CodeKit helps you build websites faster and better. Its flagship features are listed below and the one-minute teaser video to the right is a good place to start.
Compile Everything
Process Less, Sass, Stylus, Jade, Haml, Slim, CoffeeScript, Javascript and Compass files automatically each time you save. Easily set options for each language.
Live Browser Reloads
Instantly see changes in your browser, with animation and without hitting the refresh button or installing plugins. Great for tweaking layouts!
Combine & Minify
Reduce load times by mashing Javascript & CoffeeScript files together and then minifying with Uglify.js. It's so easy, you'll giggle like a schoolgirl. Seriously.
Optimize Images
Losslessly reduce JPEG and PNG file sizes with one click and see the savings. One less thing to do at deployment. (More compression options coming soon!)
JSHint & JSLint
Makes debugging scripts fun and easy. Instantly find that one hanging comma that kills IE, or enforce coding styles and best practices across teams.
Team Collaboration
Sync project settings across teams and computers in an open JSON format. Keep everyone on the same page or easily jumpstart new sites.
Easy Frameworks
Keep just one copy of a file on your drive and easily use it across many projects without worrying about file paths. No more copying files into every new site.
It Just Works
There's nothing to install or configure. No mucking around the command line. Just run the app and start working. It's that easy.
Video Tutorials
Then, when you're ready to dig in and see CodeKit at full power, watch the video tutorials below. They're the fastest way to get up to speed!
Note: these videos were made using older, beta versions of CodeKit, so not everything in them is accurate. I'm working on new videos. In the meantime, these will still get you up and running.
Less, Sass & Stylus
8:51
See how CodeKit makes it dead simple to use Less, SASS, SCSS or Stylus as a replacement for pure CSS. If you've never used one of these languages, you're missing out!
JS + CoffeeScript Basics
6:41
Find mistakes in your Javascript with JSLint or JSHint, then minify it automatically. Compile CoffeeScript easily and debug in real time. Watch this video and start coding faster.
JS + CoffeeScript Imports
9:08
Ever wish Javascript had an @import statement? It does now. Combine and order files via drag-and-drop or with a single line of code. Have a change of pants ready.
Frameworks
7:49
Use the same files across multiple projects without duplicating them. Keep one copy up to date and all your projects can pull that code. Watch frameworks in action.
Image Optimization
2:05
Who likes fat image files? Nobody. Until now, optimizing images was a bit of a hassle. Now, it takes just one click to reduce the file size of every image in your site.
