Chime
An open-source, modular text editor for macOS with a focus on extensibility and developer experience.
What is Chime?
Chime is an open-source text editor specifically designed for macOS, built with Swift and SwiftUI. It provides a modern, extensible editing environment with features like multi-phase syntax highlighting, semantic symbol information, and a robust extension system. The project focuses on modular architecture and aims to replace commercial macOS editors with a free, community-driven alternative.
macOS developers seeking a native, extensible code editor with strong language support and modern tooling. It's ideal for those who value open-source components and integration with Language Server Protocol (LSP) for enhanced coding features.
Developers choose Chime for its native macOS integration, modular design, and rich extension ecosystem. Unlike many editors, it combines pattern-based, tree-sitter, and LSP-based syntax highlighting for superior accuracy and offers a free, open-source alternative to commercial macOS editors.
