      The only one that comes close to Notepad++ is CODA. https://panic.com/coda/

      It is the only one that has built in FTP and seamless like Notepad++. It is not as good as Notepad++ nor is ANY mac OS X software I’ve tested, but it is close.

            Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

            It’s free and open source, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu & Red Hat/Fedora). And it is extensible with plug-ins for many languages.

                  i know that I’m late but i think the built-in program text edit is the same. been using it for a while and it works.

                            I recently discovered ‘Brackets’ by Adobe; it’s excellent. It’s not on the AppStore, but if you google it, you’ll find it easily. Completely free, and hundreds of optional extensions for themes, fonts etc to add on. I highly recommend it.

                                            Hello,
                                            I am actually working on porting Notepad++ to macOS. If you have any coding experience with Objective-C or Swift, it would be appreciated if you could help me.
