4.0.0 (10.06.2026)

Chipmunk 4.0.0 is the first stable release of the new native version of Chipmunk.

This release replaces the previous Electron-based app with a much lighter and faster native application, reducing the runtime footprint by more than 4x.

Highlights

  • Memory usage reduced from around 500 MB to less than 100 MB.
  • CPU usage for the same workload reduced from around 16% to around 4%.
  • Startup is now almost instant compared to about one second before.
  • Chipmunk is now shipped as a single native application binary.
  • No more Electron sandboxing or runtime issues.
  • The app is much more responsive, with several long-standing UI issues fixed.
  • Added a command palette for faster keyboard-driven workflows.
  • Improved chart visuals.
  • Added installers for all supported operating systems.

This rewrite also gives us a stronger base for future development, helping us deliver requested features and bug fixes faster in upcoming releases.
