Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native macOS IDE for building, running, debugging, and publishing Sinclair BASIC and Z80 projects for 48K and 128K ZX Spectrum machines.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-08 issue.

Field notes

The advertised workflow moves from Sinclair BASIC or Z80 source through a typed project graph, target-specific execution, debugging, tests, and TAP or WAV output. The environment also keeps Spectrum-native material in the project: SCREEN$ graphics, attributes, UDGs, drawing code, and four-note music patterns with pitch, timing, and duration. The page separates 48K and 128K machine profiles and lists macOS 13+ compatibility, while marking the release status as pending.
