About RubyMine
RubyMine is JetBrains' IDE for Ruby and Ruby on Rails. It has context-aware navigation to declarations, implementations, tests and usages, syntax highlighting and autocompletion, and a graphical debugger for both Ruby and JavaScript.
It includes AI features that can use JetBrains AI credits, a local model or your own subscriptions and API keys, with agents such as Junie, Claude Agent and Codex. It is free for non-commercial use, and commercial use requires a paid license.
