Switching from VS Code

From VS Code to an AI-native editor, without starting over.

Flintr is built on open-source Code OSS, so your extensions, themes and keybindings work as they are. One command brings your whole profile across.

What comes across

Everything you set up, carried over.

The import only reads your VS Code profile. Nothing is changed or deleted, so you can run both editors side by side.

  • Extensions from Open VSX
  • Themes and icon themes
  • Keybindings and settings.json
  • User snippets
  • Workspace and folder settings
  • MCP servers from your VS Code config

What's different

The parts you'll notice.

AI built into the editor

Multi-line Tab completions, inline edits and agents that run tests and open pull requests.

Every model in one plan

One subscription covers Claude, GPT, Gemini and open-weight models, with included usage.

Same extensions

Built on Code OSS, so the extensions you rely on keep working.

FAQ

Switching from VS Code, answered.

Do all VS Code extensions work?

Almost all do. Flintr installs extensions from Open VSX, which hosts most popular extensions. A few Microsoft-licensed extensions are only available in VS Code itself, and the import lists any it couldn't find.

Can I keep using VS Code too?

Yes. The import only reads your VS Code profile, so both editors keep working side by side.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Hobby will be free from the public beta onwards, with limited Tab completions and agent requests.

Switching from somewhere else? Cursor or Windsurf.
