The Craft office suite
Early native ports
WordCraft, GridCraft, PDFCraft and DeckCraft bring the open-source Craft applications to airOS. Their Rust editors run inside native Haiku windows, with system file panels, clipboard support and display scaling.
WordCraft
A word processor for longer documents, everyday writing and page layout. The Haiku port keeps the Rust editor and adds native desktop integration.
DOCX documents, styled text, tables, page layout and PDF export
Review tools and document recovery
Native Open/Save panels, clipboard and sharp text on scaled displays
Reworked Haiku media tools sit beside native players and a pair of Craft apps for photos: edit layered images in PhotoCraft and develop RAW files in LightCraft.
Media preferences
Audio and video settings have been rebuilt around a sidebar and readable cards, so devices and everyday controls are easier to find.
Choose input and output devices, adjust volume and play a test sound
Control individual applications in the audio mixer, with app icons and mute controls
Check a live recording level meter and camera preview
Choose a MIDI SoundFont and restart stopped media services
VS Code (Code - OSS), pgAdmin 4 and GitHub Desktop run as native airOS windows on Aurora, which reimplements Electron on Node.js with Summit’s WebKit engine and Haiku’s own menus, dialogs, clipboard and file panels. Terminal gained a new rendering engine, and Burrow connects you to work networks.
Haiku’s Terminal has a new emulator core and draws into one bitmap at the screen’s density, with an OpenGL renderer beside a multithreaded software renderer.
The GPU renderer (OpenGL 3.0) and the software renderer are timed against each other, and Terminal keeps whichever is faster
If the GPU is lost or a frame takes over two seconds, Terminal switches to software for good; force either one with the Renderer setting or TERMINAL_RENDERER
Up to 120 frames per second, a glyph atlas and Terminal-drawn box, braille and Powerline characters
Colour emoji, programming ligatures, Unicode 16 graphemes, reflow on resize and kitty protocol extensions
cat of a 5.7 MB file takes 0.14 s instead of 0.42 s; on the tested machines the software renderer is currently the faster path
Native controls, a compact toolbar and a modern multiprocess WebKit engine. Tabs, saved sessions, bookmarks, downloads, page find, configurable search and per-site zoom are joined by tools for reading, media, extensions and debugging.
Open an add-on’s page on Firefox Add-ons or Chrome Web Store and Summit adds an install card to the top of the page. Review the requested access in a native dialog before anything runs, or load a local extension package.
Install Extension on the store page; once installed, the card offers Manage Extension
Firefox packages are checked against Mozilla’s published size and SHA-256 and update from the same store; signatures are not verified, so install only what you trust
Toolbar actions, popups and restoration across restarts
uBlock Origin and Dark Reader have passed native runtime suites; 1Password sign-in, inline filling and passkeys have been verified for tested versions
Native airOS ports of Proton’s VPN client and Mail Bridge, built from public forks. airOS CI builds each one on every push and publishes it as a rolling release with SHA-256 checksums.
Proton VPN
A port of Proton’s Linux VPN app with a native Haiku interface instead of GTK. Sign in with your Proton account, pick a server and connect over WireGuard or OpenVPN.
Sign in with two-factor codes; the session lives in the Haiku key store
Countries, cities and Secure Core routes with loads, P2P, Tor and smart-routing badges; search, fastest-server and pinned connections in the Deskbar tray
Built-in userspace WireGuard on Haiku’s tunnel driver, or OpenVPN over UDP or TCP
NetShield, VPN Accelerator, moderate NAT, port forwarding, kill switch, custom DNS and IPv6
x86-64 and ARM64 packages, plus a proton-vpn-cli command
A new Mail app, a clipboard history and a screenshot editor: small tools that are always within reach.
Mail
A new native email client replaces Haiku’s Mail in x86-64 images. It keeps its own SQLite store and shows conversations formatted by Summit’s WebKit engine.
IMAP, POP3/SMTP, Gmail and Proton Mail Bridge accounts in a unified inbox; passwords and tokens stay in the Haiku key store
