Strata 1.0: a fast, open-source code and text editor for macOS and Windows. Native, written in Rust, built for the keyboard. No accounts, no telemetry.

Strata

Downloads

Platform File
macOS 11+, any Mac (Apple silicon + Intel) Strata-1.0.0-universal.dmg
macOS, Apple silicon only (smaller) Strata-1.0.0-arm64.dmg
Windows 10/11, x64 (portable, nothing to install) Strata-1.0.0-windows-x64.zip

The .app.zip files and latest.json are for the built-in updater; you don't need them.

First launch

  • macOS: signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. Open the DMG and drag Strata to Applications.
  • Windows: unzip anywhere and run Strata.exe. The exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info ▸ Run anyway.

Already on 1.0.0-rc.1? Choose Help ▸ Check for Updates… to update in place.

Checksums: macOS shasum -a 256 -c <file>.sha256; Windows Get-FileHash <file> and compare with the .sha256.

Privacy: Strata only contacts GitHub to check for and download updates, and only if you allow it (it asks once). Nothing else is sent.

Known limitations

  • Screen readers can't read the editor area yet (keyboard-only use is fully supported).
  • Linux isn't an official platform yet (it builds from source).
  • No complex-script shaping (Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari); emoji are monochrome.

Strata 1.0, the first stable release: a fast, open-source code and text editor
for macOS and Windows. It contains everything in 1.0.0-rc.1 below, tested on
macOS and on Windows.

Changed since 1.0.0-rc.1

  • The Windows build has been tried on real hardware.
  • Release builds from CI refuse to publish unless they can be signed.

Highlights

  • Multiple cursors, Goto Anything, the command palette, and find and replace
    across whole projects with undo.
  • Split panes, multiple windows, several views of one file, and projects with
    several folders.
  • A built-in terminal, live Markdown preview, side-by-side compare, build
    systems, Git change bars and permalinks, spell check, printing and PDF.
  • About 190 languages, 35 color schemes, bundled coding fonts, EditorConfig
    and per-language settings, and a Settings window.
  • Hot exit, atomic saves, crash recovery and fast large-file handling.
  • Signed, opt-in updates from inside the app (Help ▸ Check for Updates…).

Full feature list: see CHANGELOG.md and the 1.0.0-rc.1 notes.
