Good { morning, afternoon, evening },

We're pleased to announce that beginning with version 12.6.3,
BBEdit is (again) available in the Mac App Store.

The full text of the news release is here: <https://www.barebones.com/company/press/bbedit_back_to_mas_pr.html>.

We have written a FAQ for existing customers (and previous Mac
App Store customers): <https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/appstore/faq.html>.

And here's a direct link to BBEdit on the store: <https://barebones.com/products/bbedit/appstore/>.

Enjoy,

R.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

My ownership of BBEdit pre-dates the App Store.ย 
Will I be permitted to leave it that way ?

Absolutely; per the FAQ:

<https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/appstore/faq.html#directsubs>

========
Will I need, or can I get a subscription if Iโ€™m not using the
Mac App Store?

Subscriptions will only be available from the Mac App Store. We
have no intention of introducing or requiring subscriptions for
customers who purchase a BBEdit license directly from us.

This is great news, and I am pleased to see (though it is irrelevant to me personally) that there is a monthly subscription available as well as a discounted yearly sub.

I hope this translates into a lot more people using BBEdit and some of them paying for it.

That is impressive. Good job Barebones and Apple.
