It’s written in C++ and based on powerful editing component Scintilla. Notepad++ is free and open source, first released in 2003 by Don Ho. It supports several programming languages and features syntax highlighting, syntax folding, PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) search/replace, auto-completion, multi-document editing, WYSIWYG printing, zoom in and zoom out, bookmarks, macro recording and playback, and more. Notepad++ is basically what would happen if you were to inject Notepad with steroids and forced it to work out. Naturally, many Mac users sooner or later look for an alternative, and they often stumble upon Notepad++. But, to be helpful, let me google that for you on iOS and Android.TextEdit is the default text editor in macOS, and it’s just as barebones as the default text editor in Windows, Notepad. To sum up: I am sure there are plaintext editors available for iOS and Android, but Notepad++ is not one of them some in the Notepad++ community may have text editors that they use or recommend for their portable devices, but that’s not actually the focus of this forum, so I don’t know how good of an alternative suggestion you will get. (There is someone who released something they called “Notepad++” to Android, IIRC, but it is unaffiliated with the official Notepad++ discussed here, and has nothing to do with the codebase or this project or forum.) By the time enough of the Notepad++ codebase was re-written to be able to work on those completely different platforms, they would cease to be Notepad++. This API is significantly different than the various GUI toolkits available for Android or iOS. The reason official ports of Notepad++ don’t exist for iOS or Android is because the core of Notepad++ was written using the Win32 API, which is the MS Windows way of handling window management and intra-process and inter-process communication. But there’s not much we as the Notepad++ (user) Community can do about it. As a non-Apple user, I cannot suggest any good ones. It is unfortunate that you cannot find high-powered text editors on Apple Store.
