Offline AI IDE
An offline AI IDE built for private, on-device coding
Quietly is a desktop offline AI IDE: edit code, run a local terminal, and pair with models through Llama.cpp or AirLLM—without sending your repository to a cloud API.
No cloud inference by default
Prompts and completions stay on your hardware. Ideal when policy forbids uploading source to third-party assistants.
IDE + standalone chat
One app for project work and ad-hoc local LLM chat—useful when you want Copilot-like help without a subscription pipeline.
Windows, macOS, Linux
Install once, download models inside the app, then work fully offline after setup.
Who chooses an offline AI IDE?
Teams with NDAs, regulated data, or air-gapped networks often cannot use cloud coding assistants. An offline AI IDE keeps the same workflow—inline help, chat, terminal—while respecting data residency.
Individual developers use Quietly to experiment with local models (Llama 3, Qwen Coder, Code Llama in GGUF) without metered API bills.
How Quietly differs from cloud IDEs
Cloud tools optimize for convenience and model freshness; Quietly optimizes for control. You choose the model files, the inference backend, and when the network is off.
Quietly is not a hosted fork of VS Code—it is a focused offline AI IDE with privacy-first defaults and a one-time license.
