TextEdit
Apple's simple editor
TextEdit is Apple's basic text editor bundled with macOS, capable of handling both plain text and rich text formats.
It serves as a simple word processor for quick notes and basic document editing: I just opened it in TextEdit to make a few changes.
The name follows Apple's convention of compound software names like QuickTime and GarageBand.
