Qoder Desktop Renamed to Qoder IDE

Notice

Starting with version 1.24.0, the app’s display name is now Qoder IDE. This change does not affect existing features, user data, billing, or agreements.

[Upcoming Change] Installation directory and executable names will also be updated in version 1.25.0 (effective August 18, 2026)

In next week’s 1.25.0 release, the installation directory and executable names will be updated as follows:

  • macOS: Path updated to Qoder IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Qoder
  • Windows: Installation directory updated to Qoder IDE, executable updated to Qoder IDE.exe
  • Linux: Package name updated to qoder-ide, executable path updated to /usr/share/qoder-ide/qoder-ide

If your organization relies on security allowlists, automated deployment, or software distribution controls, please update the relevant path configurations before August 18 to avoid any impact from next week’s release.
