Notepad++ Code Editor Comes to Mac After 20-Year Wait

An open-source community has ported Notepad++ to macOS as a native universal binary.

The app keeps the core editing features of the Windows version while using a Cocoa-based Mac interface.

It runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, avoiding compatibility layers.

The release gives Mac users a long-requested native version of the popular text editor after two decades.
