Brackets
Brackets is a desktop code editor for web development, focused on editing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with live preview and inline tools.
What is Brackets?
Brackets is a desktop code editor for building and editing websites and front-end projects on macOS. It is designed for people who work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and want a focused environment for writing, previewing, and refining code. Common workflows include editing page structure, styling interfaces, updating scripts, and inspecting related code without leaving the editor. Brackets is known for developer-friendly tools such as live preview for web pages, inline editing for related CSS, and quick access to project files. The project is associated with CORE.AI SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED as part of the current Brackets stewardship, and it fits best as a developer tool for web coding tasks rather than a general office or note-taking app. Mac users will typically encounter it as a standalone editor used for website creation, learning front-end development, or maintaining small to medium web projects.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Brackets is a code editor, so access to your project folders and files is normal for its purpose. If you use live preview or extensions, the app may open local web content and interact with development files you choose. Keep documents you are actively editing backed up, and only add extensions or project code from sources you trust.
Recommendation: Keep Brackets if you use it for web development or front-end learning on your Mac. If you no longer edit sites or code with it, you can remove the app, but any projects you created or saved separately will remain wherever you stored them.
