What it does
Most AI coding tools send your code to the cloud. BuilderStudio keeps everything on your Mac — the IDE, the agent, and the deploy pipeline run locally. You describe what you want, the agent builds it, previews run in Docker, and you ship without touching a third-party server. SafeChain flags risky dependencies before they hit your project. Free to download. No cloud subscription. No data leaving your machine. Built for Mac developers who want agentic coding without the cloud dependency.
Download BuilderStudio, the free local-first agentic coding IDE for macOS, Windows, and Linux with MCP, Skills, Agentic Swarms, secure previews, source editing, packaging, and deployment handoff.
BuilderStudio is a free native agentic coding IDE for builders who want a focused local workspace for app creation. It brings source editing, terminal workflows, MCP-aware tools, reusable Skills, OpenRouter model access, local previews, source packaging, and deployment handoff into one desktop flow. The app is designed for people who want to build app projects locally first, inspect the generated code, run safe previews, and then move a clean source bundle into the BuilderStudio control plane when it is ready to launch. The MacOS release includes a recommended Apple Silicon DMG package and an alternate ZIP archive. BuilderStudio can help you move from an idea to an app workspace with…from builderstudio.dev

ReplicasJun 2026 · replicas.dev · ▲239Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

Boxes.devJun 2026 · boxes.dev · ▲112Hi HN, we’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer. We’re two engineers who previously built Gem (co-founder/CTO and first hire), and we spent the last year coding almost exclusively using Codex and Claude Code. It’s been a huge change to how we code, and it’s been exhilarating seeing the models keep getting better – but we eventually realized that developing on localhost was holding us back: - Git worktrees are clunky to set up and use for parallelizing work -…

Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
