The agentic dev environment
for local LLMs
Describe a task in plain language. Ascora ADE reads your code, plans, edits files, runs commands, and shows a diff before applying — powered by the models you run yourself. Private, offline-capable, and entirely in your control.
Works with LM Studio · Codex · Claude Code · GLM — bring your own keys, or run fully local.
One agent, every backend — switch models per task
A full development environment, with an agent inside it
It edits the code — you stay in control
The agent works in a loop: read, plan, edit, run, verify. Every file change is shown as a diff you can approve or reject. Trust it more? Switch to Auto-apply and let it run uninterrupted.
- Side-by-side diffs before anything touches disk
- “Ask before changes” or “Auto-apply” per task
- A running tally of every file the task touched

Private by default, on the models you choose
Ascora ADE speaks to local LLMs through LM Studio’s OpenAI-compatible API, and to Codex, Claude Code, and GLM/ZCode. Pick a backend per project — your code never has to leave your machine.
- Local-first: runs fully offline against LM Studio
- Switch provider and model from the composer
- Per-workspace model memory

Follow the agent’s thought process, watch each tool call stream in — list a directory, read a file, search, run a command — and read the final summary. No black box.
- Collapsible reasoning blocks
- Live token + time counter while it works
- Tool cards with output, diffs, and exit codes

The same editor that powers VS Code, bundled and fully offline.
Integrated terminal
Run builds and tests without leaving the workspace.
Git, with AI commits
Stage, diff, branch, and push — or let the agent write the commit message.
SSH terminals
Drive remote hosts from the same agent loop over SSH.
Live preview
Built-in live server renders your HTML as you change it.
Usage analytics
Track tokens, models, and tasks across every workspace.
Your code, your machine
Nothing is uploaded unless you choose a hosted backend.
Dockable panels
A VS Code-style layout you can split, stack, and re-dock.
Four steps, no context switching
Open a project
Point Ascora ADE at any folder. It indexes the tree and connects to your chosen model.
Describe a task
Ask in plain language — “add a dark-mode toggle”, “fix the failing test”, “refactor this”.
Review the diff
The agent plans and proposes edits. Inspect each change as a clear, reviewable diff.
Apply with confidence
Approve to write to disk, or let Auto-apply run the whole task end to end.

Frequently asked
Not unless you choose a hosted backend. With LM Studio, everything — the model and your code — runs locally and works fully offline. Codex, Claude Code, and GLM call their respective services only when you select them.
Any OpenAI-compatible local model through LM Studio, plus the Codex (gpt-5.x), Claude Code (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku), and GLM/ZCode CLIs. You can switch the backend and model per task from the composer, and each workspace remembers its own choice.
Ascora ADE is built around local-first, agentic workflows: it’s designed to run against models you host yourself, with a transparent read-plan-edit-run loop and explicit diff approval. You own the stack end to end.
Only if you let it. The default “Ask before changes” mode shows a diff and waits for your approval on every write and command. Switch to “Auto-apply” when you want it to run uninterrupted.
Ascora ADE is a desktop app built on Electron, so it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The interactive demo on this page runs the real interface right in your browser with mock data.
