Ship Studio

The professional studio for modern development.
Build it, ship it, host it — without leaving the app.

Ship Studio is a free desktop app that puts everything you need for
agentic development in one window: an AI agent terminal, a live preview,
visual editing, Git branches and PRs, and one-click deploys. Plug in the
agent and accounts you already pay for — Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode;
GitHub; Vercel — and start shipping.

The web is changing, and freelancers, agencies, and designers are trying to
stay up to speed. Ship Studio is the easiest path to modern development: all
the simplicity of the all-in-one tools you're used to, without the
lock-in. It's a real desktop app that runs locally on your Mac — your code
lives on your machine, not on our servers.

*Dev tools for the rest of us.*
