Code App Documentation

Code App is a MIT-licensed desktop-class code editor for iPadOS with built-in Node.js, Python, C, C++, PHP runtime.
We built it because there is nothing else on the App Store provides all these features in one app:
  • A robust, high-performance text editor (Monaco Editor from Visual Studio Code)
  • First class local file system support
  • Embedded emulated terminal
  • Local backend development environment (Node and PHP)
  • Local Python Runtime
  • Local Clang compiler
  • Git Version Control
  • Package manager support (pip and npm)
  • SSH / FTP remote connection support (Files and terminal)
Good to know: While we want to make the editing experience as close as a desktop offers, Code App is still bounded by iOS's limitations. For example, you cannot download arbitary commands or modules with native components. Spawning subprocesses is also not possible.
