Eclipse Code debugging a Node.js file with a breakpoint, variables and call stack

Everything you need to write code

Focused on the essentials, with the details done right.

Multiple projects, one window

Open several folders as tabs. Each project keeps its own files, explorer and terminals, so nothing gets mixed up.

Integrated terminal

Real terminals per project with full UTF-8 support. Add more with a single click and keep processes running in the background.

Node.js debugger

Set breakpoints in the gutter, step through code, inspect variables, watch expressions and use the debug console.

Problems panel

See syntax errors and warnings across your open files and jump straight to them.

Themes you will like

Eight color themes including Dracula, Monokai, Nord and Solarized. Dark by default.

Your shortcuts

Defaults follow Visual Studio Code, and every shortcut can be changed in the settings.

Handles any text

Accents, symbols and emoji work out of the box. Legacy encodings such as Windows-1252 are detected and preserved.

Five languages

The interface and menus are available in English, Portuguese, French, German and Spanish.

Debugging

Find bugs faster, without leaving the editor

Click the margin to set a breakpoint, run your Node.js file and step through it line by line.

Variables, watch expressions and call stack
Debug console to evaluate code while paused
F5, F10 and F11 work just like you expect

Installing

macOS

Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Eclipse Code to Applications.
macOS blocks the app the first time because Apple has not notarized it yet: open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway (on older macOS, right-click the app and choose Open). If macOS still says the app is damaged, run this in the Terminal:
xattr -cr "/Applications/Eclipse Code.app"

Windows

Run the downloaded installer and follow the steps.
If SmartScreen appears, click More info and then Run anyway (the app is not signed yet).

Frequently asked questions

Is Eclipse Code really free?

Yes. It is free to download and use, with no account or sign-up.

How do I know which Mac I have?

Open the Apple menu → About This Mac. Eclipse Code requires an Apple Silicon Mac (“Chip: Apple M…”); Intel Macs are not supported.

Which languages can I debug?

The built-in debugger supports Node.js (JavaScript). Syntax highlighting is available for many more languages.

Can I verify my download?

Yes. Every download lists its SHA-256 checksum. Compare it with the output of shasum -a 256 (macOS) or Get-FileHash (Windows).
