Toast brings polished editing to terminal

Toast’s strongest idea is restraint: it packages the essential editor plumbing while explicitly avoiding AI features and telemetry.

• –Managed language servers and tree-sitter syntax highlighting make the terminal-first experience practical out of the box
• –Built-in file navigation, Git awareness, ripgrep search, command palette, and auto-save cover the everyday gaps that often force Vim users into extensive configuration
• –Its no-AI, no-telemetry stance is a deliberate alternative to feature-heavy editors such as VS Code and Zed
• –The project remains early-stage, and its standalone macOS app is experimental; the terminal binary is still the better-tested path
• –Toast is relevant to AI developers as focused local tooling, but it is not itself an AI coding assistant
