NOTEPAD ELITE / COMPATIBILITY

Bring the formats. Keep the freedom.

Compatibility means practical native support, with its boundaries stated clearly. It does not mean running Windows code on an Apple device.

Updated 11 November 2026

Native on Apple

Mac Apple Silicon, iPhone and iPad. Native document selection, file permissions, editor views, printing and sharing use the APIs available on each platform. The minimum targets are macOS 14 and iOS/iPadOS 17.

Supported exchange

XML themes and UDL definitions, autocomplete catalogues, project and session formats, encodings and portable macro actions. Imported paths require explicit local folder mapping. Unrecognised actions remain unexecuted. Original and native Unicode macro profiles remain distinct.

Deliberate boundaries

Windows DLL plugins, Win32 interfaces, Windows hosts and DLL-only external lexers are excluded. The full editor is bounded to 32 MiB, code analysis to 4 MiB, and staged paged changes to 32 MiB or 1,024 pages per save. Byte editing preserves undecodable data without substituting text.

This is a compatibility summary, not a claim of complete one-to-one parity. The public download and final release notes will define the released version.
