How It Works

1. Main Process (main.ts): Creates the Electron window and handles IPC communication
2. Preload Script (preload.ts): Safely exposes limited Node.js APIs to the renderer
3. Renderer Process (src/renderer/): Handles UI logic, IDE detection, and launching

IDE Detection

The app checks standard installation paths for each IDE:

Windows:

• Cursor: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Cursor\Cursor.exe
• VS Code: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe
• Windsurf: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Windsurf\Windsurf.exe

macOS:

• Cursor: /Applications/Cursor.app
• VS Code: /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app
• Windsurf: /Applications/Windsurf.app
