Chime2.2.5

Chime lets Mac users create, revise, and save written documents and source-code files from one focused editor. It gives people a direct place to work on prose, notes, scripts, and other text-based material without treating those tasks as separate kinds of work. By combining a text editor with a code editor, it suits users who move between ordinary writing and programming during the same session.

A writer can use Chime for drafts, notes, and other written material, while a developer can open source code, make edits, and return to the same workspace for programming tasks. This shared approach fits mixed work such as documenting code, revising technical text, or moving quickly between prose and code. Individual writers, students, developers, and other Mac users who handle text directly can all use it for focused editing. Its value is the shared workflow: explanatory writing and code remain part of one editing environment instead of requiring separate applications.

Chime is a Reading & Writing program for macOS and is released as freeware. The current version is 2.2.5,157. It requires macOS 12 Monterey or later and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. These system details make it suitable for newer Macs across both processor families, provided they meet the Monterey-era operating-system requirement.
