Notepad++

Notepad++ is a popular, free, open source text editor for Microsoft Windows. We chose to design Docsfox for use with Notepad++ for these reasons:

  • Security - To use Docsfox, you do not need to install Python on your computer, increasing its vulnerability.

  • Simplicity - Notepad++ allows you to easily use templates along side any word processor on your PC or on the web.

  • Trust - Notepad++ is widely used and trusted. Its open source code is available for inspection.
