Installing
Open the disk image and drag Koditor to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet: choose Open. Koditor needs macOS 26 or later.
Updating
Koditor › Check for Updates… looks for a new version at once and shows what changed in it. The second time you open Koditor, it asks whether to check by itself once a day.
Koditor › Settings… › Updates turns that check on or off, and can let Koditor download updates in the background and install them when you quit. Your tabs and unsaved text come back after an update, as after any quit.
A check sends Koditor’s version and nothing about you, your Mac or your files. The privacy policy says exactly what.
Your licence
Every copy of Koditor starts with 14 days of every feature. Koditor › Licence… shows how many days are left, and takes your key once you have one: paste it there to unlock the copy you already have. Nothing is reinstalled and your tabs stay where they are.
Without a licence, after the 14 days or when a yearly licence isn’t renewed, Koditor is read-only: you can still open, read, copy and save your text under a new name, but not edit it. Entering a key ends that at once.
Koditor checks the key on your Mac and never asks you to sign in.
Opening files from Terminal
Koditor › Command-Line Tool… shows one command that adds koditor to Terminal. It asks for an administrator’s password once. Then:
koditor .- opens the folder you are in
koditor notes.txt:42- opens a file at line 42
koditor -w- waits until its tabs are closed
With -w, git can use Koditor to write commit messages:
git config --global core.editor "koditor -w"Where your text is kept
Your tabs, their unsaved text and your settings are kept in Koditor’s own folder on your Mac, and never leave it:
~/Library/Containers/com.muratgaygusuz.koditorRemoving Koditor
Quit Koditor and move it from Applications to the Trash. To remove its settings and unsaved tabs too, move its folder (above) to the Trash as well. Unsaved text in it is gone once the Trash is emptied.
If you added the koditor command, remove it with sudo rm /usr/local/bin/koditor.
Free for 14 days, then €9 a year.
Every feature in the trial, and every update while your licence runs.
