Everything within reach

Small editor.
Serious capability.

From the first line to the final commit. Apedi combines the simplicity of a text editor with the tools you reach for every day.

01

Projects without the clutter

Keep multiple projects in one sidebar, with colorful file icons, git status colors, automatic reveal of the active tab, and full .gitignore awareness. Right-click any file to copy it or its path.

02

Format with one shortcut

Black, Prettier, gofmt, rustfmt, clang-format, and shfmt are bundled and ready to go. Files no formatter handles get a whitespace cleanup instead.

Ctrl+Shift+I
03

Find it. Open it. Move on.

Quick Open, Go to Symbol across every project, and Replace in Files with a preview of each match - without taking your hands off the keyboard.

04

Your terminal, right by your code

An integrated, multi-tab VTE terminal with bash and zsh. Run Makefile, npm and Composer tasks with one shortcut, without switching windows.
