Chad IDE → the first brainrot IDE

Sup Giga-Chads, we’re Richard and Kevin — Founders of Clad Labs

TLDR; As highly requested we built the CHAD IDE. Chad integrates your brainrot vices with your agentic coding workflow. Chad increases productivity and reduces the friction of context switching.

The problem:

AI coding creates a time span isn't long enough to do something new, and it's not short enough to be entirely negligible. Developers are spending time off the IDE to fill the inference time gap (usually brain-rotting on their phones)

• 1-5 minute wasted downtime between prompts
• People often forget to come back to their code
• Context-switching builds mental fatigue → decreased efficiency

CHAD:

Chad aims to manage your AI coding inference time effectively by integrating the modern workflow into a single IDE. Specifically, you can now ⬇️

• shit-post on X
• scroll Instagram/Tiktok
• shoot Stake craps
• swipe Tinder, etc.

directly from your coding agent orchestration workflow.

Chad ends your brainrot session when it's time to get back to work. No more losing track of time.

Login with existing Claude Code and integrate your brainrot workflow.

In our early beta users, we've seen an average of 15 minutes saved per hour vibe coding when users switch over to Chad. (not a research study - a survey and anecdotal results from watching beta users code on their setup vs with Chad).

Be a Giga-Chad with the CHAD IDE

If anyone reading is a brainrot coder, feel free to give the IDE a try.

thank you Void, Pear AI, and Continue Dev teams for the guidance. Chad takes heavy inspiration from them, please check them out if you’re interested in really great open source AI coding.
