What is Ruststudio?
Ruststudio is a free, native integrated development environment (IDE) for the Rust programming language, made by FOWLGUARD, Inc. for Windows, macOS and Linux. It combines a rust-analyzer editor, Cargo builds, an lldb-dap debugger, project templates for web, desktop and Android apps, package views and an AI assistant that uses your own keys.

Frequently asked questions
Something else? Ask in the community forum or send feedback.
Is Ruststudio free?
Yes. Ruststudio is free for personal and commercial use, with no licence key and nothing to pay. Use it for 7 days straight away; after that you sign up for a free account with your e-mail address. It is closed-source freeware.
Does Ruststudio work on Linux?
Yes. Ruststudio runs on x86-64 Linux under X11 or Wayland. Unpack the archive and run ./install.sh to install it for your user without root, or install the .deb package on Debian and Ubuntu. Install Rust with rustup to build projects.
How is Ruststudio different from rust-analyzer in VS Code?
Both use rust-analyzer for completion, errors and go to definition. VS Code is a general-purpose editor in which Rust support comes from extensions you choose and configure. Ruststudio is a native program written in Rust and made only for Rust: the debugger, solutions with many projects, web, desktop and Android templates, database connectors, the Cargo Cleaner and the rupm, NuGet and npm views are built in.
Can I build Android apps in Rust with it?
Yes. The Slint and egui templates make native Android apps with no web view. The same code runs as a desktop window while you develop, and tasks build, install and start the APK on a phone. Ruststudio checks the Android SDK, NDK, adb, JDK, the Rust Android targets and cargo-apk and shows the command for what is missing. Native iOS support is in development and will need a Mac with Xcode.
5 more questions
Does Ruststudio send my code anywhere?
No. Ruststudio does not look at or upload your code. It counts installs with a random install id, its version and your system, and checks once a day for a newer version. The AI assistant sends only what you attach, and only to the provider you configured. Crash reports are sent only after you have seen them and agreed. See the privacy notice for everything the app and the website store.
Which AI providers can I use?
Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Alibaba Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, xAI, OpenRouter, Together, Moonshot and Zhipu with your own API key, or a model on your own machine with Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp, which need no key.
Which systems does Ruststudio run on?
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), macOS 11 or later (Apple silicon and Intel) and Linux (x86-64, X11 or Wayland). You can build for the desktop, the web and Android from it. Native iOS support is in development and will need a Mac with Xcode.
Is Ruststudio open source?
No. It is closed-source freeware: free to use, with the source not published. It is built from open-source Rust libraries, whose licences are listed in the third-party notices.
Who makes Ruststudio?
Ruststudio is a product of FOWLGUARD, Inc., the company behind Fowlguard Secure and Fowlguard Productivity. It is one of its free tools; see fowlguard.com.
