Overview
The flagship IDE of the flock. CluckCode pecks through your project, highlights syntax in six shades of golden brown, and offers peck-based code completion that even a chick can use.
CluckCode is part of our Development Tools line, and it plays nicely with FeatherLint and Hatchback, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Write, compile, and debug with the precision of a rooster's peck.
Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.
Key features
- Scratch-and-sniff diagnostics point at the exact worm in your build.
- Telemetry is opt-in, and the only thing we collect is the sound of you clucking in frustration.
- CluckCode autocompletes in peck-sized increments, so you accept exactly as much code as you can digest.
- Hot-reload that is faster than a startled hen leaving a coop.
- Every error message is available in Standard English and Bawk.

What the flock says
Four stars because I like to leave room for improvement, and for another snack.
Setup took one afternoon, and the only thing we scratched was our heads, briefly.
Honestly better than the previous coop. Support answered within a cluck.
Frequently asked questions
Does CluckCode work with the rest of the Pollosoft flock?
Absolutely. Everything shares one identity (Cage-Free SSO), one billing account (BillOfLaying), and one deeply optimistic status page.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits?
We offer 50% off to non-profits, schools, and sanctuaries. Rescue hens get a free Chick plan for life.
How often is CluckCode updated?
Every two weeks, on a Tuesday, shortly after the rooster crows. Release notes live in the changelog.
