Codalio

Codalio Studio · Launch preview

Your coding agent, with a plan it can't skip.

Codalio is the spec-first AI software factory. It helps you build enterprise-grade, compliant and deployable applications, without needing a senior engineer to get started.

Codalio Studio brings it to your desktop.

Prompts get guessed at; specs get built. Studio writes the PRD and technical spec first, so every change your agent makes traces back to a requirement and a test.

Launch offer

Codalio Studio is free for 6 months with your own coding CLI and models.

Platforms

macOS (Apple Silicon) · Windows x64 · Linux x64

First public launch

Studio goes public for the first time, at SAAS NORTH.

This is the first time we're releasing Codalio Studio to the public, and we chose SAAS NORTH 2026 in Ottawa to do it. Come find us at booth L4.

Built in Canada’s sovereign AI program

Codalio was selected for the inaugural cohort of the TELUS Sovereign AI Accelerator, delivered by L-SPARK. The program is about keeping Canadian data, IP and AI under Canadian control.

Launching where that community meets

SAAS NORTH brings Canada’s SaaS founders, operators and investors into one room. It’s the right place for a Canadian-built, sovereignty-first tool to go public.

Sovereign by design

Studio runs on your computer with the coding CLI and models you choose, including local models. Your code stays in your repositories, and nothing reaches GitHub until you say so.

The launch offer

Codalio Studio, free for 6 months.

The full desktop app

Spec, workflows, agents, preview and review. Everything on this page, free for 6 months when you sign up during the launch.

No new AI subscription

Studio runs the coding CLI and models you already pay for, so there’s nothing extra to buy to get started.

Plus $50 off Codalio Cloud

Every signup also gets their own code for $50 off Codalio Cloud Premium, sent with the download links.

Walkthrough

See Studio on your desktop

From idea to spec, to code, to review, in one app, on your own AI.

How it works

Plan, build, preview, review

Spec first, then agents — with your approval at every gate.

Step 1Plan

Type /product, answer a few questions one at a time, and specialist writer agents draft the PRD and technical spec.

Step 2Build

Run a task on a workflow. Agents plan, pause for your approval, build, test and document.

Step 3Preview

Open your app in the built-in browser at real device sizes, and pin notes to any element for the agent.

Step 4Review

Read the diff with Explain changes, let a reviewer agent draft line comments, and send one GitHub review when you're ready.

For developers

That last mile belongs to developers — so we built for it.

Full development workflow canvas in Codalio Studio

Design your own workflows

Chain agents on a canvas with parallel steps, AI condition gates and manual approvals. Ready-made workflows for Laravel, Rails and NestJS, each with React.

Provider, model and effort picker in Codalio Studio

Your key, your model

Studio runs the coding CLI you already have as a live session, on the exact model you pick, including local models. Its memory survives restarts.

A spec your agent builds against

/product runs specialist writers (product, design, architecture, AI architecture) and a consistency check. Business and Technical tabs, versioned and exportable.

Review page showing what changed, the risk, and how to test

Writer agents build, reviewer agents audit — a human signs off last.

Every workflow run is a live card in the chat. Stop it, resume it, and see exactly what each agent did.

Import agents, skills, commands and MCP servers

Bring your agents with you

Import your existing agents, skills, commands and MCP servers from a .claude folder or other tools, or install them from the Marketplace.

Codalio Cloud

Prefer the browser? Cloud builds it and ships it.

Codalio Cloud is the same spec-first software factory in your browser. Start from an idea or an existing codebase, and Cloud takes it to a product plan, a clickable prototype and production-ready code you own.

  • The same living plan across Cloud and Studio, so nothing drifts
  • Premium includes 5 seats, 500 monthly credits that roll over, managed deployment and priority support
  • Studio is the last mile on your desktop; Cloud is the factory in the browser

SAAS NORTH offer

$50 off Cloud Premium

Premium is regularly $100 a month. Leave your details for Studio and we email you a unique code with the download links. Yours alone, works once.

  • Unlock Studio downloads on this page
  • Get your Cloud Premium code in the same email
  • Use the code at checkout when you start Premium

For engineering leaders

Governed build, not generated guesswork.

Generalist AI coding tools do many things. Codalio Studio does one: governed, compliant software from a spec, in your environment, with a team that sets it up with you.

Sovereignty

Run the factory in your environment — models, data, and process stay under your control. Studio runs on your models, including local models.

Traceability

Every change traces to a requirement, test result, and compliance check.

Human sign-off

Every agent builds against the living PRD. Engineers validate before production. Approval gates pause every run, and nothing merges without your engineer.

A team, not just a tool

We run your first real initiative through the factory side-by-side — capability transfers, not just a tool. We design your workflows with your team, approvals and compliance gates built in.

Studio and Enterprise can run Canada-first, or in the region and on the models you choose.

Setup

Get set up in four steps

From the setup guide.

  1. Step 1

    Install and sign in

    Run the installer, then choose Sign in with Codalio. Your browser opens, and Studio continues when you're done.

  2. Step 2

    Pick your default agent

    Studio sorts the coding CLIs on your computer into Detected and Not installed. Choose one and select Continue.

  3. Step 3

    Set up your tools

    For anything missing, Studio shows the install command. You run it yourself, then select Check again; Studio never runs an install for you.

  4. Step 4

    Open your project

    Open a folder, clone a repo or start a new project. Studio finds each project, suggests how to run it, and writes nothing until you save.

Works with nine coding CLIs, including ones that run models on your own computer. See the full list and install commands.
