Now, whenever you have a document like this, you can choose File > Save as Note.

Needless to say, people at Bare Bones Software do this too, so with the just-released BBEdit 14, they decided to turn the habit into a feature: Notes. I am far from alone in this habit-Josh Centers said that he currently has 27 untitled documents open in BBEdit, and that’s after he went through and closed a bunch that he no longer needed. But it’s so infrequent that I don’t even consider saving such documents because I don’t want the extra cognitive load of figuring out where to store them and then having to delete them later.

(Look in BBEdit > Preferences > Application for the relevant settings to make this happen.) Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and I have lost a few untitled documents once or twice over the years in particularly egregious Mac crashes. It automatically saves changes in the background, opens the documents again if you quit and relaunch, and maintains state even if the Mac crashes.
The reason I do this is that BBEdit is really good at preserving unsaved work. I often have many more untitled documents-race results I’m reformatting, CSV files I’m working on, and little things I want to remember briefly. I’ll write the article or post the text, after which I’ll close the associated document without saving. I haven’t bothered saving them because I don’t anticipate needing them permanently. They are hastily typed notes from press briefings and bits of text I might post to a Discourse topic. Take a look at my BBEdit 13.5.7 window below, the five “untitled text #” documents in particular. #1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down.#1662: New Macs, 12 top OS features for 2023, vertical tabs in Web browsers, watchOS 9.5.1.#1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts down.
