ICEcoder is a free browser-based code editor for building, testing, and maintaining websites. It can run online or offline and is accessed through a modern browser. Editing tools include live editing, multiple selections, code assist, code folding, bracket matching, and automatic indentation. Its find-and-replace builder searches current or open documents, files, and filenames, using plain text or regular expressions. Built-in tools cover terminal, database, and Git management, and users can install or create plugins with web languages. ICEcoder also provides a JavaScript API for customization and plugin development. It requires an Apache or similar web server and PHP 7.0 or newer; plugin installation requires ZipArchive on the server. The manual lists Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer 11 or newer. Downloads are available through Git, Docker, Composer, Bash, ZIP, and EXE formats. Multiple users are supported, but ICEcoder does not isolate security between them and is intended for trusted developer teams. Its IDE framework is MIT licensed, though some components have separate licenses.
