## What it is
CodeEdit is a free, open-source, native macOS code editor built in Swift and SwiftUI, offering syntax highlighting, code completion, find and replace, snippets, a terminal, task running, debugging, and git integration. It is designed to supplement Xcode for non-Apple-platform projects while feeling fully at home on macOS.

## Use cases
- edit code natively on macOS without Electron-based editors
- find a lightweight alternative to VS Code for Mac
- supplement Xcode for non-Apple-platform projects
- run terminal commands and tasks inside my editor
- manage git and code review from my editor
- extend and customize my code editor

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fully native macOS code editor
- you prefer open-source, community-driven tooling
- you work on non-Apple-platform projects and want something faster than Xcode
- you want to shape an editor's roadmap by testing pre-releases

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready editor today - it is still in development
- you need mature debugging or extension ecosystems like VS Code
- you develop Apple-platform apps where Xcode is required
- you need cross-platform support - it is macOS only

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: editor, developer-tools, version-control, cli
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, operating-systems
- platform: -
- tags: code-editor, swiftui, native-macos, ide, syntax-highlighting, git-integration, open-source, lightweight-editor, macos, desktop
