NotepadXtreme
Notes and code, never lost
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
NotepadXtreme is a fast, serious text editor that never loses your work — with a drawing canvas built in.
QUIT WITHOUT SAVING. LOSE NOTHING.
Close the app with ten unsaved tabs and they all come back exactly as you left them. Every version of every file — even ones you never saved — is kept in a local history timeline you can scrub through and restore.
DRAW AND WRITE, SIDE BY SIDE.
Every tab can be a document or a drawing canvas. Sketch freehand while you write, and split the window to keep the drawing on one side and the text on the other.
EVERYTHING A SERIOUS EDITOR NEEDS.
• Tabs, session restore, and instant startup
• Split view — open two files, or one file, side by side
• Syntax highlighting for 140+ languages, detected from the file or from what you paste
• Regex find & replace with capture groups
• Beautify JSON, JavaScript, HTML, XML, and CSS in one click
• Markdown preview alongside the text
• Tab diff, text pipelines and clipboard history
• Multi-cursor and column selection
• Encoding control (UTF-8, UTF-16, Latin-1) and line-ending control (LF, CRLF, CR)
• Six themes plus automatic light/dark, and bundled coding fonts
• Big-file mode keeps typing smooth past 100 MB
• Available in 10 languages
PRIVATE BY DESIGN.
No account, no sign-in, no telemetry, no ads. Your files stay on your device and your history is stored locally. The app makes no network requests of its own.
Free, with no in-app purchases and nothing locked behind a payment.
