Adds a nightly channel. Twice a day nightly.yml builds the newest main commit that passed CI and publishes it as a prerelease (OpenIDEA Nightly, ai.l0ng.openidea.nightly, own data and update manifest), or stops when nothing is newer than the last nightly. Platform builds move from release.yml into the reusable release-build.yml so both channels build the same way. Versions are one patch above main with a timestamp suffix; each build gets its own v…-nightly.… tag (remote development downloads the server by version) and the last 14 are kept; a rolling nightly release holds latest.json. No MSI or RPM for nightlies. Nightly builds skip the CNB mirror manifest, and their automatic update prompts (startup and periodic) appear at most once a day; a manual check always answers. Workflow permissions default to contents: read with write granted per job, Apple signing secrets reach only macOS builds, stable release.yml rejects nightly tags, tag pruning only matches -nightly. tags, and nightly runs share one concurrency group.
The IDE you know, rebuilt in Rust.

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. On Windows, if you'd
rather skip the installer, each release also ships a portable zip — unpack it
and run openidea.exe.
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.
