With version 5 of CotEditor, you can now fuel the brilliance behind this app by becoming a coffee sponsor! We all know coffee isn't just a beverage—it's the magical elixir that keeps the developer's code flowing smoothly, and solves every problem. To donate and keep the caffeine levels high, download the MAS (Mac App Store) edition of the app. Because behind every great app is an even greater cup of coffee!

CotEditor is one of the top apps that I constantly use in my daily work. Despite being "just" and editor it is an impressive feat of engineering. I am surprised that the developer is not even trying to get paid for his excellent work on this app, and I don't even see a donation button anywhere. I would have gladly paid the developer to encourage the work. Whenever possible, please consider download this app via MAS, which is also free, and writing a 5-star review.
