Desktop IDE for small teams that keeps issues, docs and test runs together with the code
Tempo started in 2025 as a visual builder for React apps, with Figma import and drag-and-drop editing. In 2026 it became a desktop IDE for small teams: issues, docs and test runs sit next to the code, so a team of one to five people does not need a separate tracker and wiki.
The free plan allows 250 issues, 100 docs and 500 local test runs a month with a seven-day history. Pro, at a flat $50 a month for one user, removes the issue and doc limits, raises tests to 5,000 a month and keeps 90 days of history; Team covers five users for $200 a month. For a founder working alone, the question is whether issues and docs inside the editor are worth more than a free tracker such as Linear’s free plan.
Best for Small software teams that want issues, docs and test runs in one desktop IDE.
