TextMate HTML Editor

TextMate for Mac brings Apple’s approach to operating systems into the world of text editors. By bridging UNIX underpinnings and GUI, TextMate cherry-picks the best of both worlds to the benefit of expert scripters and novice users alike.

Whether you are a programmer or a designer, the production of code and markup is hard work. Without an editor dedicated to the task, it is also often cumbersome, overwhelming, and repetitive. Especially when you are dealing with a lot of files at once — like most projects do. The tool puts you back in control, reduces the mental overhead, and turns manual work into something the computer does.

Created by a closet UNIX geek who was lured to the Mac platform by its ease of use and elegance, TextMate for macOS has been referred to as the culmination of Emacs and macOS and has resulted in countless requests for both a Windows and Linux port, but the app remains exclusive for the Mac, and that is how we like it!

Text Mate for Mac is not an IDE but by using its powerful snippets, macros, and unique scoping system, it can often provide features that even a language specific IDE lacks. It has enough project management features to keep most users happy but is otherwise kept lightweight with a clean and minimalistic GUI.
