AI Code Explanation Plugin
What is TLDR?
TLDR is a plugin for your IDE that explains code in plain English. It uses AI to understand the code and then explains it in simple terms to help you grasp what the code does quickly, especially when reading unfamiliar or complex code.
How does the plugin work?
Your selected code is sent to our servers where the AI processes it and returns a plain-English explanation of the code.
Does it work with all languages?
Yes — it supports most languages, with the note that there may be rare exceptions. If you have a language that isn’t supported, please let us know.
Is TLDR free?
There is a rate-limited free version you can try directly in your IDE. Paid plans are available to increase usage limits and provide additional features.
What pricing options are available?
- Free: rate-limited access to try the plugin (limited API credits).
- Individual: $4.90 per user per month or $49 per user per year, with standard rate limits and email support.
- Organization: $9.90 per user per month or $99 per user per year, with priority email support.
Notes: Plans are accessed via the JetBrains plugin marketplace. The pricing listings indicate that plan names and benefits include rate limiting and support levels.
How can I pay?
You can install and upgrade to the paid version via the JetBrains plugin marketplace, which handles billing.
Where can I download the plugin?
From the JetBrains plugin marketplace. We’re also working on adding support for additional IDEs and more payment methods in the future.
What does gracefully rate limited mean?
The AI system imposes limits on request size and the number of requests per month. You’re unlikely to hit these limits, but if you do, contact us and we’ll sort it out.
Are all explanations 100% correct?
The AI is in beta and may not always be correct. Explanations are improving over time, and some requests that don’t work today may be resolved in the future.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription at any time via the JetBrains plugin marketplace.
What is included in the free plan?
The free version comes with limited API credits to try the plugin and get started easily. It is rate-limited.
What support is included with paid plans?
- Individual: Email support.
- Organization: Priority email support.
Does TLDR support IDEs other than JetBrains?
Currently, the plugin is available via the JetBrains plugin marketplace. Support for other IDEs is planned, as is expanding payment method options.
