Nexion is built on the shoulders of great open source projects and technologies.
Open Source Libraries
GPU-accelerated terminal emulator library written in Zig with Metal rendering. Powers the entire Nexion terminal.
© Mitchell Hashimoto, Ghostty contributors
The code editor that powers VS Code. Used for syntax-highlighted code preview with 34 language support.
© Microsoft Corporation
Open source typeface designed for developers. Used as the default monospace font across terminal, editor, and code views.
© The JetBrains Mono Project Authors
Modern monospace typeface by Vercel. Bundled as an optional terminal and editor font.
© Vercel, Inc.
Collection of 450+ terminal color schemes. All bundled themes for terminal and code preview are sourced from this project.
© Mark Badolato
Collection of 50+ syntax highlighting themes for the Monaco editor. Used for code preview and built-in editor theme presets.
© Brijesh Bittu
Fast line-oriented search tool. Bundled for .gitignore-aware file enumeration in Quick Open (Cmd+P).
© Andrew Gallant
Hand-drawn whiteboard for diagrams and sketches. Powers the Canvas tab inside every Nexion project.
© Excalidraw
iOS Simulator automation bridge (idb companion). Downloaded on demand so agents and the Nexion CLI can tap, swipe and type in the simulator.
© Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates
JavaScript library bundled alongside Excalidraw as a runtime dependency of the Canvas tab.

Auto-update framework for macOS apps. Drives Nexion's silent update checks (boot, every 4 hours, wake-from-sleep) and the standard Install dialog. EdDSA-signed releases for tamper-proof installs.

Crash reporting SDK. Captures stack traces from unhandled exceptions, app hangs, and watchdog terminations. Routed through Nexion's own sanitizer pipeline (no PII, no network breadcrumbs, opt-out toggle) so only the bytes you explicitly approved ever leave the device.
© Sentry
Privacy-first product analytics SDK. EU-hosted, anonymous (install UUID is SHA-256 hashed on-device before transmission), GDPR-compliant with no cookie banner needed. Drives the engagement panels (DAU, feature usage) so Nexion can be improved based on aggregate counters, never per-user data.

Built With
Swift & SwiftUI
Native macOS application framework. Nexion is built entirely with Swift and SwiftUI: no Electron, no web wrappers.
WebKit (WKWebView)
Apple's web rendering engine. Powers the built-in browser, code preview, and markdown rendering.
JavaScriptCore
JavaScript engine used to run plugins in isolated sandboxed contexts.
