CodeEdit is a native macOS code editor built with Swift and SwiftUI. It provides a lightweight, extensible environment for editing source code across many languages.

Use cases

• Edit source code on macOS with a native, fast editor.
• Write scripts and programs with syntax highlighting and code completion.
• Perform project-wide find and replace in a macOS‑only IDE.
• Run terminal commands and tasks directly inside the editor.
• Review code changes and manage Git repositories without leaving the app.
• Customize the editor with extensions and snippets.

When to choose

• You need a fully native macOS experience with Swift performance.
• You prefer a lightweight alternative to Electron‑based editors.
• You want deep integration with macOS features like the file system and native UI.
• You value open‑source software that can be extended via community plugins.

When to avoid

• You require cross‑platform support for Windows or Linux.
• You depend on VS Code extensions or a large ecosystem of plugins.
• You need a production‑ready, stable release for critical work.
• You need built‑in support for languages that require heavy language servers not yet integrated.
