Differences from the official release

Our version is built directly from the source code, including signed executables for Windows, ensuring quality and security. For macOS users, we offer notarized packages optimized for Apple Silicon. Linux enthusiasts will find both a tarball and an AppImage, compatible across numerous distributions.

We maintain HiDPI support on Windows, ensuring the application automatically adapts to HiDPI displays for sharp text and optimal rendering upon launch.

We offer the terminal plugin out-of-the-box for Windows, Linux, and macOS, featuring style adjustments for seamless system integration. The JetBrains bold font face ensures clear display of bold fonts in the terminal.

Additionally, we include syntax highlighting plugins for popular programming languages, eliminating the need to download them separately. We've also integrated a highly useful bracket matching plugin, a staple in coding editors, to enhance your coding experience.
