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.

Support
simed is free and complete. If you want to, you can support development with a
coffee: buymeacoffee.com/phash — it unlocks nothing. The note lives in the
"About simed" screen and nowhere else: no reminders, no dialogs.

Open source
GPL-3.0 — github.com/phash/simed
Issues and pull requests welcome.

What’s new

simed 1.1.1 — clarification

• The support note in "About simed" now says it plainly: voluntary, and it unlocks nothing
• Store description and project documentation brought up to date

Still ad-free, no tracking, no in-app purchases, fully offline.
