There'a great indie app called Notepad.exe [1] for developing iOS and macOS apps using macOS. You can also write and test Swift apps for Linux easily [2]. It also supports Python and JavaScript.

If you hate Xcode, this is definitely worth a look.

It might have a joke name but it costs $80!

		Or pay $19.99 for a year and be able to run it on 3 devices. That's a pretty good deal.

It claims “native performance”, which makes me suspect it’s another Electron bloat.

		Instead of speculating you could download and see for yourself that it’s not. It’s by Marcin Krzyzanowski who is all about native iOS and macOS apps.
