Beauty begins with type.
A calm, blazing-fast text editor for Mac — where your words and their whitespace come first, and nothing else gets in the way.
Free download · Requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later
Effortless, even at 100,000 lines.
By drawing only what's on screen, CLYR Type stays responsive with logs, data dumps, and book-length manuscripts alike.
Type you'll want to read.
Tune the font, size, line height, and letter spacing to your own reading comfort. Thoughtful defaults make long passages a pleasure — right out of the box.
Eight looks. One that's yours.
Appearance mode, editor colors, and glass — bundled into one-tap presets. From sepia Paper to deep-blue Midnight.
Melts into your desktop.
Built on macOS 26's native Liquid Glass, the editor can softly pick up the colors behind your window while your text stays perfectly crisp. Dial the translucency to taste.
Write into the light.
The desktop glows through, gently — never in the way of a single word.
A proper text editor.
Find & replace with regex
Case sensitivity, regular expressions, and a live match count — with fast, viewport-only highlighting.
Broad encoding support
UTF-8, Shift-JIS, EUC-JP, ISO-2022-JP, UTF-16/32, GB18030, Big5 and more — plus LF / CR / CRLF and the UTF-8 BOM.
Line numbers & current line
A refined gutter, current-line highlight, and live character and selection counts — each optional.
Print, auto-save, read-only
Header/footer printing, auto save, an open-as-read-only mode, and trim-trailing-whitespace on save.
Native IME & accessibility
Built on TextKit 2, so Japanese input, wrapping, and accessibility all work with system-standard quality.
Light at 100,000 lines
The same performance whether you're jotting a note or opening a 100 MB file. It's free for everyone.
Make writing more beautiful.
