No AI, no bs, no plugins or agents. Syntax highlighting, multi-tab editing, a file-tree sidebar, and git branch awareness — sharing its document engine with the macOS app. Syntax highlighting for 180+ languages, with light and dark themes A beautiful reader view for Markdown (tables, task lists, code blocks) and AsciiDoc Inline completions drawn from your own file — no cloud, no AI Line numbers, word wrap, custom fonts, and a minimap for the bird's-eye view of the source file(s) Stay focused on the developing Zen mode strips the window down to just your text A quick-search palette takes you straight to any file Optional glass window style and quiet background patterns — drifting sand, ripples, mist, stars Never lose a thought with built-in revision history Automatic revision history: autosave snapshots, plus a commit every time you save Compare revisions with a unified diff and restore any version locally before committing to git Session restore brings back your folder, tabs, and place on app or computer restart For developers, by a developer Open a folder and browse it in a compact file tree Switch and create git branches; browse any file's commit history Built-in viewers for PDFs, images, video, and audio — and a hex view for everything else Yours, privately No accounts, no tracking. Telemetry free. m.Txt is a passion project — built to be the calm, instant editor its developer wanted every day, due to the frustration with many of the other editors out there being bloated with extras that wasn't asked for or wanted. ### Package name * m-txt --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 30 August 2026 - latest/stable * 30 August 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [stoicswe.com](https://stoicswe.com "https://stoicswe.com") --- ### Contact * [bsky.app](https://bsky.app/profile/stoicswe.com "https://bsky.app/profile/stoicswe.com") --- ### Donations * [github.com/sponsors/stoicswe](https://github.com/sponsors/stoicswe "https://github.com/sponsors/stoicswe") --- ### Source code * [github.com/stoicswe/minimalist](https://github.com/stoicswe/minimalist "https://github.com/stoicswe/minimalist") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/stoicswe/minimalist/issues](https://github.com/stoicswe/minimalist/issues "https://github.com/stoicswe/minimalist/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/m-txt/elementary#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install m-txt Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
