Developer Tools

Code App

Code App is an iPad editor with a local file workspace, embedded runtimes and remote development tools.

Our take

Choose it for editing and running supported projects on an iPad without a full desktop IDE.

Monaco, a terminal and Git fit a code-first workflow, with SSH or FTP available for remote files.

Keep in mind: Check language, package and Files limitations for your project; embedded runtimes are not a complete desktop environment.

What you can do

  • Edit code and Markdown
  • Use supported runtimes and package managers
  • Manage Git or connect to a remote system

Good for

  • Someone who wants an iPad editor for local scripts or occasional remote work.

Consider alternatives for

  • Someone who needs unrestricted compilers, containers or desktop extensions.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • Check language, package and Files limitations for your project; embedded runtimes are not a complete desktop environment.

Privacy & permissions

Remote connections can send credentials and project data to systems you select; some execution is local.
