Editor & IDE
Pear AI
An open-source AI code editor, forked from VS Code and Continue, that bundles a curated set of AI coding tools into one interface.
Pear AI is an open-source code editor built on top of VS Code and the Continue extension, aiming to package the best available AI coding tools into a single, ready-to-use interface rather than making users assemble their own stack of extensions.
Why it stands out
- Codebase-aware chat, with an
@codebasereference that pulls in the most relevant snippets automatically. - Inline diff editing, where a shortcut applies AI-suggested changes directly to the open file with a visible diff to review.
- Fully open source, so the editor and its integrations can be inspected, forked, or self-modified rather than treated as a black box.
Good for
Developers who want an open-source, VS Code-based alternative to closed AI editors, with the tooling curated rather than left to configure from scratch.
