dedtxt

A dead simple plain-text editor. A bit like TextEdit or Notepad but even simpler and with fewer features. No hidden text. No formatting. No settings. One textarea and the current file. Raw bytes in, raw bytes out, UTF-8 by default, no line-ending weirdness. Install easily as a web app.

What is dedtxt?

A bit like TextEdit or Notepad, but even simpler and with fewer features. No hidden text. No formatting. No settings. A textarea and a file. Raw bytes in, raw bytes out, UTF-8 by default, no BOM, no line-ending munging. If we die with unsaved text, may the next visit offer to restore.

Two targets, same code:

  • Web at https://dedtxt.app/ — the editor itself, installable as a PWA from any modern browser (including iOS and Android via "Add to Home Screen"). This is the shipping target.
  • Desktop — macOS / Windows / Linux native via Tauri 2. Native installer are a later release if there is interest; the code, Rust tests, and CI are kept current so they may be revived (see FUTURE.md and CHANGELOG.md).
