SHOWCASE · FROM THE COMMUNITY

# Real apps from  
the community.

These are existing projects from the zenit community, recorded unedited in real windows. No Electron, no WebView: every frame is drawn by zenit on the GPU.

01 / NATIVE IDE Community

## Code IDE (native)

Wired to a real TypeScript language server: completions as you type, signature help and hover docs. The completion list, the popovers, the editor and the minimap are all drawn by zenit on the GPU.

-   Completions as you type, filtered live by prefix
-   Signature help and hover docs anchored to the caret
-   File tree, tabs, line numbers and a minimap

02 / WYSIWYG Community

## WYSIWYG Markdown editor

What you see is what you get

A complete native document editor: lists, checklists, quotes and multi-level numbering take shape as you type, and tables, flow diagrams, code blocks and screenshots all live in the same document. No Electron, no WebView: every pixel is drawn by zenit.

-   Formatting as you type: nested lists, checklists, quotes, multi-level numbering
-   Tables, flow diagrams, code blocks and screenshots rendered live and editable in place
-   New files and folders, drag-to-organise, tabs and a built-in terminal

03 / SYNTH · AUDIO Community

## Synth course & piano roll (native)

Learn synthesis while you design sounds: a built-in course walks through filters step by step, and every knob drives a live filter curve, envelopes and spectrum. Then write the song in a 7-track piano roll. Every note is voiced by the app’s own synth. Click to watch with sound.

-   Knobs drive the filter curve, envelopes and spectrum live
-   Built-in lessons, and hover cards that explain every term
-   7-track piano roll: box-select, duplicate, drag, undo / redo
