It's the working environment that counts: cloud and desktop IDEs

Extensible platforms for developing cloud and desktop development environments using state-of-the-art web technology stacks.

Innovating.
Empowering.
Implementing.

Eclipse Theia

We founded Theia in 2017, an open-source IDE framework designed as a successor to Eclipse RCP, which had been the leading platform for custom desktop tools for many years.

Designed for customization

Theia combines pluggable VS Code extensions with compile-time extensions, enabling both compatibility with the VS Code ecosystem and deep customizations.

Desktop, cloud or both

You can package Theia as a desktop app or deploy it into cloud development environ­ments – or even target both platforms with the same code base.

VS Code

We support you in creating custom VS Code extensions: DSL integration, custom widgets, or any other functionality based on the extension API.

Full flexibility with extensions

Install your extensions into the standard VS Code app, a cloud deployment of VS Code, or Eclipse Theia.
