TextWrangler is a free text editor for Mac OS X, the free little brother to the much more expensive (and, it must be said, much more feature-filled) BBEdit.It's a great text editor in its own right, however, and in particular it's good to install if your needs aren't great or if you want to test it out before graduating to BBEdit.
TextWrangler is now BBEdit — and still free! It's time to switch.
TextWrangler integrates with Xcode as an external editor and supports AppleScript. It includes a Shebang! Menu which provides direct access to UNIX scripting environments. Files made with TextWrangler can be saved in the end file formats for Mac, Unix, DOS and Unicode. TextWrangler is handy for a range of uses: HTML coding, AppleScript and any scenario where plain text is required. Now that Apple's own tools have become more complex, TextWrangler steps in to provide a worthy alternative. Users can run TextWrangler in full screen mode, slashing distractions and making coding simple. TextWrangler is a powerful and richly-featured tool for composing, modifying, and transforming text stored in plain-text files. TextWrangler is a general purpose text editor. Programmer's text editor.
TextWrangler was an all-purpose text and code editor for macOS, based on the same award-winning technology and user interface as BBEdit, our leading professional HTML and text editor.
If you are an existing TextWrangler customer, it’s time to switch to BBEdit.

Free
Like TextWrangler, BBEdit is free to download and use. There’s a set of advanced features that you can pay for — if you want to. But you’re not required to pay anything if TextWrangler has been doing the job for you.
When you start using BBEdit, there’s a 30-day period during which you can use all of BBEdit’s advanced features. When that period ends, BBEdit goes into “Free Mode”, in which it offers all of the features that TextWrangler had — and then some — at no charge.
