TextWrangler is now BBEdit — and still free! It's time to switch.
TextWrangler was an all-purpose text and code editor for macOS, based on the same award-winning technology and user interface as BBEdit, our leading professional HTML and text editor.
If you are an existing TextWrangler customer, it’s time to switch to BBEdit.

Familiar
We promise that you will feel right at home, because BBEdit and TextWrangler are identical in every way that you’re used to. They’re built on the same foundation, by the same developers, with the same care; and they work the same way.
Here’s what TextWrangler looks like:
And here’s what BBEdit looks like:
Sierra Entertainment is a software label which publishes games from indie developers. Founded in 1980 by Ken and Roberta Williams, it developed and published a large variety of video games, including a number of best-selling games and series, for various platforms between 1980 and 2008. Sierra focuses on indie studios and innovative, graphically unique games that include new IP and reimaginings of beloved Sierra classics. Developed by The Odd Gentlemen, the new King’s Quest™ reimagines all the charm, humor, puzzles, exploration and sense of wonder that made the franchise so magical when it first arrived. Instant Download. Best way to run Windows, Linux, or Boot Camp® on Mac without rebooting. Download and install Windows 10 in one click. Try Free for 14 Days.
See the resemblance? (BBEdit looks a lot better on those high-resolution Retina displays, too.)

Free
Like TextWrangler, BBEdit is free to download and use. There’s a set of advanced features that you can pay for — if you want to. But you’re not required to pay anything if TextWrangler has been doing the job for you.
When you start using BBEdit, there’s a 30-day period during which you can use all of BBEdit’s advanced features. When that period ends, BBEdit goes into “Free Mode”, in which it offers all of the features that TextWrangler had — and then some — at no charge.
