Archy is a proposed radically new system for interacting with many kinds of
computers. Designed by human-computer interface expert
Jef Raskin, it embodies his ideas and established results about human-centered design described in his book
The Humane Interface. These ideas include content persistence, modelessness, a nucleus with commands instead of applications, navigation using text search and a
zooming user interface (ZUI). The system was being implemented at the Raskin Center for Humane Interfaces under Raskin's leadership. Since his death in February
2005 the project is being continued by his team.
