# CodeEditApp/CodeEdit: CodeEdit App for macOS – Elevate your code editing experience. Open source, free forever.

**[Pointer](https://daily.dev/sources/pointer)** · 3 min read · 41 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

CodeEdit is a Mac app that is built on Electron. Electron requires a Chromium instance in order to run. This can mean massive performance losses and high RAM usage even for small apps built on it. To gain maximum adoption, CodeEdit should be open source, free to use and supported by the community.
