Kod (which means "code", including the source code, in Swedish) is a text editor for Mac OS X. Written by Rasmus Andersson, a Facebook designer,[3] Kod is designed to be fitted specifically to Mac OS X's architecture.[4]
Often likened to a less feature-rich version of TextMate,[5] Kod is unique among OS X-only text editors in its use of tabs ported from Chromium which can be torn off into new windows.[6]
Kod supports syntax highlighting for more than 65 programming languages.[2] It is also notable for its integrated scripting environment based on Node.js, as well as the ability to theme the application through CSS3.[4]
Kod is free, but is released under a modified MIT License which adds the following clause:[7]
The Software and/or source code cannot be copied in whole and sold without meaningful modification for a profit.
In 2012, the project's founder declared he no longer used or was working on Kod, and recommended Sublime Text 2 as an alternative.[1]
