The macOS editor for large files that break other editors

Native macOS editor for huge files. A 10 GB log opens instantly — memory-mapped, not loaded. Find 1.6M matches in 1.3s, Replace All in 1.7s, one undo. CSVs get a real grid: 2M rows, typed sorting, fill series. No Electron, no cloud, no telemetry.

Love how fast this opens massive files on my Mac. One thing I'd really appreciate: a regex builder pane on the side so I can test patterns against the file in real time without leaving the editor. Would make debugging log queries so much smoother.
@feride178675 Thanks Feride, glad the speed is landing the way it was designed to.
You can get most of the way there today, the find bar (⌘F) takes full ICU regex and runs it live against the actual file (about 2 seconds over a 10 GB log) and matches highlight with an exact count as you refine. And Filter Lines (⇧⌘L) pins the view to just the matching lines when you want to see hits in context.
A dedicated builder pane is honestly a good fit for how people actually debug log queries. It's on the roadmap with your name next to it. One question back: is the pain mostly writing the pattern, or seeing what the groups captured?
