MacPad is a small native macOS plain-text editor modeled after Windows Notepad. It is intentionally focused on fast, simple text editing instead of project management, plugins, or rich-document workflows.
Latest release: MacPad 1.0.7
MacPad 1.0.7 includes session-restore privacy hardening, stricter text-file opening, and SHA-256 checksums for release ZIPs.
MacPad should stay close to the Notepad-style idea:
- plain-text editing
- fast startup
- small native macOS app
- basic file operations
- find and replace
- multiple windows and tabs
- session metadata restore without storing document text
Feature ideas that add extensions, themes, language-aware editing, command plugins, Markdown workflows, or project-level behavior probably belong in MacPad Pro instead.
- Use Issues for reproducible bugs and small feature requests.
- Use Discussions for questions, ideas, comparisons, and broader design discussion.
- Use pull requests for focused code or documentation changes.
The wiki is maintained as curated project documentation. Proposed wiki changes should go through Issues, Discussions, or pull requests first so changes can be reviewed before they become public documentation.
