Tom's Editor: A Free Text Editor for Windows

A free, open-source text editor with a minimal interface for distraction-free writing and basic editing features like find/replace, line numbers, and syntax highlighting.

What is Tom's Editor?

Tom's Editor is a free, open-source text editor application for Windows. Developed by Tom Jansen, it has gained popularity for its speed, light footprint, and simplicity.

The application features a clean, clutter-free interface to allow writers to focus on their text without distractions. It lacks some more advanced features found in word processors in favor of providing a lightweight and responsive editing experience.

Tom's Editor supports essential writing-focused functionality like fast typing response, find/replace across multiple documents, line numbers, syntax highlighting for common programming languages, and split-screen editing. Documents can be exported to common formats like PDF and HTML.

While not suited for complex formatting, graphic design, or extensive collaboration features, Tom's Editor excels at enabling distraction-free writing and coding. Its lightweight nature uses up minimal system resources, making it popular on older computers as well.

Tom's Editor is released under an open-source MIT License, allowing anyone to freely use, modify, or distribute the software free of charge.
