What's new
The latest two releases.
v0.4.20Latest09-08-2026
The Files tree docks to the right panel too
- ›The Files tree can move to the right panel, and back: every other sidebar section, Source Control, Remote, Workspaces and the ones extensions contribute, could be handed to the right column by the button in its header or by dragging its grip across, but the primary folder tree was pinned left. Two things had kept it there, a right column that held one surface at a time so the tree would have contested that slot with the Secondary Folder Tree extension, and a guard written for extension panels that closed a docked built-in section the instant it opened; the column stacks its surfaces now and that guard knows about built-in sections, so neither reason survives. It moves by the same "Move to right panel" button and the same drag as its neighbours, comes back by the button on the docked copy, closes to a status-bar icon that reopens it, and remembers where you left it across a restart. The tree draws no header until a folder is open, so the move button appears with the folder
- ›The zoom pill sits to the left of the AI usage meters: it was grouped with the status bar's action buttons, which left it stranded after the meters, the extension icons and a divider, away from the corner the eye goes to when the zoom level is the thing being read. It has a group of its own immediately before the usage meters now, still appears only while the zoom is away from 100%, and its divider goes with it
v0.4.1808-08-2026
Font ligatures switch off · markdown preview per pane
- ›The code editor's font ligatures can be turned off: a coding font fuses => into an arrow and != into a not-equals, which is a font feature and not an edit, but it reads as one when you are hunting for the characters you actually typed. Settings, Code Editor, Font ligatures switches it, on by default so nothing changes for anyone who likes them, and a single CSS variable drives the editor, the diff panes and an extension's own editor together, so the three cannot disagree about whether a pair is drawn as one glyph
- ›The markdown preview toggle moved out of the toolbar onto the pane it acts on: it sat in the app header beside the word-wrap button, so two markdown files open side by side shared one button, and it could only ever address whichever pane had focus. It now lives in each pane's own header next to the float button, which lets two panes sit in different modes and puts the control beside the text it switches
- ›Selecting text in a dialog no longer drags the whole window: dragging across the text of an SSH connection dialog moved the app, and double-clicking a word maximised it. The window-drag handler lives on the header row and the SSH menu that owns those dialogs is inside that row, and React sends an event up the component tree rather than the DOM tree, so a mousedown on a dialog portaled to body still arrived at the header; the drag-region markers that already guard the tab strip could not help, because they are found by walking the DOM and a portaled dialog has no header in its DOM ancestry. The handler now ignores anything not genuinely inside the row it is attached to, which covers the dropdown menus, tab context menus and tooltips the header opens as well

Frequently asked questions
TEDI, the Terminal Director, folds eight everyday dev tools (a terminal with workspaces, SSH/SFTP, a database browser, a code editor, an AI agent, an in-app browser, an API client, and Git) into one lightweight window built on Tauri 2.
Because the terminal is where the work is directed from: TEDI puts your shells, remote hosts, editor, database, Git, and AI agents on one stage and lets you cue them from a single window instead of alt-tabbing between apps.
The installed app is roughly 7–10 MB and cold-starts in about 300 ms, because it uses the OS webview via Tauri 2 rather than bundling a full Chromium runtime.
Windows 10/11 (x64), macOS 10.15+ (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu .deb, Fedora/RHEL .rpm, and a portable AppImage).
No. There is zero telemetry. API keys and secrets are stored in your operating system keychain, never on a remote server.
You can bring your own key across ten providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Cerebras, Groq, DeepSeek, SumoPod, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible server), or run fully local and keyless against Ollama, llama.cpp, or vLLM. Plan mode, skills, MCP, sub-agents, and approval-gated tools work either way.
Yes. TEDI is licensed under Apache-2.0 and free forever. Issues, PRs, and ideas are welcome on GitHub.
No extension ships inside the binary: all nine first-party ones (SQL Explorer, the API Client, AI usage meters, beautify, remote access, RTK bridge, screenshots, a second folder tree, and Discord Rich Presence) install at runtime from a .zip or a GitHub release, and are versioned independently of the core app. Every install shows the permissions, risk tier, and AI tools it contributes before you accept.
