README
crc
[](https://github.com/caioricciuti/crc/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://github.com/caioricciuti/crc/releases/latest) [](LICENSE) [](https://crceditor.com)
A text editor for macOS, drawn on the GPU straight from Metal and CoreText, with a terminal, local Git and Claude Code built in.
**Alpha.** It is used daily by its author and is now going to a small group of testers. Passing tests are not a stability guarantee; known problems are in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/caioricciuti/crc/issues). Why the project exists is in [docs/vision.md](docs/vision.md).
The number
Measured on 2026-09-24 for `v0.2.0-alpha.1`, with a 100 MiB file and the caret halfway through 2.7 million lines:
| Scope | Keystroke to GPU completion, p99 | Budget |
|---|---|---|
| Editor viewport | 0.803 ms | 8.333 ms |
| Editor with native toolbar, sidebar, tabs and status | 1.009 ms | 8.333 ms |
Reproduce both:
cargo run --release --offline --example frame_latency
cargo run --release --offline --example frame_latency -- --chrome
The harness measures buffer mutation, layout, draw encoding and GPU completion. It excludes event delivery before the app and display scanout, so it is not a camera-measured input-to-photon result. Results vary by machine.
Requirements
- An Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later. There is no Intel build in the alpha and no plan for Linux or Windows; see Design decisions.
- Nothing else. Language servers are optional and found if installed.
Install
Download the DMG from the latest release, open it, drag crc to Applications. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized,
