About
Caxton is an AppKit editor for the files other editors refuse: production logs, database exports, two-million-row CSVs. It memory-maps and indexes the file rather than loading it, so a ten gigabyte text file opens at once and edits without stalling, out of a five megabyte download with no Electron anywhere in it. Files stay on the Mac, with no upload and no telemetry.
