Overview
stagewise is an IDE with a built-in coding agent that can read a browser tab's console and debugger. It can make temporary test changes to a page or connect to a codebase for permanent edits, and it can extract components, styles and color palettes from existing sites. Models come from your own API keys or subscriptions (Kimi, Qwen, MiniMax, Xiaomi MiMo, Mistral, OpenRouter) or from custom providers, including local inference.
Who it is for: Frontend developers who want a coding agent that works inside a browser view
Strengths
- Agent has access to the tab's console and debugger while editing
- Bring your own key; custom providers and local inference can be registered
- Can reverse-engineer a site's components, style system and color palettes
- Integrates with other editors to view and apply code changes
Weaknesses
- Hosted stagewise account service is being sunset at the end of November 2026
- AGPL-3.0; uses outside its terms require contacting the vendor for a license
- Distributed as a downloaded app; no Docker or compose setup
- No self-hosting, hardware or system requirements documented in the README

- Needs Model provider API key or subscription
- Models: Moonshot Kimi, Alibaba Qwen, MiniMax, Xiaomi MiMo, Mistral
