Quark IDE is a desktop development environment focused on Hydrogen projects, bringing editing, project tools and building together in one workspace.

Meet Quark

Quark is the place where your ideas start to become software. It is Aurora Softwares’ integrated development environment (IDE), designed around working with Hydrogen projects.

An IDE brings together the tools you need to write and manage code. Quark aims to make that experience feel organised, approachable and at home on the desktop.

What’s inside?

  • A place to write: edit source files and navigate your project.
  • Project tools: open workspaces and organise files.
  • Build and run: work with the Hydrogen compiler from your development environment.

Quark is under active development and its features can change between versions.
