Agentic coding deserves more than a chat box bolted onto VS Code

Polypore is a new desktop IDE designed specifically for agentic coding that positions the AI agent as the primary actor rather than treating it as a sidebar addition to existing editors like VS Code. The platform features a fully customizable interface with dockable panels for editing, debugging, memory management, and agent control, all communicating through an MCP server that gives agents direct IDE control. Built with privacy and flexibility in mind, Polypore keeps secrets in the OS keyring, supports multiple languages and operating systems, and allows third-party extensions through sandboxed plugins.
