| [[Nova]]
| CPT || M || 2023
| Nova is a capable commercial text editor by Panic for MacOS. The editor supports a good set of general text editing features, with additional functionality provided by extensions. A git client, terminal handling, preview, and simple IDE are built in.

| CSP || LMW || 2023
| Fork of [https://atom.io Atom]; based on Electron. Good git client. Lots of plugins covering any editing task. Install plugins "[https://codeberg.org/fiee/language-context language-context]", "language-lua" and "pdf-view" for C and P.

| '''[[Scite|SciTE]]'''
| CT || L(M)W || 2023
| Used to be the "official" ConTeXt editor ([http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/scite-context-readme.pdf more info]). ConTeXt support files come with the ConTeXt distribution in directory <tt>texmf-context/context/data/scite</tt>. SciTE for Mac is commercial (AppStore). (After API changes, the setup doesn’t work any more.)

| CT2 || LMW || 2021
| Uncluttered yet extremely powerful & widely revered text editor. With Package Control, install the vital [https://packagecontrol.io/packages/simple_ConTeXt simple_ConTeXt] package (discontinued, not available anymore as of 2021-11; see [[CudaText]] for its successor).

| Simple TeX IDE for OSX. [[TeXShop]]

| [https://www.texstudio.org/ TeXstudio]
| PST || LMW || 2023
| Extensive LaTeX IDE. Too LaTeX-centered to be really helpful for ConTeXt.
|- style="background:#eeeeee;"
| [[Textadept]]
| CT || LMW || 2023
| ConTeXt support files come with the ConTeXt distribution in directory <tt>texmf-context/context/data/textadept</tt>. (Might not work any more, similar problem as with SciTE.)

| [[TextMate]]
| C || M || 2014?
| The ConTeXt bundle is outdated and not in the distribution, but you can download a copy from [https://github.com/pgundlach/context.tmbundle/ GitHub].

| [http://www.tug.org/texworks/ TeXWorks]
| PST || LMW || 2023
| Probably the most widespread TeX IDE, similar to TeXshop, supported by TUG. ConTeXt support files come with the ConTeXt distribution in directory <tt>texmf-context/context/data/texworks</tt>.
|- style="background:#eeeeee;"
| [[Vim]]
| CT2 || LMW || 2022
| Extremely powerful & highly configurable text editor. It operates in different "modes": you type in text in "insert mode" and pass commands to the editor in "normal mode." Whether you prefer Vim or emacs is a religious question of the highest importance. ConTeXt support is good.

| [[VSCode|Visual Studio Code]] / [https://vscodium.com VSCodium]
| C || WML || 2023
| Universal IDE, based on Electron. Usable Git client, lots of plugins. ConTeXt syntax support in the distribution; language server still in development.
