What is it?

Athas is a code editor that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is built with Tauri, using a Rust backend and a React frontend, which keeps the application footprint small compared with Electron-based editors.

The editor covers everyday coding needs: syntax highlighting, LSP support, an integrated terminal, Git integration, and Vim keybindings. It also includes AI agents, database viewers, and collaboration features. An enterprise mode offers managed policy controls and an extension allowlist.

Installation options include a shell script, Homebrew, APT and DNF repositories, and manual downloads from GitHub Releases. Building from source requires Node.js, Bun, and Rust. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0, with separate commercial editions also mentioned.
