Built for real file work
Fast enough for a note. Capable enough for a project.
TextForge keeps common editing operations close without turning the document into a dashboard. Files stay under your control, and the interface remains predictable across long sessions.
Editing toolkit
The tools expected from a serious text editor.
Search beyond one document
Find, replace, regular expressions, match counts, and find or replace across folders.
Keep file intent intact
Control encoding, line endings, indentation, syntax highlighting, folding, and Resource Script files.
Move through repetitive edits
Bookmarks, line transforms, macros, duplicate removal, sorting, and a focused command palette.
The workspace
Documents stay central.
Sidebars open only when needed. Tabs, code, files, and status remain readable at a glance.
Search and transform
One pass through a file or an entire folder.
Count matches, use regular expressions, replace safely, filter file types, and run transforms without leaving the editing workspace.
Simple access
Try every editing tool for three days.
The trial never renews or charges automatically. Full Unlock is a separate $4.99 one-time purchase. Opening and reading files remain available after the trial.
