Native Rust
Cold start under 20 milliseconds. Zero garbage collection, zero runtime overhead. The core is compiled native code.
Features
Nori combines the tools you already use into a single, fast surface.
A clean, responsive terminal surface with GPU-backed rendering, smooth scrollback, and zero input lag.
See containers, images, and compose stacks at a glance. Start, stop, and inspect without leaving your shell.
Live branch state, staged file counts, and visual commit graphs baked into the prompt line.
First-class remote sessions with state preservation, latency readouts, and integrated key management.
Switch between bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, and custom shells from a single menu.
Per-session CPU, memory, and I/O telemetry so you know exactly what your tools are costing you.
Tune backgrounds, opacity, blur, and accent colors to match your workspace mood.
Manage Git workflows and Docker operations through natural-language instructions. Create repos, handle PRs, build images, diagnose errors — no code changes.
Engineering
Three decisions define how Nori feels — fast, private, and reliable.
Cold start under 20 milliseconds. Zero garbage collection, zero runtime overhead. The core is compiled native code.
Every frame composited directly on the GPU. No Chromium, no DOM layout engine, no web-view abstraction.
Your session data, command history, and workspace state never leave your machine. No telemetry by default.
