[do] for VS Code
Build apps. Ship them. Never leave VS Code.
Real working app. Free to try. $20/mo when you want to make it yours.
Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, code-server, and anywhere the VS Code extension API runs.
Get started in 60 seconds
- Install this extension.
- Click the [do] icon in the Activity Bar (left edge).
- Sign in with your email and password.
New here? Sign up at do-awesome.com — takes 30 seconds.
- Open a folder containing a [do] App, click Publish this folder.
- Your app is live at a
*.doapps.cloud subdomain. Done.
The first publish from an empty folder offers to scaffold a fresh [do] App for you — say yes, name it, ship it.
What you get
- My Apps sidebar — your live [do] apps with status pills, click any to open the live URL
- Publish command —
do publish from any [do]-shaped folder, output streamed inside the editor
- Inline sign-in — email + password prompts in Cursor; no browser hop. Authenticates against the [do] platform and persists your API key locally to
~/.do/credentials.
- Paste API key alternate flow — for users who already have a key from the CLI or another install
- Status bar indicator — at-a-glance signed-in state
Pricing
- Free — install the extension, scaffold and preview locally, audit the source.
- $20/mo — publish unlimited app updates, custom domains, marketplace listings, more storage.
- Marketplace — list your apps for sale; [do] handles checkout. We take 15%.
Same pricing in the extension, the native [do] desktop app for Mac, and (soon) Windows + Linux native.
Requirements
The extension shells out to the do CLI to do its work. If you don't have it installed, the extension will tell you where it expects to find it.
For now: download from do-awesome.com/download. The CLI lives at /usr/local/bin/do on macOS by default; the extension auto-detects PATH and common install locations.
Want the full experience?
The native [do] desktop app for Mac includes multi-CLI orchestration (Claude Code + Codex + Gemini CLI + others in parallel terminal panes), demo recording, autonomous git substrate, and the Session Intelligence inspector. The VS Code extension is a deliberate slice of that — for professional devs who already live in their editor.
Get [do] for Mac. Windows + Linux native coming.
Source-available, NOT open-source
This repository is publicly readable so you can install with confidence and audit the code. It is not open source.
What you can do:
- Install and use the extension via the Marketplace (or sideload the
.vsix)
- Read the source code for inspection or audit
- Submit issues and feature requests
What you cannot do (without written permission):
- Fork, modify, or create derivative works
- Redistribute the extension under your own publisher / brand
- Use the [do] name or trademarks
See LICENSE.md for the full terms. Short version: free to use, free to read, not free to fork.
The platform behind the extension (the do CLI binary, the [do] Core hosting runtime) is closed-source. That's what your $20/mo pays for.
