Qt Creator

Qt Creator is an IDE for making applications for desktop, embedded, and mobile systems, as well as web browsers. It supports work from project setup and interface design through coding, building, deployment, running, and debugging. The editor offers semantic highlighting, syntax checks, code completion, search, and refactoring. It understands C++ and QML, with some Python language services when a language server is available. Build integrations cover CMake, qmake, Qbs, and Autotools; generic projects can use configurable build commands. Integrated debuggers and analysis tools can help investigate memory leaks, profile execution, and analyze CPU use. Testing support includes Boost.Test, Catch2, Google Test, Qt Quick Test, Qt Test, and CTest. Qt Creator supports AI agents; its documentation lists GitHub Copilot and an MCP Server extension. An open-source version is available at free, subject to LGPL/GPL obligations for Qt framework use. Qt’s commercial evaluation lasts 10 days and is for evaluation, not production or product development. Commercial use requires an active license for each developer, and Qt-based device distribution may also need licenses.
