Developer Tools
Subtext
Edit plain-text files directly on an iPhone, iPad or iCloud location, with line-ending and character-encoding controls.
Choose for small code or data-file changes.
Direct file editing avoids a separate import/export cycle.
Keep in mind: It is a text editor, not a compiler or full spreadsheet, and encoding changes can affect file compatibility.
