We've implemented performance improvements in our open-source Swift text view that reduces CPU time by up to 87% on each keystroke. The whole editor should feel more snappy!

Our text view is also now completely compatible with all available macOS accessibility APIs!

For those of you who like to live life on the edge, we’ve included an experimental language server installation menu. From here, you can install servers for most languages. We’ll be iterating quickly, so expect frequent updates on this.
August 26, 2025 at 8:43 PM
We've added support for external file changes. If you lint a file, or pull changes from git, those changes will be reflected in your open editors. If there's a conflict, CodeEdit will prompt you to save your changes or use the updated version from disk.

A long-time pain point when working across multiple files was that CodeEdit didn’t remember your place when switching tabs. That’s fixed! CodeEdit will remember your scroll position and cursor placements between tabs, and between sessions so you can pick up right where you left off.

Drawing invisible characters is one of our oldest open issues. This release finally closes it! You can now enable invisible characters, and customize which ones show as well as the placeholders used in their place.

Previously, tasks displayed their output as plain text. Now they run in a specialized terminal built just for tasks. They're interactive, output color, and everything else you'd expect from your terminal!

Announcing our latest release v0.3.6!🎉

This version packs in new features that continue to bring CodeEdit up to speed for use as a daily driver editor. Terminal task output, invisible characters, editor restoration, external file changes, and more!

It’s always great to see community contributions getting noticed! Our two most recent Swift packages, WelcomeWindow and AboutWindow, were mentioned on the latest @SwiftPackageIndex.mas.to.ap.brid.gy podcast. Nice surprise.

In the next version of CodeEdit...

Editors reflect external file changes! If your file is modified by another program on your machine, CodeEdit will intelligently reload any open editors to show you the most up-to-date version of that file.
July 18, 2025 at 2:31 PM
As always, these options are completely customizable. You can replace the character rendered for each invisible character, and add or remove what characters codes you are warned about. You can also disable each setting entirely!

In the next version of CodeEdit...

Invisible characters and warning characters!

Invisible characters render whitespace in your editor, including tabs, spaces, newlines, and more. Warning characters warn of potentially dangerous characters like the zero-width space.
July 11, 2025 at 5:08 PM
In the next version of CodeEdit...

CodeEdit remembers your cursors, undo stack, selections, and file positions when switching editors, even across sessions. Close your workspace and pick up exactly where you left off next time.

We've written a little more in detail on our blog, check it out!

Also a huge shoutout to George Tchelidze. Without him, these would have never come together. Go check out his project CircuitPro where he's using these packages too!

AboutWindow is a slick upgrade for your about window. By default it includes your app's icon and version, but provides customization options to add more, such as contributors or licenses. Each page has a smooth animation that you can hook into with SwiftUI animations.

WelcomeWindow is a SwiftUI Scene that lets you create a welcome window similar to the one provided by Xcode and CodeEdit. For document-based apps, there's an easy-to-integrate recent document list. It comes with beautiful defaults, but can be customized to your taste.

More nitty gritty code folding details in @codeedit.app. Now that I have the data model done I'm working on making sure the ribbon drawing is perfect. Now, adjacent lines draw with a horizontal line, and collapsed folds inside hovered folds nicely clip to a matched, round, border for clarity. #swift

This was seriously hard to orchestrate, but I finally have code folding working while typing in @codeedit.app. The issue I was facing was remembering folded regions while editing text, and doing it efficiently.

Now all thats left is a few drawing issues and a smooth animation! #swift

The source editor Find Panel gets a Find Method picker. Options include: Contains, Matches Word, Starts With, Ends With, and Regular Expression. This work wraps up in-editor find! 🔎📝

Making progress on code folding for @codeedit.app. Very much a WIP but I think I'm making some good progress!
