About Koi Editor
(Koi Editor is now Peeknext)
Peeknext is a professional text and code editor for macOS, built around three principles: fast, local, and scriptable.
Designed for low-latency editing and large-file performance, Peeknext includes multi-cursor editing, synchronized views, project-wide search, context-aware autocomplete, syntax highlighting for 30+ languages, code folding, file outlines, customizable themes and keybindings, and extensive editing commands.
Peeknext requires no account, includes no telemetry, and works entirely offline. Configuration and keybindings use plain text files, while custom editor commands can be written in Python.
Optional AI features connect to local models through Ollama for code completion and inline assistance.
Built for Apple Silicon Macs, Peeknext combines a high-performance editing core with native macOS integration.

Kakoune
Kakoune is a highly efficient, modal text editor that focuses on real-time feedback and powerful, intuitive multi-selection capabilities. Inspired by Vim but offering its own distinct approach to modal editing, Kakoune prioritizes a selection-based workflow that makes text manipulation feel natural and fluid. Instead of commands operating on cursors, commands operate on selections, allowing users to edit and navigate with precision and speed. Kakoune features robust multi-caret editing, context-aware autocompletion, and extensive language support, with performance optimized for working with large files and complex codebases. Designed to be scriptable and extendable with shell commands, Kakoune integrates smoothly with UNIX tools, giving users flexibility in customization. Known for its responsiveness and adaptability, Kakoune is ideal for developers who prefer a keyboard-driven interface and appreciate real-time, immediate feedback in their editing workflow.

Code Browser
Code Browser is a folding text editor for Linux and Windows, designed to hierarchically structure any kind of text file and especially source code. It makes navigation through source code faster and easier. Code Browser is especially designed to keep a good overview of the code of large projects, but is also useful for a simple CSS file. Ideal if you are fed up of having to scroll through thousands of lines of code. It supports syntax highlighting for all major languages and custom syntax highlighting can also be added. Although Code Browser was initially designed to edit programs, it can also be used for different tasks such as plain text outlining or helping to understand existing source code. I've added a page with suggestions to take advantage of folding.

Void Editor
Void is an open source AI code editor and Cursor alternative built as a fork of VS Code, enabling developers to write code with advanced AI assistance while retaining full control over their data. It supports seamless integration with any large language model, such as DeepSeek, Llama, Qwen, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, connecting directly without routing through a private backend. Core features include tab‑triggered autocomplete, inline quick edit, and a versatile AI chat interface offering normal chat, a restricted gather mode for read/search-only tasks, and an agent mode that automates file and folder operations, terminal commands, and MCP tool access. Void delivers high‑performance operations, including fast apply on files with thousands of lines, alongside checkpoint management for model updates, native tool execution, and lint error detection. Developers can transfer all themes, keybindings, and settings from VS Code in one click and host models locally or via the cloud.

Caret
Based on the amazing Ace editing component, Caret brings professional-strength text editing to Chrome OS. With Caret, you no longer need to install a second OS to get what other platforms take for granted: a serious editor for local files, aimed at working programmers. Caret offers syntax highlighting for a wide variety of languages, and all of the standard themes that come with Ace, including emulations of coloring from other editors like Eclipse, XCode, and the Chrome Dev Tools. Once you've gotten used to making many changes with just a keystroke or two, it's hard to go back to just one cursor. Caret offers multiple cursors and selections, and support for Sublime keybindings like Ctrl-D (select next match). Why bother learning keyboard shortcuts? With the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P), you can just start typing what you want, Caret will fuzzy-search the menu configuration, find the command you want, and execute it for you. You never need to touch the mouse again.
