About This App

Textadept is a lightweight, fast, and highly extensible text editor built for programmers and developers. The application consists of less than 2000 lines of C code and under 4000 lines of Lua, prioritizing minimalism and performance. Users can customize and extend the entire editor using the Lua programming language — everything from navigation commands to menus, key bindings, and core event handling is scriptable. It is available as donationware across multiple platforms including macOS.

Textadept ships a native Apple Silicon build as of version 12.9. If your copy is older and you're running an Apple Silicon Mac, update to the latest version from the developer's website or through MacUpdate to get the native build. The latest installer will automatically serve the Universal Binary on M-series Macs, so your existing configuration and scripts will carry over without any migration needed. You'll see better performance and improved battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
