Banana Code

The AI coding IDE that replaced my $20/month Cursor subscription.

Free IDE + CLI Mobile Cloud App Local AI Models
Try It Free Watch Demo

You're paying $500/month for tools that barely work together.

Sound familiar? There's a better way.

You're paying for tools you barely use

→ $50/mo here, $100/mo there -- it adds up to thousands per year

Your tools don't talk to each other

→ Manual data entry, CSV exports, and integration nightmares

Locked into monthly subscriptions forever

→ Miss a payment and your whole workflow breaks

One-size-fits-all software that doesn't fit

→ You adapt to the tool instead of the tool adapting to you

No control over your own data

→ Your business lives on someone else's servers, under their rules

Scaling means more SaaS bills

→ More users, more seats, more "enterprise tier" upgrades

What if you owned your entire stack — and it was completely free?

WHO'S BUILDING THIS STUFF

Matt Johnston // Builder & Vibe Coder

I'm Matt Johnston.

I spent years in marketing — agencies, consulting, the whole thing. Got really good at strategy. Got really tired of the tools.

Then I discovered vibe coding. Turns out, if you can describe what you want, AI can help you build it. So I started building.

The Bridge (CRM). Banana Code (mobile dev). AssistantOS (AI employee). VibeCanvas (creative). I replaced my entire $500/mo stack with apps I own.

Now I'm open sourcing all of it. Not because I'm a saint — because it's the best way to build a brand and help people at the same time.

Take the tools. Watch the videos. And if you want me to build something custom? I do that too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the tools and how to use them.

Yes. MIT licensed. No "free trial" bait-and-switch. Clone the repos, deploy them, modify them. You own the code. No credit card, no signup wall, no catch.

Describe what you want in plain English, and AI helps you build it. Every tool in this arsenal was built that way. You don't need to be a traditional developer -- you just need to know what you want.

For basic deployment, no -- most tools have one-click deploy options. For customization, basic comfort with a terminal helps, but AI handles the heavy lifting. That's the whole point of vibe coding.

The Prompt is my weekly newsletter. One email, every week. The AI tricks I actually use, what I shipped, and the shortcuts nobody's talking about. No fluff, no courses, no upsells. Just signal.

Absolutely. MIT license means commercial use is fine. Deploy them for yourself, white-label them for clients, or use them as a starting point for something custom. No restrictions.

I take on select custom projects -- apps, websites, full-stack builds. Use the inquiry form below to describe what you need, and I'll let you know if it's a fit.

Open a GitHub Issue on the specific repo -- I respond to all of them. YouTube tutorials walk through each tool in detail. Community Discord is coming soon for real-time help.

Most use React/Next.js for frontend, Supabase for backend, and Vercel for hosting. All modern, all well-documented. Check each repo's README for specific details and deploy instructions.
