If so, here's a handy guide. It's super dead simple.

Go install atom if you haven't now. This should also work for sublime, or even VIM.

Add OF to your system's path. To do this you need to find a hidden file. Open up terminal and use this unix command to do it. Steps 3-5 will walk you through it.

Open terminal and simply cd and press enter

type open .bash_profile (or open this file in your editor of choice. If you have atom installed you can use atom .bash_profile)
add this line at the bottom of the file, then save and quit your text editor export OF_ROOT=~/Documents/of_v0.9.8_osx_release

Now generate your OF project using the project generator. Go to atom or sublime and edit away. When you're done, you'll pop make to the command line. Just cd into your main project directory. 
Now type make 

cd ~/Documents/OpenFrameworks/of_v0.9.8_osx_release/apps/myApps/test_cmake
make

this creates a folder called obj/ which contains all the compiler build files.

Read how to launch your app from here - it's dead simple and make will explain it when it's done building for you. Just read what it prints out about it in terminal.
