Portable-first desktop development environment for Windows and Linux.
OpenMind Studio combines a Monaco-based code editor, integrated terminal, debugging, Git tooling, extensions, language runtimes, a built-in web preview, and a workspace-aware coding assistant with OpenMind Cloud integration. It is designed for everyday development, removable drives, and shared university or office computers.

Download files only from the official GitHub release. This release provides 12 Windows and Linux packages across x64 and x86 architectures.
| Architecture | Installer EXE | MSI | Portable ZIP |
|---|---|---|---|
| x64 (recommended) | Setup EXE | MSI | Portable ZIP |
| x86 (32-bit) | Setup EXE | MSI | Portable ZIP |
Installation guidance: Choose Setup EXE for a standard install, MSI for managed deployment, or ZIP if you need a portable copy. Some Windows x86 language tools and Runtime Manager downloads require 64-bit Windows; choose x64 wherever possible.
| Architecture | DEB | AppImage | Portable archive |
|---|---|---|---|
| x64 | DEB | AppImage | Portable tar.gz |
| x86 | DEB | AppImage | Portable tar.gz |
Linux systems may need GTK/WebKitGTK dependencies. Bundled Windows language tools and Runtime Manager downloads are not included in the Linux builds.
macOS: Build tooling and a launcher script are available, but no macOS application package was produced for v1.0.4. The .command asset is not an installer.
- Project-aware chat to inspect, explain, search, and propose code changes, with confirmation before potentially destructive operations.
- Workspace-aware tasks, a task queue, conversation history, attachments, Undo, and slash-command workflows.
- OpenMind Cloud support through a user-supplied Developer API key and configurable service endpoint; cloud access requires successful configuration and connectivity.
- A guided AI setup experience and smoother streaming responses. Availability of individual tools depends on runtime configuration and permissions.
- Expanded right-click menu with Go to, Peek, Rename, Refactor, Format, source-control history, compare, blame, and assistant actions.
- PascalABC.NET and Free Pascal compiler selection, NASM assembly tools, language-server assistance and debugging.
- Additional bundled offline formatters, including Prettier integrations, Ruff, gofmt, clang-format, and StyLua.
- Built-in browser panel with a developer console, local HTML/JavaScript previews, SCSS/Sass handling, and reload on save.
- Network discovery and explicit trust for shared installations and verified package transfers.
- Portable profiles isolated per computer, including databases, settings, and logs.
- Safer cross-computer runtime and language tool installations, UNC path handling, and in-place Windows Update/Repair.
- A 20-point network deployment diagnostic report for IT administrators.
- Room-code collaborative editing remains an early preview, pending physical multi-PC and classroom validation.

v1.0.4 is published but unsigned. Windows Authenticode and Linux GPG signing have not been applied to these packages. Windows may display security warnings, and some managed devices can block unsigned applications. Follow your organization's installation policies.
The automatic-update interface exists, but v1.0.4 has no signed update feed, so download and install the update manually. Keep your existing installation type when upgrading, and back up important projects first. For shared network installations, ensure everyone closes the app before replacing the program files.
Verify your package using SHA256SUMS.txt. SHA-256 verifies integrity; it does not by itself establish publisher authenticity.
OpenMind Studio keeps editor settings, project indexes, and local history in its configured local or per-machine storage. When you use OpenMind Cloud, prompts and any project context or attachments selected for the request are sent to the configured online service. Do not send sensitive materials without reviewing what is included.
Windows credentials are protected with DPAPI as documented; equivalent encryption is not yet available for stored secrets on Linux/macOS. See Privacy Policy, License Agreement, Terms of Use, and Third-party Licenses.
