Features

Built to start fast and stay out of your way

Pure Rust, one native binary

No runtime, no interpreter, no bundler — it compiles to a single executable that starts instantly and stays lean on memory, so it opens as quickly as your editor does.

It is a CLI, all the way through

Streaming answers, syntax-highlighted diffs, themes, and mouse support, all inside the terminal you already work in. Nothing to install but the binary.

Any OpenAI-compatible provider

OpenAI, Anthropic, or any endpoint that speaks the same API. Credentials are kept per provider, and you can switch between them at runtime.

Ships updates quickly

Releases are tag-driven: tag a version and CI produces prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. New features reach you without a long release cycle.
