RustyNote is a professional desktop editor for people who work in text all day. Multi-file workflows, deep search, split views, syntax intelligence, and extensible tools—delivered as a fully native Windows and macOS application.
The editor, fully loaded
RustyNote keeps the familiar immediacy of a desktop text editor, then layers in the tools that serious work demands. Each feature is designed to stay close to the text.
Work your way
Move or clone tabs into independent split groups. Edits stay synchronized while each pane keeps its own caret, selection, focus, and scroll position.
Syntax intelligence
Tree-sitter highlighting, fold regions, brace matching, symbols, and completion for everyday languages.
Find the needle
Find, replace, mark, and search across open tabs, folders, or project panels—with regex modes, cancellable background work, and navigable results.
Your workspace
Open multiple workspace roots, quick-open indexed files, watch folders for changes, and keep document, function, project, and map panels docked where they help.
Extend the editor
A capability-scoped WebAssembly plugin model adds commands, menus, panels, syntax, completion, and editor actions while keeping the host in control.
Inside RustyNote
Real product captures with light mode front and center. Dark mode is available when you prefer a quieter canvas. Select any image to expand it.
Built for desktop
RustyNote is a ground-up Rust application: a fully native, GPU-rendered interface on Windows and macOS, a rope-backed document core, and background workers that keep expensive jobs away from the editing surface. The result is responsive, local-first software made for long working sessions.
