Tincta

Tincta is a stable, fast, intuitive and free text editor for Mac OS X. 

We are currently working on the first version – feel free to test the beta and give us feedback and tell us what you miss. 

It combines the most intelligent coloring algorithms with the least resource use. And of course you can freely change the color profiles according to your taste. Tincta’s line numbering engine not only is fast enough to numberate the Bible in the blink of an eye but also supports line wrapping with ease. Tincta knows when an open file was changed by another application and supports full drag & drop. 

Tincta was written and designed from ground up. We don’t use any third party code or technologies (besides Mac OS X) and we keep our codebase small and clean. 

Other features that makes working with texts easier:

  • convert line endings
  • convert tabs to spaces (or vice versa)
  • change case
  • show invisible characters
  • search and replace
  • page guide
  • printing
  • spelling correction
  • change encodings

Furthermore Doorman can generate speakable passwords that are easier to remember because they follow the syllable construction pattern of natural language.
