Plan before it writes
Ask for a change. See the architecture first: files, contracts, libraries, and the graph. Approve, refine, or discard. Nothing hits disk until you say so.
Windows desktop IDE
The AI-native IDE for people who inherited a codebase, not a demo.
ARQCA is currently in development. There is no public installer yet — this page will not invent one.

The missing piece
Chat can write code. It cannot necessarily tell you whether that POST /checkout actually reaches the function you think it does.
When you are debugging a service you did not write, reviewing an AI patch you do not fully trust, or navigating an unfamiliar codebase, the missing piece is not more autocomplete.
It is ground truth.
ARQCA is a full IDE first — editor, terminal, git, search, tests, language intelligence — then AI on a map of the real program.
That's the product, not a plugin.
Features
01
Ask for a change. See the architecture first: files, contracts, libraries, and the graph. Approve, refine, or discard. Nothing hits disk until you say so.
02
Pick an entry point — a route, a main, a test — and walk the cascade. Click a node to re-root. See callers. Know which edges are certain and which are heuristic.
03
Trace a request through the stack. Values show up on the line that produced them. Compare what you thought would happen with what actually did.
04
One chat. Attach files with @. Ground a question in a trace. Apply edits as diffs you can revert. Your model, your keys — cloud or local.
How it works
The core development loop is the product's identity — not a side panel bolted onto an editor.
01
Decide the shape of the change. Understand architecture, files, and contracts first.
02
Write it with the editor and agent under your rules. Review diffs before they land.
03
Run the real program on your machine. The website never becomes a proxy for that.
04
Watch the map and trace update so the next prompt is smarter than the last.
Who it's for
Agentic development
ARQCA gives the coding agent structured information about the software in front of you: the code graph, selected nodes, attached files, traces, and the prompt you typed. The model translates that map. It does not invent the architecture.
You choose the model in Settings. That can be Anthropic Claude, or another configured provider — including a local one. API keys stay on your PC. This website never collects them, never proxies them, and never runs your IDE in the browser.
ARQCA is currently in development. Join the early-access list and we will send the Windows installer when it exists — not a placeholder.
