// how it works

How it works

  1. Install it

    Package managers, install scripts, or app stores on every OS.

  2. Configure lightly

    Sane defaults work; dotfiles make it yours.

  3. Learn the keys

    A weekend of muscle memory pays off for years.

  4. Extend it

    Plugins and themes from huge community ecosystems.

// features

Why people love it

Python ecosystem

Built on Python, so it plugs into the wider data and ML tooling ecosystem.

Blazing fast

Native code and smart design keep everything instant.

Keyboard-first

Hands stay on keys; the mouse becomes optional.

Open & hackable

Customize prompts, tools, and behavior; no black box.

Diff-first workflow

Every change is a reviewable diff — you stay in control.

Model flexibility

Swap between frontier APIs and local models per task.
