What you get
Tucan Studio is a code editor with support for multiple programming languages, editing multiple files, AI agents, and an integrated terminal. Extensions let you add more tools to your workspace.
Tabbed, highlighted, native
A syntax-highlighted text editor with tabs for working on multiple files and a file tree for navigating your workspace.
Review and commit your changes
Use the Git UI to review changed files, compare diffs, and commit your work directly from Tucan Studio.
Help with your code
An agent that reads and edits files in your project and fetches from the web — with OpenAI, Claude or Gemini behind it. More →
The IDE is meant to be added to
Forms, file editors — even whole AI providers — arrive as extensions from the catalog, with nothing to recompile. More →
The Aminet browser is available only on AmigaOS and MorphOS.
The AI agent
Ask the AI agent to explain code, help fix a bug, or implement a feature. It can explore your project, read and edit existing files, create new ones, and fetch information from the web. Follow its progress as it works on your request.
OpenAI, Claude, Gemini
OpenAI and Claude are built in; Gemini arrives as an extension. Add a service, paste your own key, pick a model — they are configured in the IDE under AI Agent → Add AI Service…, not in the environment.
It stays in your project
Every tool call is restricted to the working directory and its subtree. A path that climbs out of it is refused, so the agent cannot wander onto another volume.
An allow-list, not a free hand
Running commands is off until you say otherwise, and then only the ones you list. Reading and editing files needs no such permission — those tools are always there.
Teach it once
Saved instructions the agent can list and read back when a task matches, and add to when you ask it to remember how something is done here.
Extensions
Extensions add tools, forms, editors for more file types, and AI providers to Tucan Studio. Install them from the extension catalog, or create your own using JavaScript and markup.
How far that goes: Gemini support is an extension. It is pure JavaScript — it only describes how to build a Google AI request and how to read the reply, and the studio makes the call. Agent mode, tool calling and the token readout work exactly as they do for the providers built into the IDE. An extension can add a whole AI backend without touching Tucan Studio at all.

Each page says what that platform needs and how to install there. More may follow — an AROS port is under way. Which builds actually exist for a given release is whatever the download page is offering: it lists what has been published, not what is planned.
Installing
Download the package for your platform and follow its installation guide: the Install script on AmigaOS and MorphOS, an APK package on Adélie Linux, a DMG on macOS, or a DEB package on Ubuntu Linux.
