RustGIS

Why RustGIS

• Fast and small. One native program, drawn on the GPU, with no runtime to install and no server to run.
• Runs everywhere. The same app on Windows, macOS and Linux, and compiled to WebAssembly at web.rustgis.app with nothing to install.
• Local and private. Your files are read and written on your machine, and nothing is uploaded on its own. The network is used only when you ask for it: web basemaps, plugins, the GeoLibre tools and the AI model you pick, which receives your questions and the data it reads to answer them.
• Everything is a command. Every button in the ribbon is a command with an id. Script it from rustgis-cli, chain it in notebooks and models, use completion in the Script pane, or ask the AI Assistant to run it for you.
• Familiar. A ribbon laid out in the order of the work (Home, Data, Style, Edit, Analyze, View, Publish), Layers and Browser panes, an attribute table, and undo for every change.
• Extensible. Over 1,000 GeoLibre and Whitebox tools for terrain, hydrology, LiDAR and remote sensing, and sandboxed WebAssembly plugins that add commands, tools and ribbon tabs.
