We've released a new free software for Windows:

APIVoid Notepad is a fast, tabbed text editor and syntax highlighter for Windows. It includes built-in CSV tools, URL/IP/hash extraction, line operations, file hashing, and a variety of utilities for developers and analysts to increase productivity and perform specialized tasks directly within the editor. It can efficiently open and edit large text files exceeding 1 GB in size and supports syntax highlighting for more than 40 languages, including Python, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Rust, as well as configuration files such as .env (dotenv), Dockerfile, and HCL (Terraform). Additionally, it supports both light and dark themes, with an optional zebra-style line background for improved readability.

You can read more details and the full features on the product page:

Here is a screenshot of the main program window with some options in the context menu:

Nice (y) always room for a secure notepad/text editor.
yes, I looked at it too and it looks nice, but I sorted missed the part about it being "secure" / note saying it isn't secure, but is it more "secure" than notepad++ / how why, just curious since secure did not jump out at me.

We've removed the "Register Extensions" button, now it is done automatically when you enable the "Register..." option (less steps to do).

To revert back to the original Windows default apps, just uncheck the "Register..." option.

The application will automatically revert to the original Windows default apps when it is uninstalled.
