Description

BBEdit is the leading professional text, code, and markup editor for the Macintosh. As the "go to" tool for web site designers, web application developers, writers, and software developers, this award-winning product provides an abundance of high-performance features for editing, searching, and manipulation of text, code, and HTML/XML markup. As a replacement for TextWrangler, BBEdit is built by the same developers, using the same award-winning technology, and is identical to TextWrangler in every way you're used to. BBEdit is Apple Silicon native, and compatible with macOS Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura. An intelligent interface provides easy access to BBEdit’s best-of-class features, including: grep pattern matching; search and replace across multiple files; project definition tools; function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages; code folding; FTP and SFTP open and save; AppleScript, Automator, and Shortcuts support; Unix scripting support; text and code completion; a complete set of robust HTML tools; and more. BBEdit offers a 30-day evaluation period (beginning the first time you use it on your computer), during which its full feature set is available. During the evaluation period, BBEdit is fully functional. After the evaluation period has expired, you can continue to use BBEdit for free, forever, with no nag screens or unsolicited interruptions. In “free mode”, BBEdit provides a modified set of features, which incorporates a powerful set of core features. Using BBEdit in free mode costs you nothing, while providing an upgrade path to advanced features and capabilities. To enable BBEdit’s advanced features after the evaluation period is over, you will need to have an active BBEdit subscription. Subscriptions are available on either a monthly or annual basis. An active subscription gives you access to all of BBEdit’s advanced features, including any new features that we introduce during updates or major upgrades, for as long as the subscription is in good standing. Please see our comparison chart for a detailed listing of which advanced features are available with a subscription.

  • Great Editor, Not Great Subscription

    By JLM Media
    Do not get me wrong, this is a sweet editor. It is quite seriously the best editor I've ever used. The reason I do not give this app five stars is because of the not-great subscription method. It would have been nice if there were several subscription options (like Basic, Plus, and Pro, or even a one-time purchase option). Instead, there's only monthly and yearly subscription methods. There are several features that I would like to have inside of the subscription, but I'd be paying for several other features that I would never use! The subscription method is a bummer to me. Now, besides that, the editor itself is beyond awesome! I love how it colors text to show commands, general texts, etc. I love the UI, it makes editing way faster, especially when it highlights the line I'm working on. I like how it can tap into ChatGPT (though I personally do not use AI when writing scripts), I'm sure this is great for some people. Overall, great program! In conclusion, I am very happy with this editor, and I would recomend it to others.
  • Subscription-based editor now?

    This is ridiculous. It's a great editor, but paying a subscription for it is just asking too much. I'm tired of subscriptions for everything. If a product update is worth it, it should stand on its own merit. We will pay for upgrades but not for forced subscriptions... Deleting this thing from my systems now. And yes, I did buy it a while back and when I opened it up it had a subscription requirement...

    1. When I just edit theme color, it creates a copy, which I can't delete it or rename.. Next, Dark theme is just really bad.. I just want a Xcode 15 like theme for Light/Dark appearance! 2. Veiw-> Text Display -> Hide Page Guied will not be saved after app close!
  • Wonderful free text editor

    As an excellent basic text editor, BBEdit cannot be beat. There are other IDE-like editors out there that are better for specialized applications, but it is the one I reach for when I want to take a llook at a wide range of files. It is a good counterpart to notepad on Windows.
  • Not made for programmers

    This application falls short in very basic categories and is poor (at best) for editing python code. Somple things like the use of the tab key, auto commenting blocks and functions tracing are not available. Not a plus for an DIE. Better free replacements include Sublime Text, pyCharm, and every other text editor on the planet. Pass!!
  • Can't live without BBEdit

    BBEdit is the reason I use a Mac. Seriously! There is a major shortage of good text editors (in my opinion) on Windows. Over the years, I've become so much more productive because of all the features that BBEdit has built-in. These days I feel lost without it. Please give it a try--it's amazing.
  • My most used text tool

    Been using this for years. Whenever I need to open something that "looks" like text, I used this, and it usually works. Also nice for managing text files with search and replace, etc. Highly Reccomend
