An editor that feels familiar
Monaco editing, multi-file tabs, split views, breadcrumbs and an explorer keep your project easy to navigate. Themes, icon themes, profiles and keyboard shortcuts let you make the workspace your own.
Product capabilities
Your development tools. One workspace.
OpenMind Studio brings editing, execution, portable tooling and local services into a Windows desktop IDE built with Rust, Tauri and Monaco.
OpenMind StudioYour workspaceBuilt for daily work
From the first file to a complete project.
Capabilities vary with the application release, selected workloads and configured language tools.
A terminal with your tools
Run project commands with OpenMind-managed tools available in each terminal session. Runtime paths are applied to the process without changing the machine’s global PATH.
Install the workloads you need
Download, detect and manage app-local runtimes through Runtime Manager. Start with the base editor, then add interpreters, package managers and language tools for your projects.
Run code from the workspace
Launch supported files and projects with the selected interpreter or compiler. Run Code works with runtime detection, tasks and terminals to resolve the tools your project needs.
Language-aware editing
Use diagnostics, symbols and navigation where the configured language server supports them. Format Document and Format on Save use available project or app-managed formatters.
A local PHP and database stack
Build with PHP, Composer, MariaDB and phpMyAdmin. Manage local services and ports, use Laravel helpers, and reveal or copy database credentials when needed.
Preview more than source code
Inspect images, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, Markdown and HTML inside the workspace. Read-only previews and clear binary-file fallbacks help you inspect files safely.
Search and return to your work
Workspace search and project detection help you navigate mixed-language projects. Recent files, folders and session restoration make it easier to pick up where you left off.
Source control close to your code
Detect repositories and use the Source Control view or terminal Git workflows. OpenMind-managed Git is preferred when available, so a global Git installation is not required.
Extend your workspace
Install local VSIX packages and manage supported commands, snippets, themes, views and settings. Compatibility depends on the extension’s APIs; full VS Code extension parity is still in development.
AI when you choose it
Configure optional Claude, OpenAI-compatible, Gemini or local compatible providers. The editor works without AI, and online requests depend on the provider you enable.
Local-first development
App-local tools, masked database passwords, encrypted API-key storage and guarded extension permissions support a practical local workflow. Package checksums and signed updater artifacts are verified where supported.
Keep installed tools available
Use installed runtimes and cached packages when offline. New package downloads, remote Git operations and cloud AI still need access to their external services.
Resilient package downloads
Application-managed downloads support progress, cancellation, resume, proxy-aware requests and integrity checks. Access remains subject to the network policies of your university or workplace.
Designed for shared Windows PCs
Keep projects and tools together on personal, lab or office machines. Choose an official portable package when available, or a user-space EXE installation where policy permits.
