AsterIDE

v1.6.1-stable

A Simple Text Editor written in Rust. Built for Simplicity and Ease on the eyes.

What Sets Us Apart

A Text Editor that respects both your time and your eyes.

Responsive

Open files in milliseconds. Edit large files without lag. Your time is valuable.

Eye Candy

Cherry Blossom and Rosé Pine themes designed for long coding sessions. No eye strain, just focus.

Cross Platform

AsterIDE supports macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and Nix. Soon coming to Linux.

Optimized

Because AsterIDE is made in Rust, it makes it easy to opitimize memory usage.

OUR Philosophy

1

Simplicity First, Features Second

Every feature must be able to justify its existence. If it doesn't make editing better or easier, it doesn't belong.

2

Built to Last

No telemetry. No forced updates. No Accounts. Just a minimal application built for long term use.

3

Easy on the Eyes

A Text Editor shouldn't strain your eyes, when you're sitting there coding for hours, you don't want your eyes to hurt, so we made sure that wouldn't happen.

4

Community Driven

Because AsterIDE is Open Source, you're part of the project. The code is Public.

What we believe.
“I feel like a text editor should be exactly what it's name suggests, it doesn't need to be overcomplicated, it doesn't need to be filled with all sorts of random features no one will use, it just needs to be able to edit text, and do so without being too difficult.”
— The Founder
