MacPad is a small native macOS plain-text editor modeled after Windows Notepad. It is intentionally focused on fast, simple text editing instead of project management, plugins, or rich-document workflows.
The latest release page always contains the current version, download, checksum, and release notes.
MacPad should stay close to the Notepad-style idea:
- plain-text editing
- fast startup
- small native macOS app
- basic file operations
- native Open Recent
- find and replace
- persistent editor font preference
- VoiceOver and keyboard navigation support
- multiple windows and tabs
- window and tab metadata restore without storing document text
Extensions, themes, language-aware editing, command plugins, Markdown workflows, and project-level behavior are outside MacPad's focused scope.
- Use Issues for reproducible bugs and small feature requests.
- Use Discussions for questions, ideas, comparisons, and broader design discussion.
- Use pull requests for focused code or documentation changes.
The wiki is maintained as curated project documentation. Proposed wiki changes should go through Issues, Discussions, or pull requests first so changes can be reviewed before they become public documentation.
