Code App Documentation

Code App is a MIT-licensed desktop-class code editor for iPadOS with built-in Node.js, Python, C, C++, PHP and Java 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

  • Extensive local language support

  • SSH / FTP remote connection support (Files and terminal)

  • Embedded emulated terminal

  • Git Version Control

  • Package manager support (pip and npm)

  • Markdown, themes, server-side snippet execution and more

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.
