Features

Built for the way developers actually work.

No bloat, no telemetry, no popups asking you to upgrade. Just a fast editor that respects your attention and gets sharper the more you use it.

Native-first architecture

Built with a Rust engine and WebView host (`tao` + `wry`). Zero React/Vite in the shipped path. Sub-second cold starts with JSON IPC bridging the native OS to the vanilla TypeScript shell.

Command Palette & Settings

A lightning-fast ⌘P palette for rapid navigation. A full-page, searchable settings view configured entirely via JSON.

AI

Tupã Composer & Agents

A real AI Agent panel with streaming transcripts and MCP-backed flows. Deep integration with local LLMs (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio) or cloud endpoints via ⌘L.

🔍

Workspace Diagnostics

LSP diagnostics mapped natively to the UI. Live problem counts in the status bar and inline error overlays.

📐

Designed by a developer

Vim mode, Outline panel, and an intuitive breadcrumb navigation. Configurable to your bone with sane defaults.

🔒

Local-first, private

No telemetry. Code never leaves your machine unless you explicitly invoke cloud AI. Sync config securely via iCloud.
