Case Study

crane

Native GPU-rendered terminal + IDE environment.

A native, GPU-rendered desktop dev environment in pure Rust. Orchestrates terminals, editors, and git workflows across isolated git worktree-backed workspaces. No Electron, no web runtime, single binary.

Why Native

Most modern dev tools ship Electron and call it a desktop app. Crane is a single binary. Pure Rust on egui + wgpu, GPU-rendered, no web runtime, no FFI. Every render goes through the GPU, every byte of memory is accounted for. Built for engineers who'd rather feel the machine than admire it.

Open Source

crane is fully open source on GitHub. Contributions, issues, and feedback are welcome.
