Chime (Alpha)3.0.0

Chime (Alpha) lets users read, write, and edit ordinary text and source code in one focused editor. It addresses the need to move between prose and programming files without changing applications, while keeping the workspace deliberately minimal. Modern editing features are organized around concentration rather than a crowded interface.

Chime is an open-source Reading & Writing editor for macOS, distributed as freeware. Its support for the Language Server Protocol brings language-aware tooling to code editing, while extensions can provide deeper integration with a project. Those extensions are native to the Mac, reflecting the application's goal of fitting naturally into the platform.

It suits writers drafting or revising text, developers changing code, and projects where editor extensions benefit from project-level context. The current 3.0.0,205 release requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
