Hello, Xipher IDE! Introducing Xipher IDE v0.4.0

Welcome to Xipher IDE

Today we're publicly launching Xipher IDE v0.4.0 — the first public alpha of a tool we've been building to solve a frustration many developers share: the fragmentation of AI access.

The Problem

If you work with AI models regularly, you probably:

Have browser tabs open for ChatGPT, Claude, and maybe Gemini

Pay for multiple subscriptions

Copy-paste between windows

Lost track of which conversation had that useful code snippet

Our Solution

Xipher IDE gives you a single terminal interface for all major AI providers:

$ xipher
Xipher IDE v0.4.0
Select a model:
  1. gpt-4o
  2. claude-4-sonnet
  3. gemini-2.5-pro
  4. deepseek-r1
  ...

No browser needed. Your API keys, stored securely in your system keyring. Real-time streaming responses you can cancel with Ctrl+C.

What's in v0.4.0?

75+ models from 7 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Zhipu, Moonshot)

Secure key storage using your OS keyring

Live streaming with cancel support

Slash commands — /model, /system, /history, /clear

Cross-platform — macOS, Linux, Windows

Get Started

Install in one line:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xipher-pro/xipher-ide/main/install.sh | sh

Then configure your first provider:

xipher configure

And start chatting:

xipher

What's Next

We have an ambitious roadmap:

Tool calling — let models call functions

/attach — send files as context

Multimodality — images and other formats

SQLite sessions — persistent full-context sessions

It's Open Source

Xipher IDE is MIT-licensed and free forever. We believe AI access should be open and developer-friendly.

Check us out on GitHub. Star the repo, open issues, and contribute!

Happy chatting.
