Pine
Pine is a lightweight, open-source code editor for macOS designed for developers who want a minimal yet functional text editing environment. Based on its bundle ID and naming convention, it appears to be a GitHub-hosted project intended as a simple alternative to heavier IDEs, offering syntax highlighting, basic project navigation, and core editing features. It targets developers who prefer a streamlined, distraction-free interface for coding tasks.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information about Pine's Apple Silicon support status or current maintenance status. Because this appears to be an open-source project hosted on GitHub (based on the bundle ID structure), your best option is to visit the GitHub repository directly to check the project's status, review recent commits, and look for any discussion of native Apple Silicon support or precompiled binaries. If the repository shows active development, ask the maintainers directly whether a native build is available or planned. If the project appears abandoned or shows no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build, you should plan an alternative before macOS 28 arrives in September 2028 — Intel-only builds will not launch on that release. Popular alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support include Visual Studio Code (free), JetBrains Fleet (free tier available), Nova (paid, Mac App Store), or BBEdit (paid, long-established macOS editor) — all run natively on M-series Macs and are actively maintained.
