- Graphviz: `.dot` / `.gv` files open beside a live preview (a web view rendering with Graphviz compiled to WebAssembly) in any layout engine, with zoom, pan, Fit and SVG / PNG export through the save dialog. What Graphviz reports goes from the page to the plugin's code, which publishes it as problems on the named line. A DOT language, file icons and a New Graphviz Graph template. - Regex Tester: a tool window whose html view sends pattern, flags, text and replacement as you type; the plugin matches with Rust's regex (linear time) and answers with matches, groups and the replacement in UTF-16 offsets. Use Selection and Test Selection take the editor's selection. - License Header: files without a copyright / SPDX header are reported when they open and on save; a quick fix and a command add one in the file's comment syntax (after a shebang or encoding line); a project scan in a background task reports the rest. Holder and license are settings. - Harbor Night becomes an official plugin and the one source of the theme files: `openidea-plugin new --template theme`, the theme docs and tests start from it. - Tool windows' renders and events carry the window's active editor, as commands do, so a view's buttons can act on what the user is editing. - knip leaves plugins' web pages (projects of their own) alone.
The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust.

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.
Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients, for 60+ languages. Builds for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Benchmark
Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:
| OpenIDEA | IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Window with the project | 0.9 s | 3.1 s |
| Ready (CPU settled) | 1.1 s | 13.2 s |
| Memory (USS, all processes) | 169 MB | 2011 MB |
| CPU time until ready | 2.4 s | 47.9 s |
| Idle CPU | 4 % of a core | 7 % of a core |
| Quit | 0.3 s | 5.9 s |
A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on
Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM.
IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on
both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see
perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.
