The all-in-one tool for compiling your projects into .cia format with ease.

About

CIAToolsR is a complete rewrite of the original tool, designed to be more stable, faster, and above all, cross-platform. We have migrated to an Avalonia UI architecture for a fluid experience on both Windows and Linux, while automating the entire compilation chain to save you from dealing with manual script handling.

• Clean Architecture: Migrated to .NET MVVM, code completely rewritten.
• Modern Interface: Material Design look, clean and readable.
• Full Control: Integrated debug console, real-time log management, and automation options for scripts.
