What is OrinIDE?

OrinIDE is a fully-featured, AI-augmented code editor that runs entirely in your browser — backed by a lightweight local Node.js server. There's no cloud account, no IDE subscription, and no upload of your code anywhere. Just run a single npx command, open localhost:3000, and you have a full coding environment with a real terminal, file system, multi-model AI chat, diff viewer, and much more.

Built by Nandan Das — runs on desktop, laptop, and even Android via Termux.
