Neon Vision Editor
Neon Vision Editor is a native Apple text, Markdown, and code editor for focused writing, editing, and project-based file work on Mac.
What is Neon Vision Editor?
Neon Vision Editor is a native desktop editor for text, Markdown, and source code on macOS, with companion versions for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. It helps users write notes, edit plain-text documents, work with Markdown files, and manage lightweight coding projects without moving to a full IDE. Common workflows include drafting documents, browsing project folders, editing code with syntax highlighting, previewing Markdown, and searching across files. The app is designed for people who want a focused editor for everyday development and writing tasks, especially when a simpler native Mac tool fits better than a heavier programming environment. Neon Vision Editor is published by Hilthart Pedersen and is oriented toward local editing and project-based work on Apple platforms.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a normal document and code editor, so its file access is tied to the folders and files you choose to open or grant through macOS. That access is expected for editing, search, and project browsing. If you use any connected AI or online features, review what content you send before sharing sensitive material from documents or code. Removing the app will stop access to its editing features, and any app-specific settings or local working data may also be removed.
Recommendation: Keep Neon Vision Editor if you use it for writing, Markdown, or code editing on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing it is usually fine, but export or save any important local work and settings first if you rely on the app for active projects.
