Npp - Lightweight Text Editor
Editor with Tabs persistence
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
NPP — Notepad++ Inspired Code Editor
A fast, lightweight code editor that treats your unsaved work as sacred. Whether you're a professional developer, a student, or a tinkerer, NPP gives you the essentials to write and edit code — without the weight of a full IDE, and without ever fearing lost changes.
NEVER LOSE YOUR WORK
This is what makes NPP different. Every tab and every unsaved edit is continuously saved to disk in the background. Close the app, swipe it away, run out of battery, or let it crash mid-sentence — it doesn't matter. Reopen NPP and every tab is exactly where you left it, down to the last character you typed. No "Save?" dialogs, no warnings, no anxiety. Commit to a real file only when you're truly done.
MULTI-TAB EDITING
Work on many files at once with intuitive tabs. Spin up as many scratch tabs as you like — for quick notes, snippets, or full drafts — without touching your file system. Switch between them instantly.
BUILT FOR BIG FILES
A rebuilt editing engine keeps typing smooth and responsive even in very large files, where other mobile editors stutter.
