Crumbs 0.1.0 — early preview

The project is now PaperCraft. The renamed app, original paper-crane logo and MIT license are available in v0.1.1. This original Crumbs archive and its published license grant are retained.

First public preview of the original Rust/egui Crumbs editor.

• One artboard with rectangle and text layers, a layer list, property inspector, drag/resize, pan/zoom, ordering, hide/lock, and undo/redo.
• Validated local .crumbs files, unsaved-change prompts, atomic saves, and standalone HTML export.
• Dashboard with recent documents, search, thumbnails, and grid/list views.

Download Crumbs-0.1.0-macos-arm64.zip, unzip it, and move Crumbs.app to Applications. This build is for Apple Silicon and was verified on macOS 27.0.1. It is ad-hoc signed and not notarized; macOS may require approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security after the first launch attempt. No Rust or Node.js installation is required to run the app.

SHA256SUMS contains the archive checksum. With both files in the same directory, verify it using shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.

Validation passed: formatting, 3 Rust unit tests, 9 integration tests, Clippy with warnings rejected, the research tooling integration test, an optimized build, native editor/dashboard rendering, save/reopen and HTML export assertions, packaged-app launch, archive extraction, and signature validation. Verification details.

This is an early preview. Native file-dialog clicks, a complete manual editing session, screen-reader interaction, and macOS approval prompts on a separate downloaded installation remain unverified. Finder document associations and automatic updates are not configured. Keep backups of valuable documents while testing. HTML typography can differ from the native editor.

Windows, Linux and Intel macOS downloads are not included. Images, SVG, nested layouts, multiple artboards, Paper document compatibility, collaboration and a local MCP interface are outside this version.

Original Crumbs code and documentation, including the original code in this v0.1.0 release, are now available under either MIT or Apache-2.0, at your option. The license files are attached to this release and linked from the repository. Third-party dependency, Rust library, font and icon notices retain their own terms.

License update, 18 October 2026: the original application ZIP and its checksum are unchanged. Its bundled README predates the license decision. SHA256SUMS.txt is an alias of the existing checksum file.

Crumbs is an independently maintained companion targeting the Craft app ecosystem. The interoperability plan covers SVG/PNG exchange, shared Rust utilities and command-based automation. These adapters are planned, and Crumbs is not included in the official Craft Launcher catalog. Raw research and local agent configuration remain excluded from the repository.
