simed — Code & Text Editor

Manuel Rödig

About this app

simed is a small, focused text, code and Markdown editor for Android.
One thing done well: open a file, edit it, save it.

Editor with syntax highlighting
• Markdown, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, JSON, YAML, XML
• Bring-your-own TextMate grammars and themes via the on-device plugin folder

Live preview
• Markdown natively
• HTML in a sandboxed WebView, no network access

Use
• Open, edit and save files via the Storage Access Framework
• "Open with simed" from any file manager
• Find and replace
• Hardware keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+S (save), Ctrl+O (open), Ctrl+F (find)
• Recent files (max. 10), persistent SAF permissions
• Light and dark theme — system, light or dark
• Configurable font size, soft wrap, tab width
• Atomic save for SAF tree URIs — a crash mid-write does not destroy a file

What's deliberately missing
• No tabs, no terminal, no Git, no cloud sync
• No accounts, no login, no account recovery
• No in-app browser, no plugin store, no auto-updates from within the app
• No telemetry, no ads, no in-app purchases, no third-party SDKs

Privacy
simed collects nothing, sends nothing, stores nothing on servers. The app
runs fully offline. Files stay on your device.
