Overview
Build websites faster and better. Compile every language. CodeKit automatically compiles all those awesome languages you read about in tutorials. CodeKit automatically refreshes browsers as you work. Like magic.
All the Cool Kids
Compile Sass, Less, Stylus, CSS, CoffeeScript, Pug, Slim, Haml, TypeScript, javascript, ES6, Markdown, JSON, SVG, PNG, GIF and JPEG right out of the box.
Dead-Simple Configuration
Want compressed CSS? Just check a box. Need to transpile javascript? Check a box. Every tool’s options are available in a beautiful, clean UI. No more hacking build scripts.
Bleeding-Edge Tools
Autoprefixer for vendor prefixes. Babel.js for next-generation javascript. Libsass for faster Sass compiling. The best workflows are built right in.
Add Any Language
Use something that’s not built-in? Easily tell CodeKit how to process files of any type, right in the UI. No stupid config files or plugins required.
Any Device
Mac, iOS, Android, Windows, Tesla, kitchen fridge… if it’s got a modern browser, it refreshes. All major browser vendors are supported, even over SSL.
Browser Sync
Type some text in a form and it magically appears on all your other devices, too. Click a link, it’s clicked on every device. Fast cross-device testing.
Zero Setup
No plugins, no script tags, no work. Just click the Preview button in CodeKit and you’re done. You don’t even need certificates for SSL. Really.
Injection Reloads
CSS changes are injected without reloading the entire page, so you can easily style dialogs and modal content, or just A/B test designs.
Optimize Images
Get 70% smaller PNG and JPEG files in one click. SVGs and GIFs, too. Smaller images mean faster websites.
Minify Scripts & CSS
Combine scripts to reduce HTTP requests. Minify your code to reduce file sizes. All the best practices with full control over the details.
Cache Busting
Automatically cache-bust scripts and stylesheets so your changes take effect immediately when you deploy.
Source Maps
Minify your code, but see the original version in the browser’s inspector. Works automatically with most languages and without headaches.
Bower Power
Bower is built into CodeKit so you can install and update 56,000+ components with ease. jQuery to WordPress and everything in between.
Zurb Foundation
Spin up a Foundation or a Google Web Starter Kit project in seconds. CodeKit downloads the latest version and sets it up for you, automatically.
CSS Frameworks Galore
All the best CSS frameworks are built-in: Bourbon, Neat, Bitters, Susy, Nib, Jeet, and Compass. Just add an @import statement to your stylesheet and CodeKit makes it work.
CodeKit Frameworks
Reuse code in multiple projects but keep a single copy of it on your disk. When you update it, everything recompiles to capture the changes.
Easy Migration
Check one box and existing projects just work. No updating hundreds of output paths, no changing URLs on pages. It’s magic.
Blazing Speed
Your Mac’s processor has lots of cores. CodeKit uses all of them to process files in parallel so that builds finish fast.
Completely Extendable
Do literally anything. Run a custom shell script and see its output in the UI. Or use AppleScript to tell Transmit to upload your site when the build is done.
Simple Configuration
Easily customize your build process. Add steps with one click. Drag them to reorder. Setting this stuff up shouldn’t require trips to Stack Overflow.
ESLint
Scan javascript with the mother of all syntax-checkers. Easily customize hundreds of rules with examples and explanations right in the UI.
JSHint & JSLint
Not ready to move to ESLint? No problem. JSHint and JSLint are built-in, too. See the exact line and column number of every issue.
CoffeeLint
Scan CoffeeScript files for issues, too! Configure options in a slick UI and enforce best practices, just like you do for javascript.
Enforce Coding Styles
Got that one guy who uses tabs instead of spaces? Make him fall in line and easily set up rules to keep the whole team writing clean, readable code.
What’s New in CodeKit 3.6
Massively More Efficient
- CodeKit now uses 72% fewer CPU cycles to do the same amount of work. Better battery life, cooler laptops.
- All processing tasks are also 11% faster, on average.
The Quiet Keyword
- You can now automatically silence warnings for imported JavaScript and CoffeeScript files using a keyword:
- //@codekitprepend quiet ‘jquery.js’;
- (This is the same as unchecking the shield checkbox in the UI.)
Importing Skipped Items
- You can now use @codekitprepend and @codekitappend statements to import any file on disk, even if it’s in a Skipped Folder or outside of your project.
- If a file can’t be found for one of these statements, you’ll get an error in the log. Previously, no error was reported and CodeKit just ignored the special comment.
More Good Stuff
- The progress bar now shows actual progress and is far more accurate during builds.
- Builds can now be canceled.
- Found a couple things in the UI that were not flat. Flattened them with extreme prejudice.
- You can now choose “baseline” or “progressive” output formats for JPEG images.
- Removed silent “Export Data To Russia” feature. Apparently that’s now frowned upon.
Project Icons
- Fact #1: CodeKit has always used “appletouchicon” images as your Project Icon, if the image exists in a standard location when you add the project.
- Fact #2: People put things in weird places.
- Fact #3: CodeKit will now, by god, find your image. 84 levels deep in a folder named “not_NOT_porn”? I got you.
Fixed:
- Optimizing JPEG files could discard their color profiles, causing them to look different.
- Some images could be corrupted during optimization.
- SVGO broke if a certain option was enabled.
- Text in log entries could sometimes display all over the place.
Component Updates:
- Libsass 3.5.2
- Ruby Sass 3.5.6
- MultiMarkdown 6.3.2
- CoffeeScript 2.2.4
- SVGO 1.0.5
- OptiPNG 0.7.7
- Autoprefixer 8.2
- Susy 3.0.3
- TypeScript 2.6.2
- ESLint 4.19.1
- Node 8.11.1
