Customization: AMOLED theme for night use, multiple theme options, and customizable keybindings.
Developer Tools: Built-in terminal with Alpine Linux support, ability to run Python and Node.js, and interoperability with Termux.
Additional Features: Word wrap, print text documents, Markdown support with preview functionality, and a plugin system.

Community and Development: The project is open-source and encourages community contributions. Users can report issues or suggest features through the GitHub repository. Xed Editor is continuously updated to improve functionality and user experience, making it a strong alternative to other Android text editors.

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Download Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
