BBEdit is a text editor originally developed for Macintosh System Software 6 and now for Mac OS X. It is made by Bare Bones Software. BBEdit is not a word processor, meaning it does not have text formatting or page layout features. BBEdit's audience includes programmers and web designers.

Bare Bones Software also made a free and less-featured version of BBEdit called BBEdit Lite. Bare Bones Software discontinued BBEdit Lite at version 6.1 and replaced it with TextWrangler, which initially cost money (though significantly less than BBEdit), but several years later was released for free.

BBEdit supports syntax highlighting for a wide variety of popular computer languages. It also contains powerful multi-file text searching capabilities including strong support for Perl-compatible regular expressions. BBEdit allows the easy previewing and debugging of HTML and Perl and provides built-in prototypes for most HTML constructs. It also includes FTP and SFTP tools and integrates with code management systems. BBEdit shows differences between file versions and allows for the merging of changes.

Some applications and integrated development environments (IDEs) provide direct support for using BBEdit as a third-party source code editor.

  • BBEdit's tagline, a registered trademark, is "It doesn't suck."
  • The first version of the application was said to have been created as a "proof of concept" for a "bare bones" text editor to replace the text editor included with Macs at the time, TeachText, which could not read files larger than 32K. BBEdit now has many advanced features.
