## What it is
A native Mac OS X GUI frontend for the Neovim text editor, built in Objective-C++. It wraps Neovim with a proper macOS app experience including menus, tabs, multiple windows, and clipboard support.

## Use cases
- run neovim as a native mac app
- gui for vim on macos
- neovim with mac menus and tabs
- use vim without a terminal on os x
- multiple neovim windows on mac

## When to choose
- you want a native macOS GUI for Neovim rather than a terminal
- you need Mac-native menus, tabs, and multi-window editing with Neovim

## When to avoid
- you need an actively developed or widely supported frontend
- you use Linux or Windows
- you need macOS 10.15+ support, since builds target 10.9-10.14
