The Manifest is a community-maintained index of things built on or for the GPUI ecosystem: the forks themselves, apps, component libraries, tools, and learning material. It isn’t limited to cargo crates: if it ships downstream of one of the islands, it belongs here.

| bite-gpui | Forks | Zed's GPUI re-cut into a stack of installable layer crates (bite-gpui plus bite-gp-*), published so forks can depend on them instead of vendoring the upstream tree. ● Published |
| GPUI Box | Forks | An independent distribution cohort: a self-contained package family (gpui-box, gpui-box-platform, gpui-box-kit) with zero direct Cargo dependency on Zed. ● Published |
| gpui-ce | Forks | A community fork making an effort to accelerate testing of upstream features and maintain a faster-moving community version — publishing crates for standalone desktop apps. ● Published |
| gpui-fast | Forks | Longbridge's performance fork: GPUI extracted from Zed as a standalone workspace, with the rendering and layout paths reworked to reuse what did not change between frames. ● Published |
| gpui-pre | Forks | Longbridge's republish of upstream Zed's GPUI crates to crates.io as gpui-pre-* — rev-pinned snapshots of upstream Git that back the GPUI Kit umbrella. ● Published |
| gpui-unofficial | Forks | An automated mirror of upstream Zed that publishes current crates to crates.io — the practical path to up-to-date GPUI crates. ● Published |
| Kael | Forks | Forked directly from GPUI; selectively tracks upstream while building out general-purpose features: gradients, webviews, form controls, and a component library. ● Published |
| WGPUI | Forks | GPUI essentially ported to a single cross-platform backend instead of per-platform code — leaner and easier to extend across Windows, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly at once. An experimental migration to properly retained, composited rendering is underway for efficiency. ○ Unpublished |
Zed (upstream GPUI)
|
Forks | A high-performance, multiplayer code editor — and the upstream home of GPUI. Everything else on this list ships downstream of this repo. GPUI is not discontinued — the team simply has a lot on its plate, so upstream PRs get in slower than some would like. ◑ Outdated |
