  • TextEd.app

    Discontinued A replacement of Apples TextEdit.app without RDF and iCloud, it starts much faster.

  • https://github.com/jeena/TextEd.app/releases

    It starts virtually instantly, and all it does is plain text. No other formats, no highlighting, nothing. Which is all I need.

    Less is more.

  • TextMate

    TextMate is a graphical text editor for macOS 10.12 or later

  • I know no one talks about it anymore but TextMate 2 is still actively being developed and I find it excellent.
