A web framework for Rust
Build web apps in Rust, the easy way.
Pages, forms, logins, a database, emails and background jobs:
everything a web app needs comes in one renox dependency. You write
Rust and HTML; Renox does the plumbing, and your whole app ships as one file.
Three commands to a running app
# 1. Install `rnx`, Renox's command-line tool
cargo install renox-cli --version 1.0.0-rc.6
# 2. Make a new app called "blog" and go into its folder
rnx new blog && cd blog
# 3. Run it, then open http://127.0.0.1:3000
rnx serveUsing Claude Code or another coding agent? Every new app has an
AGENTS.md and a CLAUDE.md that teach it Renox;
see how.

Overview
What Renox is, what comes in the box, and a first taste of the code.
Tutorial

Testing
Check that your app works, automatically, every time you change it.

Running in production
Put your app on a real server and keep it healthy.
Faster builds
