    You can use Qoder CN in either of the following ways: Download the out-of-the-box Qoder CN IDE or install the Qoder CN plugin in your existing development tools, and log on to your account to get started.

    Note

    To provide a better user experience, we have fully upgraded the Qoder CN IDE. It now seamlessly integrates enhanced context engineering with agents to understand your entire codebase and handle complex tasks. Future product iterations will focus on the Qoder CN IDE and the Qoder CN plugin for JetBrains. Updates for the VS Code extension will be less frequent. If you experience issues with the VS Code extension, switch to the Qoder CN IDE for more stable technical support.
