CotEditor7.1.1

Open a web page draft, source file, or other plain-text document in CotEditor, edit its characters directly, and save the result without rich-text formatting getting in the way. It gives web authors a focused place to adjust markup and lets programmers read or revise source files in the same workspace. Plain text also makes it useful for notes, configuration files, scripts, and documents that must remain editable across different tools.

Syntax coloring distinguishes language elements while you work, making HTML, CSS, and programming code easier to scan. Line numbers, indentation support, and visible whitespace help with alignment and locating specific lines. Its find-and-replace tools can search within a document, apply regular expressions, and handle repeated edits more efficiently than manual changes. Tabs and split editing keep related files or separate sections accessible during comparison and revision. Document statistics and character information provide quick checks when length or exact text content matters.

CotEditor suits writers who prepare web content, developers maintaining source code, and anyone who wants a Mac text editor for clean, directly editable files. CotEditor 7.1.0 is freeware in the Reading & Writing category for macOS, and this release is built for Apple Silicon (arm64) Macs. Its distinct emphasis is a native Mac editing environment that combines code-oriented inspection with the simplicity of plain text.
