Loper
The easiest code editor on the market. Have fun.
A free, minimal, color-coded editor for the files developers open all day: .env, Markdown, JSON, YAML, TOML, code and more. A gift from Nomad Code Labs.
How Loper works
See what is what at a glance.
Open a .env, Markdown, JSON or YAML file and Loper colors every key, value, number, secret and variable, and lists them in an outline tree on the left. Double-click a file, fix it, save. Loper is free, and it updates itself.

Overview
Loper is a tiny desktop editor for quick and easy editing and viewing. It opens .env, Markdown, JSON, YAML, TOML, shell scripts, TypeScript, Python, Rust and more, and colors every key, value, number and variable so you see what is what at a glance.
An outline tree lists headings, links and images in Markdown and keys in config files; a live preview renders Markdown, HTML and SVG next to the editor. Loper updates itself, and it is free. If you like it, you can buy us a coffee.
