Questions
The answers most people ask for first.
Including the one that matters most: no, it is not available yet.
Is Appvecta available now?
No. It is in active development. The private alpha is targeted for January 2027.
Does my code leave my machine?
Not for Brain features — indexing, the graph, search, trace and impact are entirely local. Code leaves only when you send it to an AI provider you configured, and the setup screen shows exactly what is sent. There is no Appvecta server in the first release.
Do I need an Appvecta account?
No. The Community edition needs no account and no network.
Do I need an AI subscription?
No. The Brain, Run, Device Hub and QA work with no AI provider at all. If you want the agent, you bring your own — an installed Claude Code or Codex CLI, an API key, or a local Ollama model.
Will it use my existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Only through the provider's own officially supported login or CLI. Appvecta never scrapes browser sessions or reuses subscription tokens, and does not promise that every consumer subscription can act as an API.
Does indexing run my build?
No. Building the Brain reads files only. It never executes Gradle, Flutter or a project script. Only Run, Build and Test execute build logic, and the interface says so first.
Does it support iOS?
Not in the first release. Flutter is supported on Android first. iOS requires macOS-only tooling, Xcode, signing and simulator control, and is a separate later milestone.
Is it a replacement for Android Studio?
No. It does not provide Layout Inspector, advanced profilers, Compose Preview or full Gradle project modelling. It is an AI-native environment for understanding, changing and verifying mobile projects.
Can I use it in regular VS Code?
Yes. The extension runs in stock VS Code 1.103 or newer. The branded distribution adds branding and defaults; it never becomes required.
What happens if the AI gets it wrong?
Nothing is written without your approval for multi-file edits, patches are validated before they are applied, every task keeps a checkpoint, and "Revert this task" restores only that task’s changes while preserving your unrelated edits.
How much will it cost?
The Community edition is free. Paid edition pricing is not finalised.
