| Licence | The opened official pages do not state an open-source licence for StarkIDE. | Tidet Desktop is distributed under a revocable, non-exclusive licence; the terms prohibit reverse-engineering non-open components and redistributing binaries. |
| Maker | The product is built by Gabriel Lozano, identified on the About page as founder. | The site identifies the company as TIDET Corp. |
| Product | StarkIDE is a desktop IDE for running coding agents alongside project tools in one window. | Tidet describes itself as an agentic IDE that keeps an agent run’s plan, actions, diff, evidence, and cost in one reviewable record. |
| Self-hosting | The product is documented as a local desktop application; no self-hosted StarkIDE server deployment is described. | Tidet supports self-hosted model infrastructure through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, vLLM, LM Studio, llama.cpp and local Ollama, but the desktop product itself is proprietary. |
| What it does | StarkIDE is a native desktop IDE for supervising AI coding agents alongside editing, Git, databases, storage, browser previews, tasks and notes. | Tidet is an agentic IDE that keeps plans, actions, diffs, validation evidence and cost records together while agents work on local repositories and infrastructure. |
