About Notepad Next

Edit text and source files with a cross-platform Notepad++ reimplementation, with development limitations stated by its provider. Visit the project website to check the currently available deployment options.

Release status

Publicly usable provider release; the provider warns of incomplete implementations and unsuitability for critical work.

Availability checked 24 Oct 2026. Check the provider’s release or installation information

Installation and setup

Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-24

Choose the appropriate v0.15 stable release package linked by the provider for Windows, Linux or macOS. The README also documents Winget and Flatpak routes.
Install or unpack using that package's instructions and normal platform protections. If a build cannot be verified, stop and seek a supported package rather than bypassing security.
Open a disposable copy of a text file, test editing and search, then save to a separate filename and reopen it.
Keep independent backups and retain your established editor for critical work. The provider explicitly documents bugs and partly implemented features.

Provider-source review only; no candidate code, installer or APK was executed.
