Notepad++ for Mac is a free, open-source, native macOS code editor. Universal Binary for Apple Silicon (M1–M5) and Intel Macs. No Wine, no Rosetta, no emulation.
Seems suspiciously AI-sloppy and not very trustworthy. Github shows very little activity outside of the main author, and the name feels somehow misleading because it should be clearer that this isn’t an official port but rather an independent project.
This Mac version is an independent community port
It’s, like, one guy though. The author page seems to also walk the line stopping just short of misrepresenting the actual author’s endorsement of the project. This seems dishonest and like the website has been barely reviewed by humans. Frankly, I hate it because it doesn’t respect my time. If you can’t be bothered to write actual human-generated words about your own project, what else has been neglected?
Use at your own risk as it’s not likely the code has been reviewed or tested by anyone else. For something so commonly a target of malware authors as Notepad++, it’s a hard pass. Too risky for me.

If folks want a macOS native text/code editor, I’m a big fan of CotEditor.
thanks for the heads-up.
