Caxton FAQ

What is Caxton?

Caxton is a native macOS text editor built for files that break everything else, multi-gigabyte logs, CSVs past Excel's row limit, SQL dumps, minified single-line files. It memory-maps files instead of loading them, so a 10GB / 80M-line log opens immediately, a full-file search returns 1.6M matches in 1.3s, and memory stays under 200MB the whole time.

Is Caxton free?

Caxton is freemium.

Do I need to download Caxton?

No. Caxton runs in your browser at caxton.app, so there's nothing to install.

What are the best Caxton alternatives?
