Aurora Editor is a community-built, native macOS IDE written in Swift/SwiftUI, offering Xcode-like development with multi-language support and Git integration. The project has been officially sunset and is no longer maintained, though the code remains available for forking.
Use cases

- lightweight IDE with low RAM usage on Mac
- Xcode-like editor with multi-language support

When to choose
- you want a native, fast macOS IDE and are willing to fork or accept no updates
- you want to study or build upon an open-source Swift/SwiftUI IDE codebase
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained editor with regular updates and bug fixes
