The biggest NativeCode release yet brings a completely redesigned workspace, Ollama and OpenAI-compatible backends, and a much stronger coding agent to macOS and Windows.
NativeCode 2.0 Beta is now available for both macOS and Windows. Choose your platform and start coding with your own AI models.
NativeCode 2.0 Beta · macOS
A new workspace for local AI coding.
NativeCode 2.0 pairs a redesigned VS Code-inspired workspace and Monaco with Ollama, LM Studio or any OpenAI-compatible server — in a macOS download that uses the system WebView instead of bundling Chromium.

Features
Rebuilt around your code and the conversation.
NativeCode 2.0 brings a minimalist VS Code-inspired workspace, a flexible model backend and a stronger agent that can carry real coding work from research to self-review.A much stronger coding agent
Plan mode, project memory, skills, pinned context, self-review, automatic context compaction, web access and guarded file and shell tools.
Ollama and OpenAI-compatible servers
Connect to Ollama, LM Studio or your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch backend or model without restarting the conversation.
Reasoning, vision and any model
Use every model your backend reports, stream reasoning separately, adjust thinking effort and attach screenshots directly to vision-capable models.

Download size
7.11 MB, because there is no Chromium inside.
NativeCode uses the WebView already built into your operating system — WKWebView on macOS, WebView2 on Windows. The interface is a web UI hosted in a thin native shell, so the app does not ship its own browser engine the way an Electron IDE does.| Application | Rendering engine | Download |
|---|---|---|
| NativeCode (macOS) | WKWebView — provided by macOS | 7.11 MB |
| NativeCode (Windows) | WebView2 — provided by Windows | 56.43 MB |
| A typical Electron-based IDE | Bundled Chromium, shipped inside the app | ~150 MB and up |
To be precise about what this is
The NativeCode interface is a web UI, not a hand-built native toolkit UI. What it does not do is carry its own copy of Chromium — it renders in the WebView your operating system already ships and updates. That is the whole reason the macOS build is a 7.11 MB download. The Windows installer is larger at 56.43 MB; see how to install NativeCode on Windows for what it contains.
