brain

A native code editor / IDE whose entire UI is pure Krypton. On macOS via Objective-K and Choc (no Obj-C / Swift source); on Windows via stdlib/gui.k over the Win32 IAT. A real native app on Mac, a real Win32 app on Windows — driven by Krypton functions. Pairs with the stem terminal.

A code editor, written in Krypton

File tree, tabs, live syntax highlighting and a Run button — the VS Code basics, with zero Objective-C source.

Live syntax highlighting

Colours keywords, strings and comments as you type, via an NSTextStorage delegate that is itself a Krypton function.

File tree + tabs

An NSTableView sidebar (Krypton data source) lists the folder; multi-file tabs (NSSegmentedControl) keep each document's text.

Open / Save / Run

⌘O / ⌘S, and ⌘R compiles the open file with kcc and shows the output. New / Close tab, a full Edit menu.

Integrated console

A bottom pane runs shell commands and shows their output, next to the editor.

Pure Objective-K UI

Window, text view, table data sources, menus and delegates are all driven by Krypton funcs — the same Choc layer stem is built on.

Tiny & self-contained

A single Mach-O, ad-hoc signed, no runtime dependency.

Install

macOS on Apple Silicon (Tahoe).
