Features

For Google Drive™

Free Text Editor is purpose-built to sit directly inside your daily workflow, connecting effortlessly with Google Drive™. It has a modern and intuitive user interface with the features that you expect.

100% Free

No cost, no ads, no freemium upsells, no games! We only ask that you take a look at our other apps and see if they might work for you, too.

50+ text formats

Whether you need to edit a plain text file, or a docker file, Free Text Editor has you covered. All the common MIME types and extensions are registered with Google Drive™ to make it easy to create and edit your files.

Same Editor as Visual Studio Code

Developers, if you love VS Code then you’ll love Free Text Editor, too. The editing experience is built on top of Microsoft’s Monaco Editor.

Conflict Detection and Merging

Worried that someone will make a change to a document while you are editing it? Free Text Editor automatically detects this scenario and helps you merge changes using the Monaco Diff Editor.

Passphrase Encryption

Want to secure your content beyond just Google Drive™ sharing? Any text file can be encrypted using a passphrase. The file content will be processed with OpenPGP and stored as printable ASCII characters using Radix-64 PGP ASCII Armor encoding. Simply re-enter the passphrase to access and edit the content.

Strict Privacy Standards

Our applications never use tracking cookies, serve third-party ads, or monitor your behavior across the web. We believe your digital workspace should be private and secure. See the privacy policy for more details.
