A modal editor, written in Odin end‑to‑end.

Features

• Modal editing

  Vim motions, operators and chords, multiple cursors, folding, persistent undo, registers.

• Language servers

  Diagnostics, go-to-definition, hover, completion, signature help, references and symbols.

• Debugger

  DAP via lldb-dap: breakpoints, stack, locals, watches and a memory view — plus Dart/Flutter through the VM service.

• Run & hot reload

  :run launches native binaries, Flutter with hot reload/restart, or plain Dart.

• Panes, tabs, sessions

  Splits and tabs, floating panes, and project sessions that restore layout, breakpoints and folds.

• Find anything

  Fuzzy file picker, command palette, project-wide grep, ctags jumps, inline git diff.

• AI chat

  A chat pane driving the claude, codex or gemini CLIs, with permission prompts.

• Scriptable

• Syntax highlighting

  C, C++, Odin, Rust, Dart, Swift, Lua, Python, Ada, Markdown, YAML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript.

Platforms

• Linux

  XCB and Wayland in one binary, Cairo/Pango drawing, OpenGL ES renderer.

• macOS

  AppKit + CoreText, with a Metal renderer.

• Windows

  Win32 + Direct2D/DirectWrite, with a D3D11 renderer.

• Browser

  The same core as WebAssembly on a canvas. Try it here.

On its own the browser demo is editing-only: files live in your browser's private storage (:open / :export move them in and out). To work on a real project, run editor-daemon --site in its directory and open the editor.pawsm.com link it prints: the same page then edits those files and runs language servers, git, the debugger and AI chat on your machine. Chrome and Edge ask once to let the page reach apps and services on your device; Firefox asks too, and again in each new tab and after 24 hours unless you tick “Remember my choice for this site”. In Safari, open the http://127.0.0.1 link it prints instead.
