Built for Extreme Developer Velocity
Zero-Latency Input-to-Photon
Measured at 4.2ms. When you type code in Crux, keypresses bypass heavy browser DOM wrappers and render directly via WebGPU compute shaders.
Real-Time Collaborative Code Sync
Share a cryptographic P2P link to code together with peers over encrypted WebRTC data channels using our decentralized AST-CRDT protocol.
Instant In-Browser Execution
Zero install, zero account required. Open the editor and start writing code immediately on any device, operating system, or screen size.
Local AI Coding Agents
Execute complex code mutations with Anthropic Claude Code, Google Gemini, and OpenAI Codex via our zero-overhead native terminal bridge.
Code Editor FAQs
Can I write and edit code in Crux without installing anything?
Yes. Code Crux compiles to WebAssembly (Wasm) and WebGPU pipelines, allowing you to write, edit, and inspect code immediately in modern browsers at https://codecrux.us/ide.
How does Code Crux achieve lower latency than other code editors?
Traditional editors (VS Code, Cursor) render text through Chromium's DOM tree and V8 JavaScript engine, causing 40-50ms of input delay. Crux uploads syntax tokens directly to GPU memory buffers, rendering text frames in 4.2ms at 120 FPS.
What programming languages can I code in?
Code Crux supports syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and indentation for Rust, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, C, C++, Go, HTML, CSS, JSON, Markdown, and custom domain-specific grammars.
How do I collaborate on code in real time?
Press Cmd+Shift+P inside the editor to generate an encrypted room URL. Anyone with the URL can join your session. Changes replicate peer-to-peer using our conflict-free AST-CRDT engine with zero server intermediate logging.
Is Code Crux free for individual developers?
Yes. The Community Edition of Code Crux is free forever ($0/month) for individual software engineers, students, and open source developers.
