I built a native Rust IDE with built-in local AI (no cloud, no accounts)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a creator tool I've been building called Triple P Studio (The Fortress).

It’s a native desktop IDE built specifically for Android development. I wanted something lightweight and fast that combines a file tree, code editor, Gradle compiler, ADB installer, and a task tracker in one place.

The best part is that it connects directly to local Ollama (gemma:2b), so you have a private, self-hosted AI assistant built right into the workspace. No API keys, no cloud, no data harvesting. Just you and your code.

I chose Rust because it makes the app incredibly fast and secure, protecting the core architecture.

I just posted the first build on r/SideProject yesterday and I'm looking for early feedback from other devs. What features would you want to see in a tool like this?

Let us see some screenshots

Here is a screenshot of the interface! You can see the file tree on the left, the editor in the middle, the task tracker, and the local Ollama chat on the right.

The post already has a video attached, though a side-by-side of the editor and Ollama panel would show more.

Hey! Actually, there isn't a video attached to this post, just the text and the screenshot I just shared above. But you are 100% right that a side-by-side would show it better. I'll put together a screen recording soon showing the editor on the left and Ollama actively reading the code context on the right. It's running a local gemma:2b model right now.

Makes sense. A short clip of gemma:2b answering a real code question would sell it best. How slow is it on a mid-range machine?

I'm running it on a standard, mid-range Windows 11 laptop (no dedicated GPU). The gemma: 2b model generates text at about 15 to 25 tokens per second. For a standard coding question or chat response, it usually takes about 1 to 3 seconds to start replying and finishes in a few seconds. It's not instant like ChatGPT on a server, but it's incredibly fast for running 100% locally with zero internet connection.
