Getting started

Three steps and you are in

  1. Download the .dmg

    One file. Drag it to Applications and it is installed.

  2. Open your project

    It indexes symbols the first time. After that the index is cached and opening is instant.

  3. Navigate with ⌘ + click

    Jump between definitions and usages. The gutter marks tell you what you have touched.

What it does

What you expect from an IDE, in an editor that starts instantly

Jump to the code, stop hunting for it

Command + click a call and you land on its definition. Click the definition and you get everyone who uses it — which is what you actually wanted to know.

  • Indexes the whole project, not just the open file
  • A picker when there is more than one destination
  • Go to symbol (⇧⌘O) and file outline (⌘F12)
  • Jump history to get back where you came from
InvoiceService.ts

Git right where you are looking

The lines you touched are marked in the gutter as you type. No second window needed to know what changed.

  • Blue for modified, green for new
  • File status in the tree and on the tab
  • Commit, stash and history without leaving the editor
  • Uses your real Git: your hooks, your .gitignore, your config
InvoiceService.ts

Format without rewriting

XML and JSON are re-indented by moving whitespace, never by reinterpreting the content. A twenty-digit number still has twenty digits.

  • No lost precision, no mangled escapes
  • Respects CDATA, comments and entities
  • Minify and expand with one shortcut
  • Warns you when a file arrives on a single line
invoice.xml

And everything else you take for granted when you code all day

  • A real terminal

    An actual pseudo-terminal running your login shell, not a fake console.

  • Minimap

    A miniature of the file, in colour, with click to jump.

  • Project-wide search

    Regular expressions and replace across every file.

  • Pick up where you left off

    Folder, tabs, cursor and split are restored when you reopen.

  • English and Spanish

    System menu included. It remembers the language you choose.

  • Sized to you

    The whole interface scales: text, icons, rows and bars together.

Reviews

Built for the work you do every day

Sample text while the app is in beta — these are not yet reviews from real people.

  • I opened a monorepo with twenty-five thousand files and the index was ready before I finished my coffee.

    Maya WhitfieldBackend

  • The gutter marks broke my habit of keeping git diff open in another window.

    Tom AshcroftFull stack

  • I use it for the huge XML files no other editor formats without wrecking my decimals.

    Priya RaghunathanIntegrations

  • It feels like the paid IDE I used before, except it opens instantly.

    Jonas BrandtFrontend

  • ⌘ + clicking a definition to see who calls it is what I use most all day.

    Elena VasquezPHP

  • It starts instantly, and on a Tuesday morning that is worth more than it sounds.

Frequently asked questions

Missing yours? Write to us and we will answer.

Write to us
Does the free plan expire?

No. The full editor — all 13 languages, symbol navigation, Git, the terminal and formatting — is free and does not expire. No account, no card, and no limit on projects or files.

What does Pro add?

What arrives after the beta: the AI assistant inside the editor, semantic completion per language, settings and snippets synced across a team, and priority support. Nothing you already use for free moves to Pro.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac with an Apple chip. The build published today is Apple Silicon only; if you need an Intel version, write to us and we will look into it.

macOS says it cannot verify the developer. Why?

Because the app is not notarised by Apple yet, which is a paid step requiring a developer account. To open it the first time, right-click the app and choose Open; you only have to do it once. Notarisation is on the list.

Can I install VS Code or PHPStorm extensions?

No. Every editor has its own extension API and they are not interchangeable. NoteCode ++ has its own plugin system, sandboxed and with permissions declared one by one.

Will there be a Windows version?

It has been scoped and it is feasible: almost all the code is portable. What is left is adapting the terminal, the title bar and path handling, plus building on Windows. No date yet.

Which languages does it support?

Highlighting and folding for PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, HTML, CSS, JSON, Python, SQL, XML and Markdown. Symbol navigation understands PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript and Vue.

What does it do with my code? Does it upload anything?

Nothing. There is no server, no telemetry and no account. Everything — the symbol index, your settings, your session — stays on your Mac.

Is it available in Spanish?

In English and Spanish, system menu included. It starts in English and remembers the language you choose.

Download it and open it. It explains itself.

One file, no installer and no sign-up.
