Platforms
Magic Coder runs in your terminal. That’s the surface that’s mature, stable, and recommended for daily work. We’re also building a standalone desktop app and a Visual Studio Code extension — both are in preview and improving quickly.
Soon, you’ll also be able to talk to Magic Coder directly inside BridgeApp, alongside the rest of your account. That doesn’t exist yet but it’s the direction.
What’s available now
Section titled “What’s available now”| Surface | Status | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal (TUI) | Stable, recommended | Day-to-day coding work |
| Desktop app | Preview | Trying out a non-terminal experience |
| VS Code extension | Preview | Editing in VS Code with Magic Coder alongside |
If you’re new to Magic Coder, start with the TUI. The other surfaces are built on top of the same agent and the same BridgeApp account, so anything you learn in the TUI carries over.
What’s coming
Section titled “What’s coming”- Magic Coder inside BridgeApp. A first-class chat with the agent in the BridgeApp web app and mobile clients. Same account, same threads, same project context — just reachable from more places.
- Editor integrations beyond VS Code. JetBrains and others, depending on demand.
Pick your starting point
Section titled “Pick your starting point”- I want the most powerful surface and I’m comfortable in a terminal — Terminal (TUI).
- I’d rather try a GUI before a TUI — Desktop app (preview).
- I live in VS Code and want Magic Coder right there — VS Code extension (preview).
