Zodex

Zodex is a lightweight AI-powered development environment built with Rust and Tauri v2 that combines an AI chat, native terminal, and Git integration while using a fraction of the resources of traditional IDEs — just 42.7 MB idle RAM and 2.3% peak CPU. It supports 8+ AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Moonshot, LM Studio, and Ollama, letting developers bring their own API keys with zero markup. Zodex features design generation that transforms ideas into UI designs with visual variants and production-ready code, an interactive diff panel with Git Worktrees for multi-branch workflows, workspace checkpoints for full-state rollbacks of files, conversation history, and execution plans, and agent safety controls with structured outputs, pause-and-resume capabilities, and infinite loop prevention. Built as a local-first application for macOS, Zodex delivers instant startup and native performance.
