Can it open files that look garbled on a Mac, such as EUC-KR or Shift_JIS?

JUNQ Edit detects encodings such as EUC-KR, Shift_JIS, GBK, Big5, UTF-8 and UTF-16 automatically and opens the file in the detected encoding. You can change or convert the encoding from the status bar.

Does it run natively on Apple Silicon?

Yes. It runs natively on Apple Silicon without Rosetta and requires macOS 12 or later.

Is there a Windows version?

Yes. An installer is available for Windows. One license works on one device, and you can move it to another device by removing the registration in the app settings.

Can I edit files directly on a server?

Yes. Connect over SFTP (password or private key), FTP or FTPS and edit remote files like local ones. Connections can be saved as sessions.

Is there a free trial?

You can start a free trial in the app without registering a card. The trial lasts 7 days and is available once per device.

Is my text sent to an AI service?

Only when you run a feature that uses Claude. Those features send the selected text or the start of the document to Anthropic, and the app first warns you about values such as phone and card numbers. AI Writing with Apple Intelligence on a Mac stays on the device.

AI tools

Describe what you need in a sentence. JUNQ Edit tidies up text and builds the rules and regular expressions that change your documents.

AI Writing: Summarize, polish or translate the selected text, or change it as you ask. On a Mac, choose between Apple Intelligence on the device (macOS 26 or later) and Claude.
Edit by Sentence: Describe the change in a sentence. The AI builds editing rules and the app applies them to the whole document. Preview the result first, and undo it after applying.
Regex helper: Describe what to find in a sentence to get a regular expression, then test it on sample text.

Features that use Claude send the selected text or the start of the document to Anthropic. Before sending, the app finds values such as phone numbers, card numbers and passwords, and lets you mask them.
