[!IMPORTANT] CodeEdit is currently in development and not yet recommended for production use, however you can take part in shaping it's future by test-driving pre-release versions and submitting an issue to let us know what you think.

Motivation

Most editors in use today rely on Electron or other cross-platform frameworks, limiting their ability to fully utilize system resources. While Xcode provides a native experience, it is specifically designed for projects targeting Apple platforms.

We think developers working on projects not written for Apple platforms deserve that same macOS-native experience we get with Xcode while unlocking the full potential of the Mac.

This raised the question "what if such an editor existed?", a question that led to the creation of this concept, which our project aims to make a reality.

Mission

It is our commitment to keep CodeEdit open source and free forever, supported by the community.

TextEdit plus Xcode equals CodeEdit

Our goal is to maintain a lightweight experience, similar to TextEdit, while being able to scale up to a more feature-rich experience, comparable to Xcode, as necessary.

We strive to remain true to Apple's human interface guidelines and development patterns, ensuring CodeEdit looks and feels like an application developed by Apple themselves, which includes a meticulous attention to detail.

Community

Join our growing community on Discord and GitHub Discussions where we discuss and collaborate on all things CodeEdit. Don't be shy, jump right in and be part of the discussion!

[!NOTE] We hold a weekly meetup on Discord every Saturday at 3pm UTC where we discuss latests development, feature requests, goals, and priorities.

这是什么东西?CodeEdit 是一款免费开源的 macOS 代码编辑器,由社区开发,用 Swift 原生编写,专为 Mac 打造。
它是真正的原生 Mac 应用,还是又一个 Electron 编辑器?是一款用 Swift、AppKit 和 SwiftUI 构建的原生 macOS 应用——明确不是 Electron 或跨平台应用,这正是这个项目的初衷。
我怎么把它装到 Mac 上?目前还没有正式稳定版:你可以试用预发布版本,并在 GitHub 上提交 issue,把你的想法告诉开发团队。
除了它之外,我还需要安装别的东西吗?什么都不用——它是一个独立完整的 Mac 应用:下载一个构建版本,打开就能开始写代码。
现在能拿它干正经活儿吗?还不行——团队明确提示 CodeEdit 仍在开发中,不建议用于生产环境。
既然已经有 Xcode 了,它到底是给谁用的?面向开发非苹果平台项目的程序员。Xcode 虽然是原生应用,但只支持苹果平台的项目;CodeEdit 想让其他所有开发者也能享受到同样的原生 macOS 体验。
它收费吗——有付费版本吗?没有:它采用 MIT 许可证,项目承诺永远开源、永远免费,靠社区支持。
它现在已经能做什么了?作为预发布版本,功能已经不少了:语法高亮、代码补全、项目内查找和替换、代码片段、内置终端、任务运行、调试、git 集成、代码审查,还有扩展系统。
为什么不直接用 VS Code 或 Xcode,非要做一个全新编辑器?作者的理由是:基于 Electron 的编辑器无法充分利用 Mac 的性能,而 Xcode 只支持苹果平台的项目——所以做其他开发的程序员就没有原生选择。CodeEdit 正是要填补这个空白。
以后会有 Windows 或 Linux 版本吗?不会——它是刻意只做 macOS 的,号称“完完全全、毫不含糊地为 macOS 而写”;跨平台框架恰恰是这个项目要避开的东西。
