Question
Seeking a text editor which:
is OS X compatible
has tabbed windows
has the ability to format text (bold, italics, different fonts, sizes, etc)
does not require an account or internet connection to run
There seem to be a world of text editors which offer tabs (macvim, sublime text, bbedit, etc) but most of these are targeted toward programmers and offer no way to visually format the text.
The one app I found that is very close to what I want is Bean, but it is not longer under development, and it doesn't support plaintext.
Basically what I'm looking for is something akin to TextEdit with tabbed windows.
Explanation / Answer
The contradiction is on plain text and text formatting. Plain text is not formatted. You can always learn Markdown and then even use Sublime Text to handle your texts, but I believe you'll be happier with something like VoodooPad perhaps?
100% OS X;
You can have your documents in tabs;
You can create rich text documents, where you're allowed to format your text;
It is native, so no internet connection required.
VoodooPad is really more powerful than that: you can create scripts for it, merge/split documents, many export options (you'll probably enjoy this one), built-in Markdown support (in case you decide to learn the syntax) and encryption.
