A cross-platform, reimplementation of Notepad++. Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be considered safe for critically important work. There are numerous bugs and half-working implementations. Pull requests are greatly appreciated. Windows packages are available as an installer or a stand-alone zip file on the release page. The installer provides additional components such as an auto-updater and Windows context menu integration.

Features

  • Packages are available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
  • You can easily install it with Winget
  • By default, MacOS enables font smoothing which causes text to appear quite differently from the Windows version
  • Current development is done using QtCreator with the Microsft Visual C++ (msvc) compiler
  • Documentation available
  • Examples included
