Taco HTML Edit
Taco HTML Edit is a lightweight HTML and PHP editor for macOS, designed for web developers and designers who need a straightforward code editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, spell checking and live browser preview capabilities. It featured colour-coded markup, real-time PHP evaluation, and integration with external browsers for testing. The app was popular among front-end developers in the early-to-mid 2010s as a no-frills alternative to heavier IDEs.

1 suggestionTaco HTML Edit has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developer. There is no native Apple Silicon build and no further updates are planned. The Intel build still runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working entirely on that release. You have roughly two years to migrate your workflow to an actively maintained alternative. For a straightforward replacement with similar lightweight feel, consider Sublime Text (paid, fast, cross-platform native on Apple Silicon), Visual Studio Code (free, extensible, native on Apple Silicon), or BBEdit (paid, Mac-native, powerful for web and text work). If you need the live preview and PHP testing features specifically, Sublime Text or VS Code with appropriate extensions provide comparable functionality. Geany is a free option, though it is more technical.
