Test Swift Regex patterns, inspect captures, and preview replacements locally. Optional recovery stores one workspace only in the app sandbox.
Test Swift Regex patterns against local text, inspect captures, and preview replacements without changing the text you pasted.
Use Regex to:
• See empty, invalid, zero-match, and matching states as you type
• Highlight every match or one selected capture group
• Inspect capture groups 0 through 8
• Toggle case-insensitive, dot-matches-newlines, and multiline anchor options
• Preview $0–$8 capture-based replacements in a read-only result
• Copy a pattern with backslashes and quotes escaped
• Paste an escaped pattern and unescape it for editing
• Optionally recover one workspace on your next launch
Workspace recovery is off by default. When enabled, one workspace is stored only on this device in the app sandbox; local device backups may include it. Clear it at any time or turn recovery off.
Regex processes patterns, test data, and replacement previews locally. It has no uploads, account, cloud sync, network service, or app analytics.
Regex is a focused native editor for testing the Swift Regex behavior you plan to use in code.

Colors are dull, but otherwise a 5 star app

The app wrks fine and I can generate a regexp quickly. Would give 1 more star if the app is prettier.
Fast, simple and to the point

This app is awesome and easy to use. It not only does the job well, but helps me learn about regular expressions.
Love it...only 1 issue

A great app!!! Using it all the time now.Would be 5 stars except for the fact that the text box does not scroll. If the pasted text is longer than the available space it sure would be nice to scroll.
Software that makes me smarter! How great is that?

This little gem has really expanded my regular expression horizons. The instant feedback I get from trying things out makes it effecient for me to create more complex and subtle regular expression setups than I ever could before. (Not that I didn't think of complex things to do before ... but the whole process of writing a PHP test page, uploading it to the server, checking the browser to see what happened, wondering where I went wrong, etc., took forever.) Of course I'll be happy if the app continues to develop, with more bells and whistles and smooth features, but that's not enough to stop me giving it 5 stars right now. It meets a very specific purpose extremely well.
Saved Tests keeps complete regex workspaces on your Mac so you can return to working test cases instead of rebuilding them. Save, open, duplicate, rename, overwrite, or delete tests while patterns, test data, replacements, capture groups, and matching options stay together.
