About

Caxton is a native macOS text editor built for files that break everything else: multi-gigabyte logs, CSVs past Excel's 1,048,576-row limit, SQL dumps, and single-line minified files. It memory-maps files instead of loading them into RAM, so a 10 GB, 80-million-line log opens immediately, a full-file search returns 1.6 million matches in 1.3 seconds, and memory stays under 200 MB. Large CSVs open as a typed, sortable, editable grid: sort 2 million rows numerically in 8.2 seconds, filter, dedupe, and edit cells, then save back to the same plain CSV file. Find and replace runs at scale, including Replace All across 1.6 million sites in 1.7 seconds as a single undo step, plus batch replacement pairs and find-in-files with previews and backups. AppKit and Swift throughout, no Electron, notarized, works fully offline. Every performance claim is published with methodology at caxton.app/docs/benchmarks. 7-day free trial, no card required.

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.
