Roadmap

What is coming, and when.

What is shipping now and what comes next. The months are targets, not promises, and requests shape the order.

Updated

September and October 2026

Shipped

  1. Windows 10 and 11

    Available

    Zeku is out for Windows, with a 14-day free trial and nothing locked after it.

  2. macOS

    Beta

    A universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs on macOS 10.15 Catalina and later, covered by the same Zeku license.

  3. Linux

    Beta

    For x86_64: a one-command install and an AppImage that update themselves, and .deb and .rpm packages, all covered by the same Zeku license.

  4. Typewriter mode

    Available

    The line you are writing stays at one height on the screen. Keep the paragraph, sentence, or line in focus and fade the rest, mark the line, and choose how far down it sits.

  5. Updates that install quietly

    Available

    No installer window to click through. Zeku updates and reopens itself.

  6. Alt text and lighter images

    Available

    Zeku asks for alt text as you paste or drop an image, and shrinks large photos on the way in.

  7. Find and replace across the site

    Available

    Change a word, a name, or a URL in every post and page at once, with every change shown before it is made and Undo after.

  8. A preview that matches your site

    Available

    Zeku reads your Markdown settings and plugins, renders only the syntax your site renders, and marks the rest, including comments your site would publish.

  9. Safer publishing

    Available

    A clear warning before anything outside your content folder gets committed, and one click to leave it out.

  10. Reference and image fields

    Available

    Reference fields suggest the ids the other collection really has, authors and categories kept in JSON or YAML included, and flag an id that names nothing. Image fields show a thumbnail and flag a path with no image.

  11. Data collections

    Available

    Edit JSON and YAML entries, like a list of authors, with a form built from your schema.

  12. Translations

    Available

    See each page next to its translations, spot the ones that are missing or behind their original, and start a new one from a copy.

  13. More of Starlight

    Available

    Asides with icons and titles, Starlight components in the insert menu, and sidebar labels and badges on the dashboard.

  14. Writing goals

    Available

    A word count goal per page, with your progress in the status bar.

  15. Build errors before you publish

    Available

    Zeku checks your pages against your schema the way Astro's build does, marks the ones that would fail it, and tells you before you publish.

  1. Fixes from launch feedback

    In progress

    The rough edges people report in the first weeks, fixed as they come in.

On purpose

What Zeku will not do.

  • No AI writing

    Nothing in the editor writes, chats, or finishes your sentences for you.

  • No account or cloud

    No account, cloud sync, or database. Your site stays plain files in your repo.

  • No subscription

    Pay once. Every license includes lifetime updates.

  • No lock-in

    Stop using Zeku and nothing about your site changes.
