About Flare

Flare is an innovative graph-first IDE designed for agentic coding, transforming the way developers interact with their codebases. Unlike traditional tools that provide chat logs or static views, Flare offers a dynamic interactive map where each file is a node and each import a connecting edge, providing a visual representation of the project structure. It integrates a real terminal for running models like Claude, Codex, or OpenCode, enabling seamless coding and testing within the environment. The graph updates in real time as edits are made, attributing changes to specific contributors and automatically pulling the latest rewrites that affect imports. Its snapshot-based local history allows easy diffing and reverting, enhancing safety and control. With a focus on agentic work management, Flare enables agents to operate from a dedicated board, all without requiring user accounts and under an MIT license. Its open-source approach and unique visual interface make it particularly appealing for developers exploring AI-assisted coding and complex project navigation.
