Supported IDEs

ADHDev ships 8 built-in IDE integrations via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), but inventory should not be confused with public support.

If you want the broader picture including CLI and ACP agents, read Supported Providers first.

Public Starting Point

If you want the safest IDE path today, start with Cursor. It is currently the clearest public Partial promotion for native IDE control, session switching, and Remote View.

Public platform validation today is still macOS and Windows. Linux-oriented inventory entries below reflect shipped detector/provider coverage, not a public support promise yet.

AI Extensions

These VS Code-compatible extensions are detected and monitored independently:

These extension paths matter because VS Code and VSCodium are often best understood as host IDEs for extension-based agents rather than as fully promoted native AI IDEs on their own.

How IDE Detection Works

  1. Process scanning — ADHDev checks for known IDE process names
  2. CDP port probing — attempts to connect to known CDP ports
  3. Webview discovery — for extension-based IDEs, discovers agent webviews
  4. Provider matching — matches detected IDE to the correct provider for chat extraction

Important Caveats

  • ADHDev is built around Electron-based IDE control
  • Non-Electron IDEs such as Zed and IntelliJ-based IDEs are not supported
  • VS Code family entries should be treated as detection and launch coverage first
  • Cursor is currently the only IDE with public Partial evidence in the built-in IDE list
  • Extension promotions are tracked separately from host IDE promotions
