Code App is a desktop-class code editor for iPadOS built with SwiftUI and the Monaco editor, featuring Git integration, an embedded terminal, SSH support, and built-in Python, Node.js, C/C++, PHP, and Java runtimes. It is distributed on the App Store and TestFlight, with this repository containing its MIT-licensed source code.
Use cases
- write and run Python code on an iPad
- edit code with a desktop-class editor on iPadOS
- use git to clone, commit, and push from an iPad
- run a local Node.js or PHP web development environment on iPad
- connect to a remote server over SSH from an iPad
- compile and run C/C++ code on an iPad
When to choose
- you need a full-featured code editor with local language runtimes on an iPad
- you want git, terminal, and SSH in a single iPad app
- you develop web projects (Node/PHP) or Python directly on iPadOS
When to avoid
- you need arbitrary native command-line tools or subprocess spawning, which iOS restricts
- you need a code editor on desktop platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux)
- you require every VS Code extension or full VS Code compatibility
