Chime is a Developer Tools app for Mac. It needs macOS 14 or later.

About

Chime is an open-source text and code editor designed for macOS. Its website describes a minimalist interface focused on helping users concentrate, alongside modern editor features.

  • Supports the Language Server Protocol (LSP).
  • Extensions can provide deeper project integration, and the website notes that Chime’s extensions are native to macOS.
  • The editor is distributed as the Chime.app application.

To install this alpha cask, run brew install --cask chime@alpha. The cask requires macOS 14 or later. It conflicts with the separate chime cask, so both cannot be installed together.
