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
