Lightweight Text Editor

So far this app is doing what I hoped (I’ve been using it only a few times in the one week since I downloaded it.) This app took a plaintext image transcription created by Google Gemini 3 and retained the layout and spacing. Google Gemini creates transcriptions in a Plaintext format that I could not easily figure out how to get MS Word or Google Docs to retain. This gem did the task by default, no special keys or menu gyrations. Simple copy & paste in to Text Editor. This is a very good addition to my toolkit.

I can't stand apple's text editor and have searched the universe for a replacement. So far, this is the best. I want simple. This is simple. I want a reliable save function. Text Editor has it. A bonus I enjoy = the ability to choose fonts. This feature increases the readability of my notes. Thank you developers!

It does simple plain text edits, however it puts them in a folder called “Documents” but has no way to move them to any logical place where you can use them. You can’t move them to a folder in iCloud files or Files on the phone, and in you search for the file name you created with Lightweight Text Editor while in a folder in Files, it won’t find it. I just wanted to crate plain text files to store in Files folders, but this app doesn’t do the single thing required to be useful, it won’t let you put the saved file where you want it.
