SSH passwords and key passphrases, git HTTPS credentials, the HTTP proxy password and data source passwords were kept in plaintext JSON files in the app data directory. They now live in the OS credential store via keyring 4 (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Secret Service on Linux); each file keeps only an index of keys under a per-directory id. Files from older versions are moved key by key on first use, with a .migrating sidecar so a failed or interrupted move retries without duplicating credentials. Without a credential store (headless Linux) the old file is still read but nothing new is written to disk; the secret lasts for the session. New data sources no longer save their password or SSH tunnel secret unless asked. Also keeps the index path in SecretStore for global data sources and runs their test against the in-memory store.

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.
