We're excited to introduce Levitate IDE – a streamlined, AI-native development environment designed for modern developers.

Levitate IDE

Levitate bridges the gap between traditional IDEs and AI coding assistants, providing intelligent assistance without getting in your way.

Reimagine Your Development Workflow​

Levitate is built with a focus on simplicity and productivity, combining the power of local LLMs with a clean, distraction-free interface to help you write better code, faster. Our goal is to create an IDE that truly understands your projects at a semantic level.

Key Features​

  • AI-Powered Code Intelligence - Context-aware completions and suggestions that understand your codebase
  • Semantic Code Search - Find what you're looking for using natural language queries
  • Integrated Terminal - Seamless workflow with built-in terminal support
  • Git Integration - Visualize changes and manage your repositories with ease
  • LSP Support - First-class language support for TypeScript, Python, SQL and more
  • Minimalist UI - Clean design focused on reducing cognitive load

Technology​

Under the hood, Levitate is powered by:

  • Electron for cross-platform desktop application
  • React and TypeScript for the frontend
  • Monaco Editor for code editing
  • Language Server Protocol for language intelligence
  • LanceDB for vector-based semantic code understanding
  • Local LLMs via Ollama, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and more

Join the Journey​

We're building Levitate in the open and would love to have you join us on this journey. This blog will be our platform for sharing development updates, design decisions, and technical insights as we work toward our first release.

Stay tuned for more posts about our development process, technical challenges, and project milestones.
