What it does

Tincta is intuitive to use on personal tasks like writing blog posts or grocery lists. But it also has all functionality you need for programming like syntax coloring, search & replace with RegEx, converting line endings and tabs & spaces, and much more.

Free one-window text editor for Mac with focus on speed, stability and ease of use.

Tincta is an elegant one-window text editor for macOS . It is intuitive to use on personal tasks like writing blog posts, drafting emails or jotting down grocery lists. But it also has all functionality you need for professional webdesign and programming. Until Fall 2022 Tincta was available on the Mac App Store. But as it is no longer compatible with macOS Ventura, we pulled it from the Store. And as Tincta is open source, you can still check out the repository and build it yourself (on Monterey or older Systems). This should not be too hard. Just take a look at the read-me. For a while now we concentrate our efforts on Wokabulary , a flash card based foreign languages vocabulary learning…from codingfriends.github.io

    I'm not the author of the app (nor i have any connection with them, just a random user). iA Writer and Writer Pro aren't well suited for me as a developer. They feel quite "strange" to me. Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
