About Geany
Geany combines a lightweight editor with common development conveniences such as symbol navigation and build commands. It is useful when a full-size IDE would be more than a project needs.
The project offers macOS disk images alongside other platform builds. Language support and plugins cover a broad range of programming tasks.
