For many years Vim is a fast, small, programmable text editor for the terminal. DinVim brings the experience of Vim to Mac OS. It is an editor fully compatible with Vim, but packaged as a native app with support for expected integration like mouse-wheel scrolling or keyboard shortcuts.

DinVim is a secure text editor utilizing the Mac OS application "sandbox" technology. No matter what plugins you install, it is protected and has limited access to the system. Only intended actions take place, only requested files will be accessed. This is contrasted with the builtin Vim on Mac which has full access to everything.

The NeoVim engine is a modernized version of Vim. It is an evolution built for extension and customization for plugins and apps like DinVim. The NeoVim is a base that has all the editor features while the DinVim provides the required chrome on top to enrich Vim with Mac OS native app feeling.
