IntelyIDE
A fast multi-repo desktop IDE. One Changes tree across all your repositories, AI agents that can edit but never commit or push, and a Rewind snapshot for every run.
Mac software · open where it matters
Software made by developers, for developers.
IntelyHome builds the Mac tools we want on our own machines: an IDE that keeps AI agents on a leash, and an optimizer that treats Intel Macs as first-class. Local-first, honest about what they do, signed and notarized.
- Made by a working developer
- Signed and notarized builds
- No dark patterns
Two products, one standard
Both are native Mac apps with the same promises: they tell you what they will do, they ask before they change anything that matters, and they can be undone.
14-day free trial · from $19.99 / year
IntelyOpti
A native optimizer built for Intel Macs. Clean up, tune, cool down and monitor your Mac, with every change explained and reversible. Free tools stay free.
Why IntelyHome
Principles we hold ourselves to, in plain words.
Made by developers
We build these tools for our own daily work first. If a feature does not earn its place on our machines, it does not ship.
Local-first and private
Your files and your work stay on your Mac. Anything that leaves it is opt-in, explained first and kept to the minimum.
Honest, signed updates
Builds are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. IntelyOpti’s updates are cryptographically signed and come from GitHub; IntelyIDE checks GitHub for new versions. Release notes say what changed.
Open source where it matters
The IDE you trust with your code is GPL-3.0 and readable by anyone. IntelyOpti is proprietary, and says so.
Intel Macs are first-class
IntelyIDE runs natively on Intel and IntelyOpti is built for Intel Macs, with care guides and checks that only matter on that hardware.
No dark patterns
The trial is explained up front, needs nothing to cancel and undoes the settings it changed. No fake urgency, no invented numbers.
What you get
A look at what each product does. The product pages go deeper.
IntelyIDE
All IntelyIDE featuresMulti-repo Changes tree
Every repository’s changes in one grouped tree. Review, commit and push across all of them.
Agents with guardrails
Agents can edit but never commit or push. Permission policy, hard stops and a git shim enforce it.
Rewind snapshots
Every agent run starts with a snapshot. One click takes the whole run back.
MongoDB Studio
Read-only by default, with AI-assisted queries in English or Hungarian.
API contract checks
Spot drift between your backend’s Swagger and its client repositories.
Team (beta)
Watch teammates’ agent runs, chat in a run, see each other’s commits and share Claude memory, end-to-end encrypted through your own relay.
Phone gateway
Approve or answer an agent from your phone, through a relay you run yourself.
Agents on your servers
Add a server by its ssh target and run agents there from the same window.
Integrations
Happy, MCP servers, Sentry and DeepPattern in one catalog, with a connection status where there is one.
IntelyOpti
All IntelyOpti featuresSmart Care
A health score for your Mac and a one-click optimize that explains what it will do.

Mac Health

AI Advisor
Uses AI tools you already have to analyze a redacted snapshot. Nothing is sent until you press Share.
Auto Care
Scheduled safe cleaning and guardian alerts, so the Mac stays tidy without you.
Good things and extras
The small things that tell you how a product was made.
Signed and notarized
Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. Both apps open without a warning.
Verified updates
IntelyOpti installs an update only if its signature verifies, so a changed file is rejected. IntelyIDE tells you about new versions straight from GitHub.
Consent-gated analytics
This site loads no analytics until you accept. IntelyIDE has no analytics at all.
Light and dark
Both apps and this site follow your system theme, and you can switch by hand.
English and Hungarian
This site is hand-written in both. IntelyIDE ships 53 interface languages.
Intel-native
Built for the Intel Macs that many tools quietly stopped caring about.
GPL IDE
IntelyIDE is GPL-3.0-or-later. Read it, build it, fork it.
No lock-in
Plain git repositories, plain files, standard tools. You can walk away any time.
Keyboard-first
A command palette in IntelyIDE, and a site you can drive with the keyboard alone.
Reversible changes
Rewind in the IDE, automatic revert in IntelyOpti: changes can be taken back.
See both apps, light and dark
Every screenshot shows the light and the dark theme side by side, split by a diagonal. The switch changes the theme of this whole site.
