Archon
Professional CAD, rebuilt from scratch.
A cross-platform CAD application with a Rust computation core, GPU-accelerated rendering, and native interfaces on macOS, Windows, and iPad. Designed to compete where it counts — performance, usability, and price.
Rust Core Engine
Geometry operations, constraint solving, and spatial indexing run in a high-performance Rust library. Memory-safe, fast, and portable across every platform.
GPU-Accelerated Rendering
Metal on macOS and iPad. wgpu for cross-platform GPU abstraction. Smooth, real-time 2D/3D drawing at professional scale.
Cross-Platform Native
Native UI on every platform — SwiftUI on macOS and iPad, WinUI 3 on Windows. No Electron. No compromises. Real platform integration.
DWG Compatibility
Import and work with AutoCAD drawings natively. No format lock-in. Your existing files work on day one.
Real-Time Collaboration
Multi-user co-editing built into the architecture from the start — not bolted on after the fact. Work together, live.
Professional Tooling
Precise coordinate systems, snap-to-grid, constraint locking, P&ID symbol libraries, and professional drafting workflows.
The Archon Suite
One core engine. Multiple professional disciplines.
Archon
Core CAD
General-purpose 2D/3D drafting and design. The foundation everything else builds on.

PlannedWhy Archon
Rust core with zero-copy geometry pipelines. Sub-millisecond constraint evaluation. GPU rendering that doesn't stutter on complex drawings.
The only professional CAD that runs natively on macOS and iPad. Not a port. Not a VM. Native.
Professional tools shouldn't cost $2,000/year. Archon delivers at a fraction of legacy pricing — buy once, own it.
Coming soon.
