Positron is the free code editor made for data science and analysis with Python, R, and you.
Purpose-built for data science
Move from exploration to production with the full power of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Execute code interactively in a native console or notebook, explore data, view variables and dataframes, create visualizations, train models, build apps, and access everything else you need to stay in the flow.
Rapid data app development
Build and preview Shiny, Streamlit, Dash, and other data and AI apps right next to your code, with no additional configuration. Publish to Posit Connect in seconds with Posit Publisher.
AI that works with you, not replaces you
Positron’s AI acts like your expert assistant, not an artificial replacement. Ask Positron Assistant to help write and refine your code, or guide the Databot agent through an exploratory analysis. All you need is an Anthropic API key.
