Codelobster is a portable integrated development environment (IDE) primarily for PHP, which also supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript development.[2] Plug-ins are available for Drupal, WordPress, Smarty, Joomla, JQuery, Facebook, Codeigniter, Yii, and CakePHP.[3]

Free registration by email is required after 30 days of use of the program,[4] and there are paid versions also ("Lite" and "Professional") for additional features.[5] The program is missing a help system as of its latest version.[6] There is also special "PHP edition" distro only for Windows, that was not updated since 2019.

The program features syntax highlighting and auto-completion for SQL, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML, as well as automatic syntax checking.[2] There is an HTML and CSS inspector like Firebug.[7] It also includes Drupal support. All plugins are paid, but they offer trial periods of varying length.[6]

Since the activation servers have been shut down, it is no longer possible to activate the program to use the Pro features. Unfortunately, the developers did not provide an pre-activated version before discontinuing the product. There's also no official activation-patch available.
