After more than 20 years of existence, Notepad++ has received its
first full port outside Windows and is now available for macOS.

Notepad++ is a lightweight and minimalist, yet fairly advanced, text
editor. It supports many file formats and provides syntax highlighting
for various programming and markup languages.

It now runs fully on Mac computers, but only on devices with M1 chips
or newer. Users no longer need to launch the app through workarounds
such as Wine or CrossOver.

The program's interface has been rewritten using native macOS
components. Its windows, dialogs, and keyboard shortcuts now fully
follow the system's standards.

At the same time, the editor's core and the Scintilla engine remain
unchanged. Users still have access to familiar tabs, macros, and
plugin support.

The project remains completely free and open source. The editor has no
ads, paid subscriptions, or hidden fees.

"To be crystal clear:
Notepad++ has never released a macOS version.
Anyone claiming otherwise is simply riding on the Notepad++ name." <https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/npp-trademark-infringement/>

"The trademark infringement issue has now been resolved. The author of
the website and project in question has removed all uses of the
Notepad++ trademark from his product, website, and related materials.
The unauthorized references have been taken down, and the trademark infringement is no longer ongoing." <https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/clarify-npp-trademark-infringement/>

It's now called Nextpad++: <https://nextpad.org/>
