The best Replit alternative for developers
Keep the speed of prompting an AI to build your app. Add the editor, terminal, GitHub workflow, and deploy pipeline you need once the project gets real.
CloudCode is a browser-based AI app builder and cloud IDE where the Claude Code Agent writes and fixes your code next to a live preview. It pairs that agent with a real code editor, a git-aware terminal, GitHub push, pull and pull requests, a bring-your-own Supabase workflow, and one-click Vercel deploys, so you own a standard React codebase from the first prompt.
Why people switch
Why teams look for a Replit alternative
You're focused on React web apps
CloudCode is purpose-built for React + TypeScript frontends, with an in-browser bundler preview that recompiles on every change.
You want an agent you can watch
CloudCode's agent maps your project, edits multiple files per turn, shows every tool step as it works, and keeps a version history of every file it changes.
You want Vercel deploys
Ship to Vercel with one click — no Vercel account needed — and track deployment history per environment.
You want a portable backend
Use Supabase for Postgres, auth, and storage, so your data lives in a project you own.

FAQ
Replit alternative: common questions
What is a good Replit alternative for React apps?
CloudCode is built specifically for React + TypeScript web apps, combining the Claude Code Agent, live in-browser preview, GitHub workflow, Supabase support, and one-click Vercel deploys.
Does CloudCode have a terminal?
Yes. CloudCode includes a lightweight in-browser terminal for working with your project files and for git commands backed by GitHub. It isn't a container, so builds and tests run on your machine or in CI.
Where are CloudCode apps hosted?
CloudCode deploys your app to Vercel. If your app needs a backend, it runs in your own Supabase project.
