In our latest update, v2026.02.0106, we are excited to announce official support for OpenCode as a first class AI agent, alongside significant improvements to how you start and manage your development tasks.
1. Welcome OpenCode
OpenCode is now fully integrated into the RexIDE ecosystem. Whether you are performing deep code migrations or quick refactors, you can now swap between Claude, Codex, and OpenCode with a single click.
In the Settings → Agents panel, you can now configure your specific OpenCode command (defaulting to opencode). RexIDE automatically detects your local installation, ensuring a seamless bridge between your terminal and the agent.
2. Streamlined Project Onboarding
We’ve redesigned the Open tab to focus on a terminal-first “quick start” flow:
- Path Autocomplete: Start typing your project path, and RexIDE provides intelligent suggestions from your local filesystem. No more manual browsing — just type and jump.
- Flexible Modes:
- Assistant: Select Claude, Codex, or the newly added OpenCode to start an AI driven session. The system defaults to a “Resume session” goal, getting you back to work immediately.
- Terminal: If you just need a shell, name your session (e.g., “Investigate auth timeout”) and RexIDE will open a dedicated terminal in that project’s context.
- Terminal Preview: Before you hit “Open,” RexIDE shows you exactly what command will be executed in the Terminal Preview panel (e.g.,
/opt/homebrew/bin/opencode "--continue"). This transparency ensures you know exactly which version and flags are being used.
3. State Aware Task Management
Once a project is open, it lives in your Tasks rail. Unlike traditional IDEs where switching projects often involves closing windows and losing state, RexIDE keeps your sessions alive and grouped by project.
In the task view, you can see real-time indicators for your agents. For example, when running an OpenCode session, you’ll see the number of new changes and PR status directly on the task card, keeping you informed across all active projects simultaneously.
4. Smarter Integration & Setup
We’ve refined how RexIDE interacts with your local environment to ensure OpenCode works out of the box. The project setup screen now automatically verifies your local installation, providing instant feedback if the tool is missing or needs configuration.
Additionally, we’ve improved session reliability. When you start a new task with an assistant, RexIDE now handles the terminal focus and configuration flags automatically, ensuring your environment is perfectly staged the moment you start working.
