Kodex

Kodex edits source files on iPhone and iPad with multi-caret editing, regular-expression search and syntax highlighting.

Our take

Choose it for changing text files with an external keyboard while away from a desktop.

Files integration, multiple windows and configurable shortcuts support serious editing rather than a basic note field.

Keep in mind: It does not compile or run code, and the described autocomplete is limited to HTML.
