Tincta is an elegant one-window text editor that is intuitive to use on personal tasks like writing blog posts, letters or grocery lists. But it also has all functionality you need for professional web design and programming.

Tincta comes with syntax color profiles for over 60 languages and very fast and reliable coloring algorithms. Because no matter if you do websites or coding, well done syntax coloring is one of the most important features an editor must have.

Tincta's line numbering engine not only is blazingly fast but also manages line wrapping with ease
What's New
Version 1.3.1:
  • Fixed: text view does not scroll correctly horizontally when disabling line wrapping
  • Fixed: crash when opening Tincta with a file
  • Fixed: bracket-marking color is difficult to see
  • Fixed: low contrast of unsaved file icons in the side bar
Requirements
Intel, Mac OS X 10.6 or later

Please don't take this the wrong way, because it's just how i am, but personally i can't even begin to use an application with icons (both the main application icon, and the toolbar etc icons) that IMHO (i.e. a personal preference) look less pretty than what i would expect from a modern OS X application.
I'm sure some of you think the icons look awesome though. :)
Just saying!

Hi,
we hope you like the new icons in 1.3 better and maybe you reconsider trying out Tincta.

Nice app indeed. I use it instead of Fraise which was also good but
quite often would not open a second file, when one is open.
This one opens as many files as you wish. The only thing I would like to have is the possibility to save files in any directory, given in the Preferences. It always suggests to save in Home directory, and I always change it to Desktop. The Preferences do not have this option.

We're happy that you like Tincta.
Actually Tincta should always suggest the last used location to save your file. This location is not saved over restart, though.
If you open a file from your Documents folder Tincta will suggest to save it there. If you save a file to your Desktop it will suggest any new files to be saved to the Desktop, too.
However we will think about adding an option for that or saving the last used location over restarts.

Dear developer, thank you for creating a very nice tool, that I can use to play around with HTML, CSS and another files around website coding. I love the simplicity, all the features are easy to access. Only thing I'd change are the purple icons inside the interface. I'd switch it to something more Mac like - it's 8 icons if I'm not mistaken. The main app icon is awesome though. Otherwise when Lion comes out, it will need some stability improvements (on DP4 it's quite unstable).

Beside the program, I like the icon.
It looks a little like my girl friend.

She would say, oh, I have lot of feet, lets go shopping!

Tincta is finally a useful alternative to Fraise/Smultron. It has about the same feature set. But Tincta is a lot faster, has a line numbering that really works (Smultron always had problems with that) and a more convenient search interface.
And it seems to be in active development - there's even a built-in feedback form.

This little editor is really fast and with 0.98 syntax coloring is great. It does what it should do without being clumsy. For my daily scripting it is near perfect. Nice would be a menu to run your script. But after having the terminal open most of the time it is not a real downpoint. I'm looking forward for the 1.0 version!

Tincta's line numbering engine not only is blazingly fast but also manages line wrapping with ease and calculates every line correctly even for large files.

We know it's the little details that makes you love a text editor. So Tincta supports full drag and drop, indents selected text when you press tab, knows when an open file was changed by another application, features block selection and has an in-window live search with highlighting.

And of course Tincta has all the text editing essentials like:
  • vast encodings support
  • live search and replace with highlighting
  • change case
  • show invisible characters
  • page guide
  • printing
  • spell checker
  • convert line endings
  • convert tabs/spaces
Tincta was written and designed from ground up. We don't use any third party code or technologies (besides Mac OS X) and we keep our codebase small and clean.
