Syntax Highlighting

50+ languages, out of the box.

Tab.Noted detects your language from the file extension and applies full syntax highlighting — no setup, no plugins. From Swift and Python to YARA rules, Suricata signatures, HCL, Protobuf, and Jinja2. Seven built-in themes. A custom theme builder for the rest.

Tab Management

Stay in the file. Stay in the flow.

Tabs that resize fluidly as you open more. Drag to reorder. Pin the ones you always need — pinned tabs survive app restarts even without being saved. Quick Open (⌘P) gets you anywhere without touching the mouse. Your workspace comes back exactly as you left it.

Search

Find it. Fix it. Move on.

Regex support. Whole-word matching. Case sensitivity. Select all occurrences at once. Search across every open tab with ⌘⇧F, or sweep an entire folder from disk. Replace All is fully undoable.

Power Editing

The tools you actually reach for.

Macro recording and playback. Snippet expansion. Clipboard history — paste anything you copied, not just the last thing. Column selection. Move lines. Sort, deduplicate, and trim. Case conversion. Toggle comments for every language. All built in, nothing to install.

Built-in Panels

More than a text box.

Minimap for long files. File browser for your project tree. Integrated terminal. Hex editor for binary inspection. Markdown preview. Side-by-side file diff. JSON tree viewer. Document statistics. All included — no extensions required.

Privacy & Ownership

Nothing leaves your machine.

No account to create. No analytics running in the background. No subscription expiring. Tab.Noted doesn't know who you are, and it doesn't need to. Your files stay on your device. The app works completely offline. Pay once — it's yours.
