Whisk features

Instant preview

Based on the same rendering engine as Safari, Whisk automatically renders HTML and PHP as you type. The speed is impressive. With Whisk, there’s no need to save HTML files and then preview them in a browser. It’s all done on the fly within Whisk’s sleek interface.

Watched Files

The preview will be updated automatically as soon as Whisk identifies any files from the page have been changed — you’ll see the preview reload almost instantly. The app generates a list of resources associated with the page and watches your filesystem to track any changes.

Error highlighting and more

Whisk uses W3C-based validation, highlighting errors with a red underline to ensure the accuracy of your code. Apart from that, you get customizable syntax highlighting, color swatches, reusable code snippets, scroll sync, and many other features to automate your web dev process.

Works on Apple Silicon

Whisk was built as a Universal app so it runs natively on Apple Silicon. Enjoy incredibly fast rendering, no matter which Mac model you have. It’s also fully compatible with macOS Big Sur.
