Code Writer is a text editor type software. But it is more than that. It can easily handle almost 20 kinds of tricky programming languages.

Users often use this software as a replacement for Notepad and other quick editing applications. Its user interface is very fast and contains fluid UI based syntax highlighting. This software also supports running multiple instances side by side based on the user's preferences. The whole interface looks pretty similar to popular Visual Studio Code. It also has distraction free focus editing mode.

However, it only supports the Windows operating system.

A wonderful product for editing your software. It's great that it is a free app and that it can also edit 20 different types of supported file types. It also updates as you go along. I would recommend this software application.

Code Writer is a fun and easy application to use that allows you to write programs in many different syntax. It has a file system explorer on the side to view the files in the project you're currently working on and color codes your keywords to make it easy to distinguish. It loads up quickly and makes sure you can start coding write away, so it's great to pop up and code.
