Developer teams use Confluence differently than marketing or HR. You document APIs, share architecture diagrams, write runbooks, and collaborate on code reviews. The default Confluence editor works, but it wasn't built for technical documentation.

This guide covers the best Confluence apps for developers in 2026, organized by use case. We built several of these apps at NGPILOT, so we'll be transparent about where our apps fit and where competitors offer better solutions.

Confluence's built-in code block macro is limited — it supports roughly 30 languages, has no dark theme, and lacks basic features like copy buttons and collapsible sections. If your team writes documentation with code snippets, you need something better.

This guide shows how to add a VS Code-grade code editor to Confluence with syntax highlighting for 85+ languages, automatic dark/light theme detection, and one-click copy buttons.

Modern Code Blocks adds a Monaco-powered editor and syntax highlighting for 85+ languages in Confluence. This article explains embedding, theming, and performance tips.

Engineering teams document APIs, share runbooks, and write code reviews in Confluence every day. But the built-in code macro hasn't kept up — limited language support, no dark mode, no line numbers, and a bare-bones editing experience.

Several third-party apps try to fill this gap. We built Modern Code Blocks for Confluence to bring the Monaco Editor (the engine behind VS Code) into Confluence pages. In this post we compare it against the alternatives so you can pick the right one.
