Edit scripts and config files without friction

Not every code edit needs a full IDE. Clarity Edit's Code Mode is built for the smaller jobs — tweaking a config file, reviewing a script, or writing a quick utility — with fast startup and no project indexing to wait through.

Language support

  • JavaScript — scripts, snippets, and config files like .json and .js.
  • Python — quick scripts and utility files.
  • Swift — review or edit Swift source without opening Xcode.
  • SQL — write and review queries.
  • Additional languages, with extended support available in Clarity Edit Pro.

Same workspace as your notes and Markdown

Code Mode lives in the same tabbed workspace as Clarity Edit's notes and Markdown editor, so a config file and the notes about it can sit in adjacent tabs — no app-switching required.

Who it's for

Developers who want a fast, local scratch editor for scripts and config files alongside their main IDE, and anyone who occasionally needs to read or tweak code without the overhead of a full development environment.
