Neon Vision Editor is a lightweight, modern macOS text editor focused on **speed, readability, and fast syntax highlighting**.
|
||
It is intentionally minimal: quick edits, fast file access, no IDE bloat.
|
||
|
||
> Status: **alpha / beta**
|
||
> Platform target: **macOS 26 (Tahoe)**
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Download
|
||
|
||
Prebuilt binaries are available via **GitHub Releases**.
|
||
|
||
- Latest release: **v0.2.3-alpha** (23 Jan 2026)
|
||
- Architecture: Apple Silicon (Intel not tested)
|
||
- Notarization: *not yet*
|
||
|
||
If you don’t want to build from source, this is the recommended path.

||
|
||
## Why this exists
|
||
|
||
Modern IDEs are powerful but heavy.
|
||
Classic macOS editors are fast but stagnant.
|
||
|
||
Neon Vision Editor sits in between:
|
||
- Open files instantly
|
||
- Read code comfortably
|
||
- Edit without friction
|
||
- Close the app without guilt
|
||
|
||
No background indexing. No telemetry. No plugin sprawl.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- Fast loading, including large text files
|
||
- Syntax highlighting for common languages
|
||
(Python, C/C++, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and others)
|
||
- Clean, minimal UI optimized for readability
|
||
- Native macOS 26 (Tahoe) look & behavior
|
||
- Built with Swift and AppKit

|
||
|
||
## Non-goals (by design)
|
||
|
||
- ❌ No plugin system (for now)
|
||
- ❌ No project/workspace management
|
||
- ❌ No code intelligence (LSP, autocomplete, refactors)
|
||
- ❌ No Electron, no cross-platform abstraction layer
|
||
|
||
This is **not** an IDE. That is intentional.
|
||

|
||

||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
- macOS 26 (Tahoe)
|
||
- Xcode compatible with macOS 26 toolchain
|
||
- Apple Silicon recommended
