A code explainer for Windows

Which Windows

Windows 10 or Windows 11, on a 64-bit (x64) PC. The download is a single portable file, Unvibe-0.1.44-win-x64-portable.exe, that runs from wherever you save it.

To have Unvibe in your Start menu instead, open Windows PowerShell (not Command Prompt), paste this line and press Enter. It installs Unvibe, adds it to Start and opens it:

The first run

Unvibe is not signed with a paid certificate yet, so when you first run the .exe Windows may show a blue “Windows protected your PC” box. Press More info, then Run anyway. You only do this once.

Work and school PCs can hide the Run anyway button. If Smart App Control is on (Windows 11), it blocks unsigned apps like Unvibe and allows no exception for a single app.

Install help for Windows, and how to reach us

What Vibe can do with your code

• Explain it at the level you pick. New, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced are free; Expert comes with Pro.
• Quiz you with Test me: one question written about the lines you highlighted.
• Keep the lessons you want in your Library, saved on this PC.
• See what changed in your repo in a Change Brief, built on your PC at no cost (its AI explanation is Pro).
• Answer “Why does this exist?” from the git blame of those lines and the file's 8 most recent commits, read from the repository on your PC.

What leaves your PC

Only the request you make: the highlighted code with its file name and language (on Pro, some code around it for context), or, on Pro, the git changes you ask the AI to explain, and any question you type. A request with a key or token in it is stopped on your PC, and a possible one asks you first; since version 0.1.44 that check covers your questions and Chat messages too. Your repository is never uploaded.
