Frequently Asked Questions

What is available today?

Genexy IDE Beta 0.9.1 for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, plus the authenticated account and support portal.

Is Genexy just a code editor?

No. The editor, search, Git, terminals and AI chat are how you interact with Genexy, not what it is. Genexy is an architecture-first development platform where the architecture is the shared source of truth for you and your AI. This Beta ships that cross-platform workspace; the architecture-first workflow and deterministic generation are being released progressively.

Do I need an account?

Not for the Free features. Download, install and start working. The editor, search, code intelligence, Git, terminals and AI chat need no account. An account is needed for the PRO features, and for tickets and notifications.

How do I get the PRO features?

Register in the portal, verify your email, then activate PRO in the Console and sign in to the IDE with the same account. PRO costs €19 per month. The full path is on Plans & Feature Access.

Why do I see fewer features than the documentation shows?

Either the feature is PRO and you are not signed in with a PRO account, or it is desktop-only. Docker and Libraries are the PRO features; Docker, language servers and the local AI agents do not exist on mobile. AI chat itself is part of Free on every platform. See feature access and the platform matrix.

Is Genexy available on phones and tablets?

Yes, on Android, iPhone and iPad. Mobile platforms use Genexy Shell and cannot run the desktop AI agents, language servers or Docker.

Is there a Web IDE?

Yes. The Web IDE  opens Genexy in a browser and connects it to the Genexy IDE running on your own desktop with Remote Access turned on. Nothing is hosted: the interface is served by that machine, and the project, terminals, Git and agents stay on it.

Is there a Genexy CLI or a public API?

There is a CLI: Genexy CLI (gnx) brings the IDE’s AI chat to the terminal, with the same agents, providers, settings and chat history. A public API is still in development; any older endpoint example is not a supported feature.

Is MCP supported?

Partially. Genexy can expose its tools to a local agent, but there is no public endpoint, no supported setup flow and no stability guarantee yet. Do not build on it.

Which AI integrations are supported?

Desktop builds can use Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Kiro, and the open-source agents OpenCode and Cline, as local agent integrations. Every platform can use the currently available free providers, which need no account or API key, and any OpenAI-compatible API, including models you run yourself with Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or llama.cpp. Several agents can be used side by side in one project. See the AI chat guide.

Can I switch model or provider during a chat?

Yes, from the selectors under the composer. The context is kept, the switch is recorded, and Genexy warns you when the new target cannot use tools.

Where is chat history stored?

Locally. On desktop under ~/.genexy/chats; on mobile inside the application sandbox.

Does AI traffic go through Genexy servers?

No. The IDE talks directly to the agent or provider you selected. Account and support requests are separate and do use Genexy services. See Data & Privacy.

What is Autopilot?

Autopilot answers action-approval prompts automatically during a turn. Leave it off when you want to approve or decline each action yourself.

What is Genexy Shell?

A Bash-compatible shell implemented inside Genexy. It supports scripts, pipes, redirection, Git and common core utilities, runs on every platform, and is the only terminal on Android and iOS.

Why are some files orange?

They match a Git ignore rule. A blue folder with a GIT badge is a nested Git repository.

Does the vulnerability scan send my code anywhere?

No. It sends dependency names and versions to OSV.dev to look up advisories. Source code is not sent. See Libraries & Vulnerabilities.

Where should I report a problem?

Check Troubleshooting first. Then open a support ticket for a tracked bug, feature request or help request, and use Discord for quick questions.
