Nimble is a lightweight native macOS editor based on everything we love about our favorite editors and IDEs.

Swift support

We really love Swift, that's why we chose it as the first language with rich support in Nimble.

Auto-completion via LSP

Diagnostics via LSP

SPM projects

You can create and work with SPM projects using Nimble.

We are developing Nimble as a tools platform for Scade logo SCADE.
SCADE is a collection of tools, a framework and an SDK which allows you to develop native crossplatform applications for iOS and Android using Swift.

Source code

Nimble is a document-based Cocoa application written in Swift.

Development Environment

macOS 10.15 Catalina or higher
Xcode 12.4 or higher
Swift 5.3.2 or higher

How to Build

Run the following command to resolve dependencies.
- git submodule update --init --recursive
Open Nimble.xcworkspace in Xcode.
Build "Nimble" scheme in the workspace.

Extendable

We designed Nimble to be extendable by plugins. The .xctemplate allows every developer to create their own plugin in several clicks. To help you quickly implement your ideas, we provide an API which was initially designed for our personal use and iteratively improved to its current state. Our plugins, such as ProjectNavigator, CodeEditor, BuildSystem and SwiftExtensions show examples of using this API.
