About Objo Studio

Objo Studio is a complete development environment - visual designer, code editor, debugger and build system, all in one window. Write your app once and deploy it to macOS, Windows and Linux from a single codebase. Everything centres around an easy-to-use language called ObjoBasic. It's a statically typed, object-oriented language with clean BASIC-like syntax. Everything is an object. Define classes with inheritance and interfaces, add properties, methods, events and enumerations. Organise shared code in modules. Write documentation comments and see them surface in autocomplete and hover tooltips throughout the IDE. It's Visual Designer lets you build your user interface by dragging and dropping from a comprehensive library of built-in controls such as buttons, text fields, list boxes, tree views, tab panels, charts, date pickers, colour pickers and more. Set properties in the inspector and see changes instantly. Anchor controls to window edges so your layout resizes gracefully. Drop non-visual components like audio players and timers onto the shelf and wire them up in code. What you see in the designer is what your users get. It has an intelligent code editor, purpose-built for ObjoBasic. Autocomplete suggests members as you type, with full parameter hints. Jump to any symbol definition instantly. Code folding keeps large methods manageable. The auto-formatter tidies spacing and keyword casing as you work, so your code stays consistent without thinking about it. Switch between light and dark themes, and customise every syntax colour to suit your preferences. Objo Studio has a professional grade debugger. Set breakpoints on any line, add conditions so they only fire when an expression is true, and step through your code with Step Over, Step Into, Step Out or Run to Cursor. Inspect every variable in scope and read the call stack to understand exactly how you got here. Break on exceptions to catch problems the moment they happen. Truly cross-platform. Build for any desktop target from a single codebase: Windows x64 and ARM, macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, Linux x64 and Linux ARM. Develop on any OS and target any OS. Need to debug a Linux app from your Mac? Connect to a remote machine over the network and debug it as if it were running locally. The IDE itself runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. When you're ready to ship, just click "Build". Objo Studio compiles your project to bytecode, bundles everything into a single self-contained executable - no runtime to install, no dependencies to manage. Pick your target platform and go. On macOS you get a native .app bundle. On Windows, a standalone .exe. On Linux, a single binary. Studio even supports packaging, signing and notarisation. Objo Studio supports professional development with remote debugging. Install the Objo remote agent on any machine on your network and it appears automatically via zero-configuration discovery. Deploy your app's bytecode over TCP, attach the debugger, and step through code running on a different OS as if it were local. Debug a Linux server app from your Mac or a Windows desktop app from Linux - full breakpoints, variable inspection and stepping, all over the network. Objo Studio integrates with Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini - local or cloud, your choice. The AI can read your project structure, inspect source files, check compilation errors, search your code and even make edits, all through a chat panel in the IDE. Give it per-project instructions to tailor its behaviour. Prefer to work without AI? Just leave it off - it's entirely optional.

It's early days but I know quality when I see it. Anyone looking for an approachable but substantive learning environment for software development should consider this.

A major drawback of this solution is that it does not use native controls in the apps. This means there is no support for Cocoa (macOS), WinUI (Windows), and GTK (Linux) apps.

C
@contact4488

@neu1886 That's not necessarily a drawback. In my experience, creating cross-platform apps is very difficult from a single codebase with native controls. Usually leads to lots of hacks and the lowest common denominator. Objo solves that.

@contact4488 The GUI frameworks that use the same controls on all platforms are far cleaner. Plus in the era of web apps I doubt that many users have a fetish about everything looking exactly like their favorite OS, if they even have one.

@neu1886

@bobgrommes I think you're underestimating some of the macOS and WinUI users.

Objo Studio is the culmination of several years of passionate work to build a tool I'm proud of. It's a great way to get into programming and to build real apps that do real work.
