what you get

In build 1.0.0.

A C++23 core

GUI-independent: persistent Piece Table, mmap, snapshot model, atomic saving.

Fifteen plugins

Formats from plain text to images, tree-sitter, git, clangd, Markdown and HTML preview — switched on with a toggle.

Themes and appearance

Dark and light, Slate and Graphite directions, accent colours, window transparency.

Nothing extra

No account, no cloud, no mandatory telemetry. Files stay on disk.

before installing

Documents worth opening.

The licence and the notices are available without registration and without a cookie gate — a requirement of the LGPLv3 and GPLv3 licences the bundled components are distributed under.

after launching

Where to start.

  • Open the largest log you can find — watch the mode in the status bar.
  • Drop in a CSV: it opens as a table with a pinned header.
  • Enable the clangd plugin if you work with C or C++.
  • Pick a design direction: calm Slate or dense Graphite.
  • Look through the docs and the changelog.

download questions

Briefly.

Is it really free?

Yes: the core and the bundled plugins are free, with no account. Paid options — a Pro model, a plugin store — belong to the plans for after the public release, and there are no prices for them yet.

How is it installed?

On Windows, run The-1.0.0-setup.exe. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag The into Applications. Separate app-store packages will arrive with the release.

Chrome says the file isn't commonly downloaded.

The installer carries no code-signing certificate yet, so a browser has no download reputation to go on and says exactly that. The warning is about the missing signature, not about the contents of the file. Check it yourself: Get-FileHash The-1.0.0-setup.exe in PowerShell prints the SHA-256 above, character for character.

Which macOS build do I need?

Apple menu → About This Mac. A Chip line starting with Apple M means the -arm.dmg; a Processor line with Intel means the -x86_64.dmg.

Is there a Linux build?

Not yet. Windows and macOS are supported; the core does not depend on platform GUI, but no public Linux build exists.
