Why PauStudio

I wanted a local, free coding assistant without expensive subscriptions. PauStudio combines Tauri (native Rust, ~30 MB), Monaco Editor and a ReAct agent with file read/write tools. Supports Ollama (Qwen3-Coder, DeepSeek-R1) and free-tier APIs (DeepSeek, Qwen DashScope, GLM-4.7-Flash).

The product

Open any project folder, edit with syntax highlighting, chat with the agent and review diffs before applying changes. Integrated terminal, Ctrl+S/P/` shortcuts, direct download from the portfolio.

What's included

  • VS Code-like workbench

    File explorer, multi-tab editor, custom teal Monaco theme and native PTY terminal.

  • Tool-using agent

    ReAct loop with list_files, read_file, search_files and write_file. Mandatory diff preview before saving.

  • Free Chinese AI

    Local Ollama (qwen3-coder-next) or DeepSeek, Qwen and GLM APIs with free tiers. User provides API key.

  • Lightweight desktop app

    Tauri 2 instead of Electron: small installer, real filesystem access, Windows/macOS/Linux builds via GitHub Actions.
