Neon Vision Editor overview

Neon Vision Editor is a native Apple editor for code, text, and Markdown on macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. It combines fast file access, syntax highlighting, tabbed editing, project navigation, previews, and optional AI assistance in a focused workspace.

Documents stored in iCloud Drive, network folders, or edited by another app can refresh while they are open. Clean tabs update automatically, while unsaved local changes remain protected through reviewable Keep Local, Reload, and Compare actions.

Features
  • Syntax highlighting for Swift, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JSON, Markdown, TeX/LaTeX, and many other languages and formats.
  • Tabbed editing with per-file language selection, session recovery, multiple windows, Vim-style editing, and large-file handling.
  • External file synchronization for documents changed on another device or by another application.
  • GitHub Flavored Markdown, HTML, and SVG previews with syntax-colored code blocks, multiple reader templates, synchronized editor-preview scrolling, and PDF export.
  • Markdown project preview with searchable cards, file paths, excerpts, headings, file sizes, image thumbnails, grid or list layouts, and indexing status.
  • Optional AI assistant with contextual questions about the current file, selections, project structure, Markdown, README files, requirements files, and code in multiple programming languages.
  • Optional Apple Intelligence or user-configured AI providers with saved chat sessions, cancellation, timeouts, and reviewable Markdown conversion.
  • Project sidebar with Files, Search, Git, and PTY-backed Terminal workflows on macOS.
  • Regex Find and Replace, Replace All, Find in Files, Quick Open, table of contents, code minimap, and project tree navigation.
  • Contextual Markdown formatting for headings, lists, links, quotes, code, images, tables, and document structure.
  • Code snapshots, starter templates, native SwiftUI and AppKit/UIKit interfaces, and no telemetry.

What's new in version 1.2.2

Why Upgrade
  • Adds platform-optimized toolbar presets with compact symbols and consistent controls across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS.
  • Makes toolbar and project workflows easier to configure from settings, including standard, focused, developer, review, and complete presets.
  • Restores the transparent iOS status-bar composition while preserving the existing editor and preview layout.
Highlights
  • Adds compact preset labels on macOS and iPadOS while keeping iPhone toolbar space icon-first.
  • Adds clearer toolbar customization and project-sidebar actions for everyday editing workflows.
Fixes
  • Removes the verbose "Toolbar Preset" label from the compact toolbar surface without removing its accessibility label or help text.
  • Repairs the iOS status-bar/navigation-surface regression introduced after v1.1.1.

Nope. Non-stop pinwheeling after opening the sidebar. The app appeared to be opening a large number of files and all I did was tell it to show the sidebar. 300+ MB+ memory use in Activity monitor. Also, no Ada syntax highlighting. Come on, folks, Ada is a top-20 language.
