
Event-driven workflows: session-start, file-save, pre-commit, terminal-command. Run custom scripts with regex matchers. Far beyond typical pre-commit hooks.
MCP Server Management
Native server spawning (STDIO, HTTP, SSE), process lifecycle control, auto-start configuration, and automatic tool discovery.
Skill Extensions
Install from Git, NPM, local paths, or URLs. Automatic dependency management, scope control, usage tracking, and marketplace browser.
Visual Design Canvas (Coming v0.2.0 - Q1 2026)
Drag-and-drop UI builder with component library (React, Vue, Svelte). Design-to-code generation with real-time preview and bidirectional sync.
