App: Moped Text Editor
Developer: Roberto Machorro
Genres: Entwickler-Tools, Dienst­programme

If you come from the Windows world, you may be missing a small utility: Notepad, a simple but essential tool for editing plain text files. While macOS counts on its own built-in text editor: TextEdit, it is actually more like a Rich Text Editor with full images, fonts and layout support. Similar to the built-in Windows Write or WordPad.

It kind of feels heavier than it should and in the way. There are known settings to make it look and feel lighter, but inside it's still the same. You can get the source and peek inside. It's bigger and with older code than it needs to be.

Moped intends to give a Windows Notepad feel, while being a full native of macOS, with a touch of modern syntax highlight and themes.

Tip: If you have any issues or questions, please use the Support URL in order to get the best help, posting a review with a question doesn't really give much choices (or space) to assist you.

Release notes:
Even smaller app size: 13MB deployed archive for both Apple and Intel chips.
This was tested under fresh macOS installs of Big Sur and Monterrey, picking even more file types on top!
