Welcome to PyCharm 2026.1. This release doesn’t just add features – it rethinks how you build, debug, and scale Python projects. From a brand-new debugging engine powered by debugpy to first-class uv support on remote targets and expanded JavaScript support in the free tier, this version is all about removing friction and letting you focus on your code. Whether you’re working locally, over SSH, or inside Docker, PyCharm now adapts to your setup instead of the other way around.

With PyCharm 2026.1, our core IDE experience continues to evolve as we now bring a broader set of professional-grade web tools to all users for free. Everyone, from beginners to backend-first developers, now has access to a substantial set of JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS features that were previously only available with a Pro subscription.

With PyCharm 2025.3.2, we’re bringing local IDE workflows and Colab-hosted notebooks together. Google Colab support is now available for free in PyCharm as a core feature, along with basic Jupyter notebook support.
