Your AI cloud IDE that never forgets
Full VS Code in your browser with persistent AI memory. Your coding style, architecture decisions, and project context -- all remembered across every session.
Free tier includes 1 workspace with 2GB storage. No credit card required.
The problems with today's AI coding tools
You're not broken. Your tools just have amnesia.
Reprompt Fatigue
Tired of re-explaining your codebase every new session? Clara remembers your project context permanently -- no more copy-pasting READMEs into chat.
AI Context Drift
AI tools lose track of your architecture mid-conversation. Clara enforces your project constitution, keeping every response aligned with your decisions.
Scattered Environments
Juggling local setups, SSH sessions, and browser tabs. Clara gives you one cloud workspace -- VS Code, terminal, and AI, all in a single URL.
VS Code in your browser, powered by Docker
Each workspace is an isolated Docker container running code-server. Full IDE experience with terminal access, routed through Traefik to your own subdomain.
Explorer
Full VS Code
Extensions, themes, keybindings -- everything you expect
Real Terminal
Run any command. npm, git, docker -- full shell access
AI Memory Panel
Side panel with persistent context from your .ai/ constitution
Persistent Storage
Your files live on Docker volumes. Never lose work
Isolated Containers
Each workspace runs in its own Docker container
Access Anywhere
Open your workspace from any browser, any device
Built for how developers actually work
Not another chatbot. A complete development environment with AI that understands your codebase.
Persistent Memory
Clara remembers your project context across sessions. Your coding style, naming conventions, architectural decisions -- all stored in a project constitution that grows with your codebase.
Project Constitution
Define your rules in .ai/ -- style.md, architecture.md, constraints.md. Clara enforces these rules in every AI interaction, ensuring consistency across your entire team.
Cloud IDE + Terminal
Full VS Code in your browser, running in an isolated Docker container. Terminal access, extensions, themes -- everything you need. Access from any device via your workspace URL.
File Sync Bridge
Use the CLI to watch your local files and sync changes to the cloud workspace in real time. Or work entirely in the browser. Your choice, your workflow.
Up and running in three steps
From install to coding in under two minutes.
Sign up and install the CLI
Create your Clara.dev account and install the CLI with a single command. The CLI handles project configuration and workspace management.
Initialize your project
Run clara init to create your .ai/ constitution. Define your coding style, architecture rules, and constraints. Clara will enforce these in every interaction.
Launch your cloud workspace
One command spins up an isolated Docker container with VS Code, terminal, and your AI assistant. Access it from any browser at your own subdomain.
AI that follows you across the browser
The Clara Chrome extension detects your cloud workspace and injects an AI assistant that knows your project. It reads your current file, enforces your constitution, and remembers every interaction.
AI Chat Panel
Side panel with context-aware AI that reads your current file and project constitution.
code-server Detection
Auto-detects when you're on your workspace URL and injects the AI assistant.
Context Memory
Persistent memory stored locally. Export, import, and sync across devices.
Style Enforcement
Highlights potential violations of your .ai/ constitution rules in real time.
Power at your fingertips
Initialize projects, sync files, manage workspaces, and control your AI memory -- all from the terminal.
How it all fits together
A clean, containerized architecture. One URL per workspace, backed by Docker and Traefik on a Linux EC2 instance.
