Fake Notepad++ for Mac

Trademark Violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac 2026-05-01 商标侵权：伪造的 macOS 版 Notepad++ 2026-05-01

Several users have recently reported a website pretending to offer an official macOS version of Notepad++: notepad-plus-plus-mac.org 最近有几位用户举报了一个网站，该网站伪称提供官方的 macOS 版 Notepad++：notepad-plus-plus-mac.org

Let me be blunt: This site has absolutely nothing to do with Notepad++. It’s not authorized, not endorsed, and not affiliated with the project in any way. 我直说了吧：这个网站与 Notepad++ 毫无关系。它未经授权、未获背书，且与本项目没有任何关联。

The owner is using the Notepad++ trademark (the name) without permission; and even goes as far as placing my name and biography on the site to make it look legitimate. This is misleading, inappropriate, and frankly disrespectful to both the project and its users. 该网站所有者在未经许可的情况下使用了 Notepad++ 商标（名称）；甚至还把我的名字和个人简介放在网站上，试图使其看起来合法。这种行为具有误导性、不恰当，坦率地说，这对本项目及其用户都是一种不尊重。

It has already fooled people - including tech media - into believing this is an official release. To be crystal clear: Notepad++ has never released a macOS version. Anyone claiming otherwise is simply riding on the Notepad++ name. 它已经欺骗了一些人——包括科技媒体——让他们相信这是一个官方版本。我必须明确一点：Notepad++ 从未发布过 macOS 版本。任何声称有 macOS 版本的人，都只是在蹭 Notepad++ 的名气。

As mentioned in my GitHub post, I have already contacted the owner of the fake “official” website, and I am still waiting for a reply. 正如我在 GitHub 帖子中所述，我已经联系了该虚假“官方”网站的所有者，目前仍在等待回复。

In the meantime, if you see someone posting “Notepad++ is finally on Mac!” on Reddit, Twitter, Mastodon, Discord, StackOverflow, or any tech blogs/forums, please reply with: “This is not an official Notepad++ release. It’s an unauthorized project misusing the Notepad++ trademark.”, and include a link to this announcement. 在此期间，如果您在 Reddit、Twitter、Mastodon、Discord、StackOverflow 或任何科技博客/论坛上看到有人发布“Notepad++ 终于登陆 Mac 了！”之类的消息，请回复：“这不是官方发布的 Notepad++。这是一个滥用 Notepad++ 商标的未经授权项目。”，并附上本公告的链接。

Thank you to the users who raised the alarm. Your vigilance helps protect the project from people who think they can borrow the Notepad++ identity as they please. – Don Ho 感谢那些发出警报的用户。你们的警惕有助于保护本项目，抵御那些认为可以随意借用 Notepad++ 身份的人。—— Don Ho
