np is a free and open-source text editor for Microsoft Windows™, released under a BSD software license.

It was written by Florian Balmer using the Scintilla editor component, and it was first publicly released in April 2004.

Balmer based Notepad2 on the principles of Microsoft™ Notepad: small, fast, and usable.
