Textfold - Text Editor
Fast Notepad for Code & Notes
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
The fast, beautiful, native text editor for your Mac. The free tier is complete forever; one $19.99 purchase unlocks Pro. No subscription, no accounts, no tracking.
Textfold is the fast, beautiful, native plain-text editor your Mac deserves — the polished middle ground between TextEdit and a heavyweight IDE. If you moved to the Mac and miss a serious, lightweight notepad-style editor — tabbed editing, code folding, and powerful search for free, plus column mode and macros in Pro — Textfold was built for you. It launches instantly, keeps typing latency imperceptible even in huge files, and feels right at home on modern macOS with its Liquid Glass design.
FREE — A COMPLETE EDITOR, FOREVER
Everything you need for everyday writing and coding, with no time limits and no nagging:
• Syntax highlighting for about 60 languages, with code folding and brace matching
• Find & replace with full ICU regular expressions and incremental search
• Multiple cursors — edit many places at once
• Smart highlighting: double-click a word to mark every occurrence
• Inline word completion — ghost-text suggestions from your document, press Tab to accept
• Encodings done right: UTF-8, UTF-16, Shift-JIS, GB, Big5, Latin and more, with conversion between them
• Line-ending detection and CRLF / LF / CR conversion
• Full right-to-left (Arabic, Hebrew) and CJK correctness — bidirectional text simply works
• Line operations: sort, reverse, deduplicate, join, trim whitespace
• Outline / symbol menu for quick navigation
• Line numbers, invisible characters, soft wrap
• Unlimited documents, windows, and native tabs
• Autosave, Versions, and file-changed-on-disk detection
• Light and dark appearance with two built-in themes
The free tier is complete and permanent. No trial countdown, no locked basics, no launch nags — ever.
