About

Caxton is a native macOS large file text editor and CSV editor in one: a workbench for logs, CSVs, TSVs, JSON, SQL dumps, and exports of any size. One app instead of a text editor, a spreadsheet, and a log viewer: open the file and work. Every delimited file opens as text and as a typed grid; edits in either view show in the other, and saving writes the same file back. Nothing is imported. It memory maps the file instead of loading it into RAM. A 50 GB log (403 million lines) opens immediately with memory under 160 MB. A 10 million row CSV opens as a sortable grid in 4.4 s, past Excel's row limit. Methodology at caxton.app/docs/benchmarks. Find and replace with exact counts, filters that keep line numbers, a log viewer mode with severity filters, file compare, 18 encodings, typed sorting, fill series, remove duplicates. Built for data engineers, SREs, DBAs, and analysts. After the 7-day trial, opening, searching, and filtering stay free; a license adds editing and saving.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's free and open-source, extremely fast start-up times, uses very little memory, and surprisingly customizable (I barely did any myself though; I wanted to keep it light). I find it useful for swiftly taking notes at a moment's notice, but I have also used it to quickly peek through config files, source code, or even certain text documents--they all just work. As a user who swaps between Windows and Linux, it being cross-platform is such a huge plus for me, and is the leading reason why I use it over Notepad++. As much as I like tinkering with software and hardware alike, I also don't want to find out that certain features I use regularly on one OS's notepad don't exist on other OS's notepads, even some third-party ones. It's just some peace of mind.

Cons

  • It lags for ~1 sec when it wraps text for the first time since the app was opened. Even after using this app for over a year, I still find the logo hard to identify as a text editor of any kind. I still have to tell people who borrow my laptop that my notepad app is this, even when it's pinned to the taskbar and start menu.
