🍃 Saku Kaze

A high-performance, offline-first text editor built with Tauri v2, Rust, and Svelte 5.

Saku Kaze is a lightweight yet powerful code editor engineered for speed, reliability, and a deeply integrated developer experience. No network telemetry, no background AI overhead — just a pure, optimized tool designed to keep you in the flow state.

"Saku Kaze" (咲く風) — the blooming wind.

✨ Features

• True PTY Terminal — A fully integrated terminal powered by a custom Rust backend and portable-pty. Handles complex background processes, pipe disconnects, and standard I/O without crashing.
• Optimized Editor Engine — Powered by CodeMirror 6 with Svelte 5 Runes-based state management. Completely race-condition-free — keystrokes and file syncs stay perfectly aligned.
• Chunked File Streaming — Safely reads and streams large files (up to 50 MiB) using chunked Rust payloads, preventing UI freezes or main-thread blocking.
• Smart Auto-Save — Intelligent "Auto-Save on Run" ensures your code is always written to disk before execution.
• Saku Dark Theme — A bespoke dark aesthetic crafted for long coding sessions to minimize eye strain.
• Native OS Integration — Custom context menus and deeply integrated window management.
