Describe what you need — PunamIDE writes it, checks it, and protects your codebase at every step.
Mac & Linux builds in progress — join Discord for updates.
Create full project checkpoints before any AI edit or risky experiment. One-click restore from the sidebar panel. Works offline, zero cloud dependency. Export as portable zip backups. Independent of any AI conversation.
Built-in Tree-sitter WASM AST analysis. Scores every file for complexity, coupling, and maintainability. Cyclomatic complexity + coupling metrics per file. Circular dependency detection with visual mapping. Prioritized refactor queue ranked by engineering impact.
Define project layers visually (database, services, UI, infrastructure). Draw allowed dependency arrows between them. Any import that crosses an unapproved boundary gets flagged instantly. Works with Clean, Hexagonal, Layered, MVC architectures.
TF-IDF context scoring feeds the most relevant files into every prompt. Callers, callees, type definitions injected automatically. 8 AI providers: Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral. Fully local via Ollama.
Built for safety and architectural integrity.

Join the DiscordPunamIDE is an AI-powered desktop IDE for Windows that includes native project snapshots. Create a checkpoint before any AI edit, refactor, or experiment. Restore your workspace when AI breaks your code — no Git gymnastics required.
Unlike other AI coding tools, PunamIDE's agent detects LSP errors it introduces and auto-corrects them in up to 3 passes. If self-repair fails, it rolls back automatically. You get working code, not broken builds.
PunamIDE automatically feeds callers, callees, type definitions, and semantically similar code into every AI prompt. The context engine uses TF-IDF scoring, AST analysis, call graphs, and embedding search to select the most relevant files.
Analyze cyclomatic complexity, coupling metrics, circular dependencies, and dead code using Tree-sitter WASM AST analysis. PunamIDE surfaces refactor candidates and prioritizes engineering work with a built-in technical debt dashboard.
Every AI-generated code change is shown as a red/green inline diff before it touches your code. Accept or reject individual hunks. Navigate with Tab/Shift+Tab. The file stays locked until you decide — no surprise overwrites.
Use Google Gemini (free), Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, or Ollama for fully local AI. PunamIDE's adaptive router selects the best model per task based on context size, cost, speed, and coding strength.
When an AI agent edits dozens of files, builds can fail even when individual changes look reasonable. PunamIDE, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed all support agentic coding — but they differ in how they handle recovery. PunamIDE provides native project-level snapshots that are independent of any AI conversation, exportable as zip backups, and restorable from a dedicated panel. See the full comparison →
