Lightweight. Well equipped.

From reading the code to running the project, keep the essentials within reach.

AI writes the draft.
You own the details.

Read, navigate and refine code in a familiar Monaco editor. Check the first draft with completion, diagnostics and code navigation. Keep related files side by side with split editing.

Find one detail.
See the whole picture.

A name, a piece of logic, a loose end from an AI session. Search across files to understand the project, review matches in context and replace with confidence.

Your terminal.
Your way of working.

Run a development server, build the project or use the AI command line tools you already know. Tabs and split terminals give each task its own space.

AI makes a change.
You make the call.

Review changed files in source control and compare the code line by line. Understand what changed before you stage it. The final commit is still your decision.

Write Markdown alongside its live, formatted preview. Open images, audio and video inside your workspace, with fewer app switches between you and your work.

In the AI era, maybe most of the time you won't need an editor.
But I believe a lightweight editor still has a place.

For the moments when you still want to open the project, understand a change and shape that last line yourself. Less to carry. Just enough control.

A little editor. A lot within reach.

Keep a small place ready for your next idea.
