Dida code editor

Everything in sight. Nothing in the way.

Dida is a fast, minimal Code-OSS-based editor for Windows ARM64 now, with x64 and Linux release channels prepared. It keeps Explorer, Search, Git, Terminal, syntax highlighting, and theming close at hand without adding telemetry or a built-in AI layer.

  • No telemetry by default
  • Always-on terminal tab
  • Light and dark themes
  • Small footprint

"Dida" means eye or sight in Persian. The product is designed for the AI-CLI era: your agent can live in the terminal, while the editor stays fast and clear.

Features

The editor surface developers expect, without the parts Dida does not need.

Dida starts from the familiar Code - OSS foundation and trims the story to a focused desktop editor.

Explorer, Search, Git

Navigate files, find text, review changes, and commit from the same quiet workbench.

Terminal first

The integrated terminal is where your AI CLI, build tools, and shell workflow stay visible.

Readable themes

Light and dark modes follow system preference while keeping contrast and focus states accessible.

Syntax highlighting

Core language grammars and editor behavior from Code - OSS remain available for everyday work.

No telemetry claim creep

Dida does not add product analytics, crash upload, sign-in, or advertising trackers.

Source available

You can view, build, and modify the Dida sources under the Dida Source-Available License.
