PhpStorm 2026.3 is here! 🎉 The new release ships with a bundled Air workspace for running your agents and reviewing their changes, PHP 8.6 support, and lots of quality-of-life improvements.
See our What’s New page for the complete list of key updates 👇
jetbrains.com/phpstorm/whats…
⬇️ Here’s what Air in PhpStorm can do.
Try it in the new 2026.3 release: jb.gg/ouzhij
we've completely rebuilt how AI agents work inside JetBrains IDEs
it's called Air, and starting with 2026.3 it ships with all our IDEs
Some features:
⛽︎ sign in with your existing ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or Google account. Claude subscriptions work in terminal view
⛽︎ or bring your own OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini API key for supported chat agents
⛽︎ agents work right next to your code, so you can jump into any file they touch without leaving the IDE
⛽︎ hit a limit mid-task? switch to another subscription or API key right in the session, the work keeps going
⛽︎ Claude Agent, Codex, Junie and Copilot work out of the box. add Gemini CLI, Antigravity, OpenCode, Pi and more from the ACP registry, or connect your own agent through ACP
⛽︎ run agents in parallel in separate Git worktrees, then cherry-pick their changes back
⛽︎ agents get the IDE's symbol search, rename refactoring, inspections and run configurations, plus the debugger in IntelliJ IDEA and CLion
⛽︎ Junie Lite is free with a JetBrains account
⛽︎ leave notes on code or diffs and send them to your agent, Claude Code and Codex terminal sessions included
⛽︎ set up MCP servers once for every new agent chat, add skills from folders or GitHub
⛽︎ see at a glance which agents are running and which are waiting for you, use Caps Lock is LED of agents status
⛽︎ review the last turn, roll back individual files
⛽︎ stuck in a merge conflict? hand it to an agent right from the merge dialog
⛽︎ save agent presets and pin the prompts you keep reusing
⛽︎ macOS, Windows, Linux. Remote Development over SSH, WSL and dev containers too
and yes, you can change the chat text size
and much more features are coming before NY

The Figma Connect plugin brings your @figma designs into PhpStorm, where you can use them as context for your coding agents. Its new Inspect panel shows the CSS, colors, and design tokens behind layers – without leaving the IDE.
Download the plugin: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin…
The IDE matters even more now that agents write the code.
You can debate us in the comments. 👇
An agent writes the code now. Do you still need an IDE?
You do if you want to understand and verify what the agent did.
🎥 In our new video, we talk about the role of an IDE now that humans aren't the only ones working on the code. youtu.be/AHFGMkzrfwM

If you open WSL projects in PhpStorm, just open them directly — that's Native mode, and it's the one we'd recommend as your default 🎯
Here's why we're confident in saying that: jb.gg/wsl-native-mode

PhpStorm 2026.2.1 is out, and it makes projects with multiple @WordPress roots index significantly faster ⚡️
The speedup comes from WordPress detection no longer triggering broad index rebuilds – hook indexing is now scoped precisely to your WordPress folders.
Update and feel the speed boost!
🚀 One tab for your whole Laravel project. Work with Artisan commands, error logs, and Laravel Cloud deployments – all without leaving PhpStorm.
