This is great if you're looking for an amazing simple text/code editor! Beautifully designed too.
Its really good and fast alternative to texedit when you don’t want to fully load a big editor like Vscode. Its fast and does a lot. Like it!
The application requires macOS 10.15 or later.
There are many releases at github. Simply choose the one for your version of mac. I'm using macOSX version 10.14.6 (18G9216) with CotEditor Version 3.9.7 (437).
