The layout vibe coding was always supposed to have.

Claude Code, inside the app

Use your existing Claude Code subscription directly. We wrap the Claude Code CLI inside a native agent chat UI so it feels like a first-party feature. No API keys required. Just sign in and start coding.

👁️

Live visual preview

See your app render in real-time as the agent writes code. React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro. No dev server commands, no browser tabs, no config files. It just appears.

📸

Drag to screenshot

See something wrong? Drag a box around it and send the screenshot straight to the agent. Point at what you want fixed. No words needed. Visual feedback at the speed of thought.

🔓

Monkey Models + BYOK

Don't have Claude Code? No problem. Three branded Monkey Model tiers are built in, no key needed. Or bring your own via OpenRouter, Anthropic, or OpenAI. No lock-in.

🧩

MCP tool support

Model Context Protocol support built in. Connect external tools and data sources to extend what the AI agent can do.

>_

Integrated terminal

Full PTY terminal built into the editor. Run builds, tests, git commands. The AI agent uses it too, so you can watch it work.

Not a fork. Not a plugin. Not a wrapper.

Every other "AI IDE" is a VS Code fork with a chat panel stuck on the side. You still have to run dev servers, open browser tabs, and squint at a terminal. We threw all of that out.

Typical "AI IDE"

  • No visual preview of your app
  • Manual dev server setup
  • AI bolted on as a sidebar chat
  • Fork of VS Code / Electron
  • Heavy, slow, resource-hungry

Banana Code IDE

  • Agent + live preview side by side
  • Zero-config previews, no dev servers
  • Drag-to-screenshot feedback tool
  • Built from scratch in Rust + Tauri
  • Monkey Models + BYOK
