A drop-in replacement for UILabel that supports attributes, data detectors, links, and more. TTTAttributedLabel provides a simple way to performantly render attributed strings. As a bonus, it also supports link embedding, both automatically with NSTextCheckingTypes and manually by specifying a range for a URL, address, phone number, event, or transit information. It also includes advanced paragraph style properties. As of version 1.10.0, TTTAttributedLabel supports VoiceOver through the UIAccessibilityElement protocol. Each link can be individually selected, with an accessibilityLabel equal to its string value, and a corresponding accessibilityValue for URL, phone number, and date links. Developers who wish to change this behavior or provide custom values should create a subclass and override accessibilityElements. TTTAttributedLabel can display both plain and attributed text: just pass an NSString or NSAttributedString to the setText: setter.

Kod is an open, modern text editor project for programmers on Mac OS X, built with the idea of being a versatile everyday tool for writing code and plain text. The project’s design philosophy emphasizes approachability and a relatively low barrier to entry, including UI concepts like tabs as a core part of the experience. Beyond being “yet another editor,” Kod aimed to explore how a programmer-oriented editor could feel more universal and user-friendly, especially for people who write code but don’t necessarily want an overly complex environment. The repository contains the full editor codebase and related components, but it is also clearly marked as an archived (read-only) project, indicating it’s no longer actively developed. Even so, it remains useful as a reference implementation for macOS editor architecture, UI/editor interaction patterns, and the tradeoffs involved in building a full desktop editor.
