CodeKit overview

CodeKit helps you build websites faster and better.

Features:
  • Compile Everything: Process Less, Sass, Stylus, Jade, Haml, Slim, CoffeeScript, Javascript, and Compass files automatically each time you save. Easily set options for each language.
  • Live Browser Reloads: Instantly see changes in your browser, with animation and without hitting the refresh button or installing plugins. Great for tweaking layouts!
  • Combine and Minify: Reduce load times by mashing Javascript and CoffeeScript files together and then minifying with Uglify.js. It's so easy, you'll giggle like a schoolgirl. Seriously.
  • Optimize Images: Losslessly reduce JPEG and PNG file sizes with one click and see the savings. One less thing to do at deployment. (More compression options coming soon!)
  • JSHint and JSLint: Makes debugging scripts fun and easy. Instantly find that one hanging comma that kills IE, or enforce coding styles and best practices across teams.
  • Team Collaboration: Sync project settings across teams and computers in an open JSON format. Keep everyone on the same page or easily jumpstart new sites.
  • Easy Frameworks: Keep just one copy of a file on your drive and easily use it across many projects without worrying about file paths. No more copying files into every new site.
  • It Just Works: There's nothing to install or configure. No mucking around the command line. Just run the app and start working. It's that easy.

What’s new in version 3.26

Updated on Feb 21 2024

Improvements:
  • App go more vroom. CodeKit has always been fast and has always compiled on background threads. This release is even faster because it migrates many tools to Swift Concurrency, which reduces thread-shifting overhead in the macOS kernel.
  • The UI is now more fingerprint resistant.
Deprecations:
  • Libsass: it's going away. It hasn't been updated in years and Dart Sass is the official standard now. The next release will drop Libsass.
  • ESLint Formatting Rules: ESLint deprecated 30+ rules that enforce only style, not code-correctness. These rules will disappear in the future.
  • My Space Gray MacBook Pro From 10 Months Ago: I am embarrassed to be seen with it.
Component Updates:
  • Autoprefixer 10.4.16
  • Babel 7.23.2
  • Browserslist 4.22.1
  • Dart Sass 1.69.5
  • ESLint 8.53.0
  • Node 20.9.0
  • Npm 10.2.3
  • PostCSS 8.4.31
  • Rollup 4.3.0
  • Stylus 0.61.0
  • Terser 5.24.0

Side note: Version 2.9.1 (last of the v2 series) still works on M1 Macs. Just don't use Compass for anything as it is only 32-bit, the *only* 32-bit code in v2. In any case, Compass was EOL as of 2016, and the developer makes it clear to never use it, ever, period. Ignore it inside CodeKit 2.

Codekit is great , however the devs economics is rubbish, buy Codekit new for $39 with 2 years updates, the so called discount for existing users is $40 for two years, 1 Dollar more than the new price is not a discount, apparently that doesn't make it a subscription either ?? Can someone explain please

Absolutely cannot live without it. Forget stupid command line tools like Grunt and Gulp - which take months to learn and hours to setup - just use CodeKit. Get your web development project setup literally in 5 minutes, and all using a beautiful GUI.

Ten billion stars! Version 3 is a huge boost in speed-- time to compile my sass files is nearly instant! This is money well spent.

Wow, one of the best web dev tools on the mac gets even better with version 3. Nice UI redesign and the build process is so streamlined, easy and flexible. Sure, you can do most of it with many other tools and also from the command line but keeping everything in one app with many additional features saves a lot of time and for a professional, time is money.

Great little tool - indispensable in my web dev workflow. Developer is super responsive, conscientious, and thorough - keeping up-to-date with the current web dev trends. Can't wait to see what version 3.0 will include...

I'll say this upfront: although I like the command-line, I do prefer a good GUI. I find it infinitely easier to pre+post process my LESS/Jade/Coffeescript files in CodeKit than having to mess around with Gulp or Grunt. Being able to graphically do all my processing, including concatenation and minification, in a graphical interface is a huge relief, and already worth the money. The fact that you get Bower management thrown in, is just the icing on the cake. And then, you also get a full-blown auto-updating local preview server, automatically setup for you without needing to write a single line of code. All of this without having to litter your system with third-party products or command-line tools and plug-ins. This is an AWESOME piece of software, worth every cent.

you can try this free online service to compress javascript http://www.online-code.net/minify-js.html and minify css http://www.online-code.net/minify-css.html, so it will reduce the size of web page.

I can only seem to get this to work with locally developed sites. Is there a trick to using it with sites hosted online?

I *like* that final fix mentioned for 2.1.7. Was wondering how long it would take for them to get around to taking care of this critical bug! ;-)

How is that app different from LiveReload aside from being 3 times more expensive and having OSX 10.7 requirement?

This app changed my way to build websites - especially web templates. I have heard about SASS, LESS and CoffeeScript before but this app was the reason why I had a closer look at those tools. Now I don't know why I ignored those great tools! I have some minor issues with the app (e.g. changing the output of SASS files won't apply when working on an existing project) but I am sure those small problems are either because I still don't fully understand the app or they will be fixed in a future update. There also is one feature I would like to be added: automatically add the files from the Frameworks to the project folder. I have some scripts working with other files (PHP, images, ...) but I only can include javascript files in my project when adding a framework. If you are new to web development, this app may be not for you, as you will have to know the tools (CSS, HTML, Javascript, SASS, ...) or you should be willing to learn a lot. But if you know to code, this app is very helpful and adds a nice GUI to the included tools.
