Free forever FREE
A complete editor out of the box. No nags, no trial timers, nothing taken away.
Syntax highlighting
Around 60 languages highlighted at launch, with code folding and brace matching built in.
Multiple cursors
Edit many places at once. Double-click a word to smart-highlight every instance in the document.
Regex find & replace
Full ICU regular expressions with incremental search — matches highlight as you type.
Every encoding, every script
UTF-8/16, Shift-JIS, GB, Big5, Latin and more, with conversion — plus full RTL/Arabic and CJK correctness.
Line operations
Sort, reverse, dedupe, join, and trim whitespace — the tidy-up tools you reach for daily.
Unlimited documents & tabs
Open as many documents, windows, and native tabs as you like. No caps in the free tier.
Autosave & Versions
Your work saves itself as you type, and macOS Versions lets you step back in time.
Line endings, handled
