Rune is a fast, GPU-accelerated, full-featured IDE and terminal multiplexer, suitable both for automatic and manual programming.

- continue working from anywhere: All your Rune instances form an e2e-encrypted network of peers, powered by our headscale network. Connect to your workstation from your laptop, and to your laptop from your workstation.
- batteries included: Production-grade language intelligence, out-of-the-box. Check the list of supported languages.
- a new organizing model: Stay in the flow for longer. Rune's UI is a screen multiplexer that allows you to organize it freely. Nine workspace slots. Infinite terminals, tabs and windows. A built-in agent or IDE-grade skills for yours.
- plugins and extensions: Extend Rune's functionality with official packages → or install community ones straight from a Git repository pkg install github.com/unstablebuild/rune-extension-themebuilder.
- native application: A native graphics pipeline: OpenGL on Linux, Metal on macOS. No Electron.

 install

On macOS and Linux, this installs the latest release, which keeps itself up to date:

bash
curl -fsSL https://rune.build/install.sh | sh


See the getting started guide for requirements and your first
steps in Rune.

Homebrew (macOS and Linux):

bash
brew install unstablebuild/tap/rune


Debian and Ubuntu: download the .deb for your architecture from the
latest release, then:

bash
sudo apt install ./rune_.deb


Arch Linux and Omarchy: Rune is in the AUR as
rune-ide:

bash
yay -S rune-ide


Or, without an AUR helper:

bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rune-ide.git
cd rune-ide
makepkg -si


Packages are updated by your package manager rather than by Rune itself. On other Linux
distributions, use the install command above, or
build from source.

 development

bash
git clone [email protected]:unstablebuild/rune.git


Then run:
bash
go run ./cmd/rune


To create a macOS application bundle:
bash
make rune-dmg


To compile all executables in ./bin:
bash
make -j16


 headless

Run Rune in headless mode to serve a workspace to all of your development machines,
over the Rune network:

bash
docker run -d --name rune \
  --hostname devpod \
  -v /src/projects:/home/rune/projects \
  unstablebuild/rune

$ docker logs -f rune   prints the sign-in code


--hostname is the name the node joins the network under, so from any of your machines
workspaceopen rune://devpod/home/rune/projects opens the mounted projects.
Language packages install on demand: when a workspace on the node needs one it lacks,
Rune asks you on your machine and installs it on the node.

The headless guide covers running the node as a
service under systemd, launchd, OpenRC, or runit, and adding system tools to the Docker image.
