What is CodeFrame?

tip

Ready to dive in? Head straight to the Get Started guide.

CodeFrame is the next-generation C++ build tool bringing speed, simplicity, and modern features you expect from tools like Bun or npm, to C++.

Our vision is simple but ambitious: one tool for any coding need — starting with the world’s most foundational language, C++. We won’t stop until it works for every developer, in every language.

Motivation & Philosophy​

CodeFrame was created to bring simplicity to C++ development, eliminating the overhead and frustration of complex setup, configuration, and tooling.

The goal is to make starting, building, and scaling projects as frictionless as possible.

Key Benefits:​

  • Simplicity: A project that truly values getting out of your way.

  • Full Control: Everything “just works” by default, but you still have complete access to all files and resources if you want to dig deeper.

  • Minimal Config, Smart Defaults: Start building immediately; tweak only when you need to.

Looking Ahead​

Our long-term vision is to open-source CodeFrame once the project’s community is strong enough to sustain ongoing development.
Until then, we’re focused on making CodeFrame rock-solid, modern, and truly useful for every developer.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.

Invitation to Join:​

We’re building CodeFrame in public. That means your feedback, ideas, and contributions shape where it goes next.

  • Follow the roadmap to see what’s coming.
  • Join the community to share ideas, report issues, and help improve the tool.
  • Spread the word if you believe C++ development deserves something better.

Together, we can make building in C++ faster, simpler, and a whole lot more enjoyable.
