Built to stay out of your way

//

Syntax Highlighting

Highlighting driven entirely by .kox extension files. No hardcoded languages, add support for anything.

[]

Extension System

Drop a .kox file in your Extensions folder and Kodo picks it up. No restart, no config wizard.

<>

Lightweight

Single .exe, self-contained; no bloat. Runs on any Windows x64 machine.

□

Clean UI

Dark theme, file tree, tab management. Everything you need and nothing you don't.

⌘

Quick Compiler Setup

Point Kodo at your compiler or install a compiler through Kodo and run. Designed to be wired up in minutes, not hours.

Extensions

Highlighting that follows the file

Kodo matches the file extension against your installed .kox extensions at open time. If you save an untitled file to a new path, highlighting kicks in automatically. No manual mode switching.

Browse official extensions
// manifest.json inside a .kox file { "name": "C#", "extensions": [ ".cs", ".csx" ], "version": "1.0.0" }
