A text editor for the way you work on Mac.

Open your folders, switch between files, and see your Markdown take shape as you type.

Apple silicon · macOS 14 or later

TEXTLEY on Mac with two folder vaults, a Markdown source document, and its live preview
Markdown source and live preview in the same window.

Your files, close at hand.

Open one folder or several. The sidebar keeps their files in view and updates as things change on disk.

Switch without losing your place
Tabs keep their own edits, selection, and scroll position. Move any tab to a new Mac window.
Write in Markdown
Preview headings, tables, fenced code, and local images alongside the source. Open images in their own tabs.
Edit ordinary text files
Use syntax coloring, line numbers, and regex find and replace. TEXTLEY preserves supported file encodings and line endings.

Bring your agent into TEXTLEY.

Connect Claude Code, Codex, or Claude chat to the open Mac app. Start with read access. Enable writing when you want your agent to make changes.
