Meet Tidewave IDE.

The agentic dev environment for

Phoenix and Rails

Develop, test, and review alongside your web app, in the browser. Works with your favorite coding agent and your web framework.

Introducing Tidewave IDE

Designed for Phoenix and Rails, with additional support for:

Features

Augment every step of your workflow

From spec to code review, you and the agent work in tandem.

Your agent sees what you see

Your agent works across your stack, from UI to the database, and you see every change as it happens. No more translating between what you're looking at and what your agent knows.

Point and click

Want to change something? Click it. Tidewave doesn't just read the DOM, it traces elements back to your source code, forwarding it all to your agent. Learn more

UI variants

Your coding agent can propose multiple versions of a page or UI component. Pick your favorite or request further changes, within your web app. Learn more

Git integration and pull request status

Swap branches, push/pull, and check pull request status directly from Tidewave. Reference pull request comments or fix CI by clicking one button. Learn more

Deep integration with your web framework

Give your coding agent new tools to access everything your app knows.
Get better results, less back-and-forth. We call this Runtime Intelligence.

Runtime introspection

Give your agents their own REPL to test methods, read logs, and explore APIs.

Access documentation

Pull docs for your exact library versions, not whatever a web search returns.

Query your database

Access your models and tables using your app's existing connection. No additional tools required.

Works with the agents you already use

You can also use ACP-compatible coding agents or use OpenCode to connect to 75+ different providers.

Tidewave enhances Claude Code, making it 2x more accurate and 45% faster on average for full-stack changes

If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

How is Tidewave IDE different from stock Tidewave?
Tidewave IDE is an additional product to Tidewave.

Tidewave itself includes the Tidewave Toolbar, which allows you to build visual prompts and copy them to your agent, and Tidewave Connect, which connects your coding agent to your web app, for testing and video recoding.

Tidewave IDE is a separate app that runs your favorite coding agent within your browser, alongside your web app, so you can inspect elements, test features, review code, and plan features within a single tool.

Tidewave IDE is currently bundled as part of your Tidewave subscription, but it may require an additional subscription in the future.
How is Tidewave IDE different from other coding agents?
Tidewave IDE differs from traditional coding agents by operating directly within your browser, maintaining shared context between you, the agent, and your app. Conventional coding agents require you to constantly describe UI states, copy error messages, and switch between tools, while Tidewave IDE can see your actual web pages, automatically map UI elements to their corresponding code, query your database, and test changes in real-time. This eliminates the tedious back-and-forth translation process and allows the agent to build and validate complete features without losing context, making development far more seamless and efficient.

We believe the future of coding agents will be domain-specific and deeply integrated to your stack, rather than generic horizontal solutions.
Which coding agents does the Tidewave IDE support?
We support Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot subscriptions, as well as any coding agent that implements ACP.
What is Tidewave IDE's data policy?
We log basic request metadata (timestamps, model used, token counts). Prompts and messages are not logged unless you explicitly opt-in. We don't receive, process, or store tool call results. Note the underlying coding agent may store data separately depending on your user agreement with them, that's outside of Tidewave's control.

See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Do you offer trial plans?
Yes! The Pro plan includes a free trial, no credit card required, with a limit of 20 user messages per month.
Do you offer enterprise plans?
We are working on enterprise plans and we would love your feedback on how to best shape them according to your needs. Please send us an email with your needs.
What are the security risks of running Tidewave IDE?
Please read our security guidelines , which includes common concerns and isolation techniques such as Docker support.

Note Tidewave IDE is a development tool and should not run in production.
