Codify

Codify lets developers define their development environment as code and apply it across macOS, Linux, and WSL using a CLI or dashboard. It provides configuration-as-code (JSON/Codify files), a dashboard for managing and sharing team workspaces, and an AI Agent that can generate and apply configs from plain-English conversation. The product emphasizes reproducibility, team standardization, automation of installation steps, and open-source transparency—enabling faster onboarding and consistent local setups.

Declare your dev environment as code or describe it in plain English — Codify's AI agent sets everything up. Standardize Homebrew, Python, Node, and more across Mac and Linux.
