Creytix IDE overview

Browse, edit, and ship code next to an AI agent panel — the workspace Creytix Dev's tools actually run in.

AI

Preview — early access. The Creytix IDE is where Creytix Dev's model router, vault, and review gate live in practice — here's how to actually use it.

Overview

The Creytix IDE is the workspace inside the Control Panel (/app/ide) where you browse a workspace's files, edit them in a real code editor, and work alongside an AI agent panel — without leaving the browser. It's the concrete surface behind the concepts covered in Creytix Dev: the model tiers, the BYOK vault, and the Review Gate all run here.

How it works

A file tree on the left scopes everything to your current workspace root. The center pane is a Monaco-based editor (the same editor VS Code uses) with a tab strip across the top — your open files plus persistent surface tabs for Browser, Routines, Secrets, Models, Git, Chats, and Terminal. An AI agent panel on the right reads your open tabs as context and proposes changes as file diffs; nothing is written to disk until you review and apply it.

The IDE runs in your browser today. An early-access desktop app wraps the same app in a native window — see Install the desktop app — and can run its AI panel off a Claude Code CLI already logged in on your machine instead of an API key.

Steps

  1. •

    Open the IDE

    Open Creytix IDE from the Control Panel. If more than one workspace root is available, you'll be asked which one to open.

  2. •

    Browse or open a file

    Use the file tree or the search box to open a file into the editor.

  3. •

    Talk to the agent

    Toggle "AI editor" in the header, pick a model (or leave it on auto), and describe what you want changed. See Using the AI agent panel.

  4. •

    Review before it lands

    The agent proposes file diffs — you review and apply them; it never writes directly.

  5. •

    Optional: go desktop

    Install the early-access desktop app for a screenshot-protected window and the local-Claude brain option.

Capabilities

  • One workspace, one editor — a Monaco editor with real syntax highlighting, Cmd/Ctrl+S save, and real-time collaboration per open file.
  • Seven tabbed surfaces — Browser, Routines, Secrets, Models, Git, Chats, and Terminal, alongside your open file tabs.
  • An agent panel that proposes, never overwrites — every change is a reviewable diff.
  • A multi-provider model router — Anthropic's own ladder plus BYOK and free local models. See Using the AI agent panel.
  • An early-access desktop shell — real screenshot/recording protection and a no-API-key local brain option.

Limits & honest scope

The Creytix IDE is preview / early access, not a finished, GA product.

  • The embedded terminal is a command-runner, not a full PTY — no vim, htop, or other interactive programs yet.
  • The desktop app is unsigned today; macOS Gatekeeper needs a manual bypass on first launch. See Install the desktop app.
  • Real-time collaboration depends on a local collab server; if it's unreachable the editor falls back to solo mode rather than failing.
