Edit Without Leaving

Double-click any word to open the editor — cursor lands exactly where you clicked. Write, fix, restructure, then press ⌘S to save or Esc to return to reading. No app switching, no hunting for your place.

Git History & Diff

Browse the full commit history of any file right inside the sidebar. Click a commit to see a color-coded diff with line numbers and context. One click back to Current — everything you need, without opening a terminal.

Always Know Where You Are

A smart table of contents tracks your position as you scroll, highlighting the active section in real time. Click any heading to jump there instantly. The sidebar scrolls itself to keep the current item visible. Works great on long docs, specs, and READMEs.

Multiple Files, One Window

Open as many files as you need without cluttering your desktop. Files from Finder or the terminal appear as tabs — not new windows. Switch between documents the same way you switch browser tabs.
