Hackerman Text is a minimalist text editor for code. Designed to make typing feel instant, then stay out of your way. Offline by default. No accounts. No telemetry.

Zero-latency typing Every feature is built to keep keypress-to-paint latency under 10 ms.

Local + hosted AI Run fast code completions on your own hardware or through supported cloud models.

Agent agnostic Use any agent CLI you want. Detects external file changes and refreshes seamlessly.

No learning curve Platform-native shortcuts, with every key binding fully customizable.

Hackable Create your own themes, commands, and custom lexers for esolang fans.

No lock-ins Themes, commands, and settings are stored as plain text. Easy to edit, version control, and move.

Built for multi-pane, multi-window workflows

Open several files side by side in horizontal panes. Detach tabs into their own windows. Drag-and-drop tabs between windows. Multiple open tabs with the same file stays in sync across windows.

Non-intrusive AI

AI code completion is opt-in and on-demand. No chat panels, no agent clutter, no workflow takeover. Use local models or selected hosted providers.

Org-mode, shell, and scripting

Org-mode for notes, planning, and literate work. Inline shell commands and Python eval. Hot-reloaded scripts as editor commands.
