Starting a new project is a snap
Feeling adventurous or just want to learn? Try creating a new project and push your creative boundaries!
Git Integration
Already have a project for which you want to contribute? Simply enter the URL of the git repository and you're on your way.
Application Profiling
Keep your application running fast with Builder's integrated profiler, powered by Sysprof.
Application Debugger
Builder includes a modest debugger to help you track down those troubled logic errors.
Take Control with the Command Bar
Command line interfaces are great so Builder bakes one right in. A lot of Builder's features can be alternatively accessed via the command bar, and it even has tab completion!
Tweak all the things!
We know you're as creative with your preferences as you are with your code so Builder makes tweaking things quick and easy. You can search across application preferences and plugins with just a couple of key strokes.
