Why no AI?
SatisCode is the editor for people who want to write the code themselves, on their own computer, without anyone watching.
SatisCorp started from one frustration: AI creeping into everything. The answer was to build tools that stay simple, stay offline and belong to the people who use them.
Where your code goes
What “no AI” means here
- No chat panel and no assistant inside the editor.
- No code written for you by a model, and no suggestions sent to a server.
- No account to create and nothing to sign in to.
But you still get completion and diagnostics
Smart editing does not need AI. SatisCode uses language servers that run on your own computer: clangd for C and C++, Pyright for Python, and small servers for JSON and XML. They read your code and answer questions about it. They do not learn from it and they do not phone home.
What “no telemetry” means
The editor does not report what you type, which files you open or how often you use it. This website follows the same spirit: no cookies and no analytics. The only thing it asks the internet for is public figures from GitHub.
Offline first
You can install SatisCode, open a folder and work without an internet connection. The tools on this site are built to be small enough to read, to run on a modest computer and to keep working.
