VS Code extension

Run a team of agents from one editor.

Idea Builder turns VS Code into a control panel for Claude Code. Launch, isolate, and resume coding agents as editor tabs, each in its own git worktree, all working at once.

One agent at a time is the bottleneck.

You ship alone, with five half-built ideas open at once. Working one agent on one branch means everything waits on the thing in front of it. Idea Builder runs them side by side, isolated, so progress happens in parallel.

  1. 01

    Launch

    Start a Claude Code session as an editor tab. Open as many as you need and watch them work like panes.

  2. 02

    Isolate

    Each session gets its own git worktree, so agents never step on each other’s files or branches.

  3. 03

    Resume

    Come back to any session and keep the conversation going from exactly where it left off.

Move a task to To Do. An agent picks it up.

Keep your work as a simple board. The moment an issue lands in To Do, Idea Builder spawns a Claude Code session for it in a fresh worktree, then moves it to In Review when the agent is done and it’s your turn to look.

Drag a card between columns, or drop one in To Do and watch an agent pick it up.

Your ideas and issues live on your machine and work offline. Prefer a shared tracker? Connect Linear and sync both ways.

Get your license key.

Idea Builder is a paid VS Code extension. Pay once and it’s yours for life: one license activates one machine, validated through Dodo Payments.

  • One machine per license
  • Offline-first, no account to run
  • Optional Linear sync
Do I need Claude Code?

Yes. Idea Builder drives Claude Code sessions inside VS Code, so you’ll need it installed and signed in.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Ideas and issues are stored locally as plain JSON, so the board runs with no connection. Linear sync is optional.

How many machines can one license run?

One. A license binds to a single machine through Dodo Payments. Need more seats? Buy additional keys.

Is my code sent anywhere?

No. Worktrees, issues, and sessions stay on your machine. Only license checks and any sync you turn on leave it.
