PeepOpen Application
Preview
NOTE: This is beta software and doesn’t support some features like TextMate project files. We plan to support them in the future, but for now it works only with self-contained directories on disk.
Text editor development has been stagnant for several years. It’s time for developers to take the text editing experience forward into 2010!
PeepOpen is a file navigation application that works with TextMate, Coda, MacVim, and Emacs (Mac OS X Snow Leopard on 64-bit Intel required, support for other editors is coming soon). Search on both paths and filenames, and easily open the file in your text editor with a single keypress. Useful metadata helps you quickly choose the file you’re looking for.
PeepOpen is a menu bar app and won’t clog your dock or application switcher.
Our article on the PeepCode Blog was an instant hit, and now you can use the application we’ve built to fulfill that vision.
This beta release is primarily for the ambitious. That said, we’ve been using it daily for several months and people who use it have been thrilled with it. There’s currently no trial version.
PeepCode Unlimited subscribers can download a copy as part of their yearly subscription (or use your PeepCode credits or $9).
Features
Do your text editor’s navigation facilities do this?
- Easy installation with a single application and one-button editor plugin.
- Fuzzy search including relative path within project and filename.
- Smart sorting algorithm puts the most likely file at the top based on modification time and the best metrics from two fuzzy match algorithms.
- Useful metadata such as a Git diff summary helps you quickly find the file you’re looking for.
- Customization via graphical preferences, as you expect from a quality Mac OS X application!
- Compatible with major graphical and terminal text editors: TextMate, MacVim, Carbon Emacs (others coming soon).
- Automatic updates with Sparkle.
- Source code included for your personal hacking pleasure (Objective-C & MacRuby).
Grab a copy today with your PeepCode Unlimited subscription, credits, or only $9.

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media

“Mercurial is just what I was looking for. Happy to pay to support people making such high-quality and informative screencasts.” Jason Kottke
“Absolutely fantastic - I haven't seen a PeepCode screencast before and I'm super impressed with the level of graphics/audio...I just finished it and it really is a great intro. Well done.” David Kaneda, author of jQTouch
“These things are fantastic and the price is a steal. I strongly urge you to support this effort and buy the episodes. What a terrific way to learn!” Scott Barron, Rails Core Committer
