It began as AIJS, in 2023.
AIJS was one of the first browser editors with AI built in. It had a button that asked an AI to improve your code, or just the sections you had highlighted, and it applied the change for you.
Codevre is a free browser IDE with a coding agent built in, along with simpler editors and Codevre Learn for teaching. Everything runs in your browser tab, and there's nothing to install.

Even the first version of AIJS had classes built in for teachers and students. Codevre Learn takes that idea much further. Teachers run a class from one dashboard, students join with a code, and the work happens in the same editors they already know. Schools use it for their classes today.
Today the Codevre IDE works like VS Code, with a real Node.js terminal and a live preview. Its coding agent reads and edits files across a project, runs commands and checks the preview before it reports back. The agent runs on free models, so it costs nothing to use.
Codevre grew up around creative coding. There are generative sketch templates to start from, and the q5 Editor is built for making art with code.
It was made in partnership with q5, who described what learners and classrooms need. Codevre built the editor to match.
Codevre is independent. It has no outside funding and one developer working on it, and it stays free to use, coding agent included. Subscriptions are what pay for the time it takes to keep improving it.
If Codevre is useful to you, a subscription is the most direct way to support it, and every one helps a great deal. Plans start at $5 a month, and every plan has every feature.
