Developer-first, no lectures
When you ask for an IOCTL handler or a packer unpacker, Hypex writes it. No disclaimers, no refusals on legitimate technical work. Just code.
Agentic IDE built on Code OSS. Bring any model — hosted, local, or your own Claude Code session. Built for the work that other tools refuse to help with: drivers, reverse engineering, embedded C++.
One prompt. Three tool calls. A working patch.
Four ideas we refuse to compromise on. If another tool has made you feel stupid or lectured today, you'll recognize these.
When you ask for an IOCTL handler or a packer unpacker, Hypex writes it. No disclaimers, no refusals on legitimate technical work. Just code.
Plug in Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, or your own self-hosted endpoint. Switch per-task. Route reasoning to Claude, codegen to GPT-5, cheap edits to local Qwen.
Core is free forever when you bring your own keys. Pro adds cloud settings sync, the MCP marketplace, and priority model routing. No seat-based enterprise tax.
First-class WDK awareness, MSBuild integration, compile_commands.json, clangd LSP, ASAN/UBSAN-aware test runs. Debug across kernel and user-mode without leaving the editor.
If you're doing something that requires reading MSDN for three hours and a PE loader, we built this for you.
KMDF, WDM, NDIS, storport. Agent understands IRPs, IOCTLs, IRQL, PAGED vs NONPAGED pool.
CVE triage, exploit development, fuzz corpus curation, patch diffing. Writes what you need.
Unreal C++, custom engines, shader debugging, ECS scaffolding. Knows DirectX, Vulkan, Metal.
ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, FreeRTOS, Zephyr. Cross-compile, OpenOCD, SEGGER RTT, no-std aware.
Decompilation cleanup, structure recovery, YARA rules, packer unpacking, symbol recovery.
Spark, DuckDB, Iceberg, dbt, Airflow. SQL across 12 dialects. Schema migrations with tests.
We don't lock you to one provider or charge a markup on tokens. Route to whichever model makes sense for the task at hand.
Direct connection to major providers. Your keys, your rate limits, your invoices. No proxying through us.
Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio. Air-gapped workflows supported. Perfect for regulated environments or long flights.
Already paying for Claude Max? Hypex can reuse your Claude Code session as the agent backend. No second subscription.
The honest table. We're better at some things, worse at others. Here's the difference.

No per-token surcharges. No seat minimums. No sales call required.
Everything you need to ship, free forever when you bring your own keys or run local.
For teams that want sync, the marketplace, and someone to call when it breaks.
Public roadmap, updated monthly. We ship, we miss dates, we tell you when. No announced-never-shipped vaporware.
hypex is installable via Homebrew, apt, and winget. It runs headless agent tasks, integrates with shell pipelines, and shares configuration with the GUI editor.We're still in closed beta. Instead of fake testimonials, here's what we're waiting to hear back on — pulled from our design brief.
Real quote coming soon. We're asking beta testers who ship Windows drivers whether Hypex actually unblocked work that Cursor refused.
Real quote coming soon. Embedded C++ teams running local models on air-gapped machines are in the first cohort. We'll quote them when they're ready.
Real quote coming soon. Solo devs using their own Claude Code subscription inside Hypex — zero markup — are the heart of the BYOK story. Their words land here.
Honest placeholder. We refuse to ship fake social proof — the real quotes replace these at v1.0.
We're opening v1.0 seats in Q3 2026. Join the list and we'll email you with no marketing nonsense.
