A bottom tool window lists the connected Android devices (adb devices -l) and streams the selected one's log (adb logcat -v threadtime, the last 200 lines first), parsed into time, pid, level, tag and message in a virtualised list that follows the end until scrolled up. The filter box takes Android Studio's logcat expressions (tag:, message:, pid:, level:, -term, |, parentheses, regex) and remembers recent ones. The new ide-android crate runs adb, which it finds through ANDROID_HOME / ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, the usual SDK locations or PATH; the stream goes over a Channel in batches (300 lines, or once the oldest waiting line is 60 ms old) and stops with its request. The window is listed under the stripe's overflow until first opened. Co-authored-by: payailk <80739895+payailk@users.noreply.github.com>

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.
Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients, for 60+ languages. Builds for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Benchmark
Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:
| OpenIDEA | IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Window with the project | 0.9 s | 3.1 s |
| Ready (CPU settled) | 1.1 s | 13.2 s |
| Memory (USS, all processes) | 169 MB | 2011 MB |
| CPU time until ready | 2.4 s | 47.9 s |
| Idle CPU | 4 % of a core | 7 % of a core |
| Quit | 0.3 s | 5.9 s |
A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on
Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM.
IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on
both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see
perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.
Plugins
Plugins add actions, completion, quick fixes, tool windows, custom editors, themes, file icons and languages. They run as sandboxed WebAssembly components; themes, icon themes and languages need no code at all.
Install them from Settings › Plugins, or start your own with
openidea-plugin new — see Writing OpenIDEA plugins and
the official plugins. The plugin API is still a preview.
