TinyText

A clean, native plain text editor for macOS. The missing base layer of TinySuite — opens any unstructured text file and gets out of your way.

• Plain text editing — open .txt, .cfg, .conf, .ini, .config, .properties, .env, .rc, and more
• Folder sidebar — browse directories, favorites, and subdirectories
• Multi-tab editing — open multiple files in tabs with dirty-file indicators
• Auto-save — saves as you type with dirty-file indicators
• Find & replace — native macOS find bar (Cmd+F)
• Quick open — fuzzy file finder (Cmd+P)
• Line numbers — optional gutter with current line highlight
• Word wrap — on by default, toggle with Opt+Z
• Font size control — Cmd+/Cmd- to adjust, Cmd+0 to reset
• Smart pairs — auto-close brackets, quotes, parentheses
• Line manipulation — move, duplicate, or delete lines with shortcuts
• File watcher — reloads when files change externally
• Export — PDF, HTML, or copy as rich text
• Light & dark mode — follows system appearance
• Open from Finder — double-click .txt files to open in TinyText
• On-device AI — Cmd+K to edit, transform, or ask questions (CoreML, fully offline)

• macOS 26.0+
• Xcode 26+ (to build)
