CodeNext.ai - Code with the Best LLM in Xcode
CodeNext is an AI-powered coding assistant for Xcode that provides context-aware code autocompletion and agentic chat, compatible with a broad range of large language models (LLMs). It aims to accelerate development by offering fast, contextually relevant code suggestions, natural-language coding help, and extensible chat plugins, all while integrating seamlessly into your existing workflow via your own API keys.
Key Features
- Context-aware code autocompletion: fast, line- and block-level code predictions that adapt to your current codebase.
- Natural language coding: ask Chat agents questions about code, bugs, refactors, and receive code-based answers.
- Agentic chat: write, explain, refactor, and perform actions within or beyond your codebase using natural language.
- Chat plugins: extend Chat with plugins to run Terminal commands and shortcuts, returning results inside the Chat widget.
- Wide LLM compatibility: supports OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google AI, Mistral, Anthropic, Deepseek, Ollama, OpenRouter, Tabby, and more.
- Scopes for accuracy: define scopes in Chat to improve answer precision and optimize API token usage.
- Theme support: dark, light, and system themes to match your environment.
- Real-time code suggestions: instant, context-aware completions accessible via Tab in Xcode.
- Privacy-conscious: no mandatory server-stored user code (depending on plan); API-driven with your own keys for the Indie plan.
- Cross-LLM versatility: ability to switch or mix LLMs to suit different tasks and models.
How It Works
- Install CodeNext and connect your API keys to enable free usage with your own keys.
- Open Xcode and start typing; CodeNext provides real-time, context-aware autocompletion and suggestions.
- Use agentic chat to write code, explain issues, or refactor, all within the same interface.
- Enhance the experience with chat plugins to run terminal commands and retrieve results without leaving Xcode.
- Customize scopes and themes to fit your workflow and preferences.
Plans & Pricing (as provided)
- Indie (individual developers): $0/mo, unlimited features for 1 user; requires your own API keys. Free plan with no server-stored code data; possible future paid options but free by default.
- Enterprise (teams/organizations): $60/mo (monthly) or $50/mo (yearly); unlimited users; includes all features, admin dashboard, priority support, and enforced data privacy.
Note: All communications with LLMs occur through third-party APIs. CodeNext emphasizes privacy, with no mandatory server storage of user code on the Indie plan. Auto updates and plugin extensions are supported.
Safety & Privacy Considerations
- Privacy-focused approach: Indie plan does not require an internal API server; uses third-party LLM APIs. Users should review provider privacy policies.
- Accessibility permissions may be required on macOS to integrate with Xcode for content extraction/insertion.
- For enterprise deployments, data privacy and admin controls are available.
