Open Source Rust Graphics Software

Graphite is a modern, open-source, prototyping and design tool built for vector graphics, motion, and state-driven UIs. It combines traditional vector drawing capabilities with features like animation timelines, state machines, and interactive prototyping—all in one toolchain rather than separate apps. The interface supports layering, boolean operations, masks, and full node-based parametric controls for shapes and effects. Because it’s built to be extendable, plugin support allows importing/exporting formats, custom tools, or integrations with code frameworks. It also focuses on performance and scalability—handling complex vector scenes with many nested elements fluidly. For designers and developers looking to prototype UI transitions, interactive states, and motion-driven interfaces without separate design/code handoffs, Graphite positions itself as an all-in-one creative engine.

Capture your screen in an intuitive and straightforward way without distractions. Kooha is a simple screen recorder with a minimal interface. You can simply click the record button without having to configure a bunch of settings.

Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor. A customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. Inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop. By default, bottom is somewhat like a dashboard - a bunch of different widgets, all showing different things, and they all cram together to fit into one terminal. If you instead just want to see one widget, maybe you want to look at a graph in more detail, for example, you can "expand" the currently selected widget using the e key, which will hide all other widgets and make that widget take up all available terminal space. To allow for widget-specific keybindings and expansion, there is the idea of widget selection in bottom, where you can focus on a specific widget to work with it. This can be done with the mouse (just click on the widget of interest).

Forma is an experimental vector graphics renderer written in Rust, developed by Google to explore high-performance, parallelized rendering techniques across multiple platforms. The project aims to achieve portability, performance, simplicity, and small footprint through a streamlined four-stage rendering pipeline. Forma provides both CPU (software) and GPU (hardware) backends, relying on Rust’s SIMD auto-vectorization, Rayon for multithreading, and WebGPU (wgpu) for hardware acceleration. The renderer processes Bézier curves, line segments, and pixels through stages of flattening, rasterization, sorting, and painting, updating only changed tiles for efficiency. This design allows Forma to render complex vector scenes—such as large-scale SVGs—at interactive frame rates even on CPUs.

You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text? exa is an improved file lister with more features and better defaults. It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s small, fast, and just one single binary. Different types of file and data will be coloured differently, and the user and group columns will be highlighted for the current user. exa can display a file’s extended attributes, as well as standard filesystem information such as the inode, the number of blocks, and a file’s various dates and times. exa queries files in parallel, giving you performance on par with ls. Not only is the standard tree tool built-in, but it’ll show you your files’ information alongside the hierarchy. View the staged and unstaged status of every file, right there in the standard view. Also works in tree view for a high-level overview of your repository.

gltf-rs is a Rust library for parsing and loading glTF 2.0 assets, the efficient and widely adopted format for 3D models and scenes. It provides a safe, idiomatic Rust interface to handle glTF files, supporting both JSON and binary (.glb) formats. The library allows developers to access geometry, materials, animations, and node hierarchies with ease, and is often used as a building block for game engines, renderers, and 3D tools written in Rust. With support for zero-copy data access and efficient iteration, it’s optimized for performance-critical applications.

Graphical Ping displays a color-coded realtime graph of continuous pings to a specified host. No warranties are provided on this program, it is completely free to use. Graph the execution time for a list of commands rather than pinging hosts. Resolve ping targets to IPv4 address. Resolve ping targets to IPv6 address. Uses dot characters instead of braille. Determine the number of seconds to display in the graph. Watch interval seconds (provide partial seconds like '0.5').

rx is a modern, minimalist pixel editor implemented in Rust, designed with pixel artists and animators in mind. It emphasizes extensibility and a minimal user interface, drawing inspiration from modal editors like Vim to provide a focused and efficient editing experience.

Tarsila is a pixel art and spritesheet editor written in Rust, utilizing macroquad for graphics and egui for the GUI. It offers a range of tools for creating and editing pixel art and spritesheets, catering to game developers and artists.

Program to batch compress, resize and rename Images.
