Text Edit Pro is a very simple text editor.

I needed a way to copy and save text to my mobile device (phone), and it usually takes a few extra steps (open the notes app, export as txt, go to file manager, rename the file to html, etc.)

So I came up with the Text Edit Pro.

It's not a fancy editor, but it's quite practical.

3. Change functionality in the <script> section
4. Update the manifest in the JSON section

❓ FAQ

Q: Where are my saved files stored?

A: Files are saved to your device's Downloads folder. The exact location depends on your browser settings.

Q: Can I edit files from Google Drive or iCloud?

A: Yes! Open the file from your cloud storage, edit it, then save it back. The file will download to your Downloads folder.

Q: Does it work completely offline?

A: Yes! Once loaded, the app works 100% offline. You can even install it as a PWA for permanent offline access.

Q: What's the file size limit?

A: There's no hard limit, but very large files (10+ MB) might slow down the editor. It's best for typical text files.

Q: Can I use it on desktop?

A: Absolutely! It works on desktop browsers too, with full keyboard shortcut support.

Q: How do I transfer files between devices?

A: Since files save locally, you'll need to manually transfer them (email, cloud storage, USB) between devices.
