Kodex

A powerful code editor

Description

Kodex is an advanced code editor which brings powerful and desktop-class editor features to your iPad or iPhone:
* Multi-caret editing, to quickly transform code selections.
* Regex search and replace, with template matching and replace-all-matches.
* Minimap which allows quick scroll navigation though the document.
* Multiple window support
* Syntax highlighting for over 150 languages.
* Trackpad support with custom gestures to add cursors (ctrl+shift+click).
* Auto complete feature (currently only for HTML).
* Add as many guide columns as you wish (default 80 and 120 characters).
* Configurable tab size (default 4 spaces), or insert spaces when pressing tab.
* Draw hints for invisible characters such as new lines, tabs, and spaces.
* Customizable key bindings, so you can configure Kodex to use the same key combos you are already used to.
* Kodex smartly preserves your open documents so that your work stays as you left it between launches.
* Light and Dark modes.
Kodex is integrated with the Files app, so you can easily open files from any other app, and from your iCloud documents folder.
You can launch Kodex QuickEdit from any file sharing view in any app to edit its contents without launching the main Kodex App (be aware this functionality depends on the host app implementing the sharing activity properly).
Included are 10 editor themes, and several monospaced fonts for code editing (you can install your own preferred fonts using system profiles). Font size and line spacing are adjustable, so you can configure Kodex to best fit your preferred screen size, arrangement, and orientation.
Kodex is not a compiler, and you can not build or run the code you edit from it. Think of Kodex as a NotePad++ or Sublime Text substitute for iPhone and iPad.
Kodex is currently optimized for external keyboards, such as Apple's Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro, or any bluetooth/USB keyboard. More virtual keyboard features will be added in a future version.

Kodex Reviews

Great when it works

00ce6b185359fe8d64f320c on

United States

I've been using Kodex for maybe a decade now and find it to be an excellent text editor — when it works. Unfortunately, it crashes *a lot*, even crashing repeatedly when e.g. working on a 4-line bash script with only one tab open. I like Kodex enough to keep using it despite the constant crashes, but sometimes they are frustrating enough for me to just use something inferior for a few months. It would be nice if users were able to either import a font or select one installed on the system. The built-in options are broadly not wonderful, I'd like to be able to use my preferred IDE font (which happens to be 'Courier Prime Code', it's open source and could definitely be included in Kodex).

Lacking mobile code editor

Pacifiky on

United States

There are so many missing features of this code editor and it’s painful. First of all, WHERE’S THE REDO BUTTON? Being able to accidentally press the undo button with no way of knowing what you did is so frustrating. And another thing: PLEASE ADD A WORD WRAP TOGGLE! Word wrapping warps the text and makes it hard to distinguish between statements so please add a toggle!

Seems broken on iPadOS 17.x

Tetsuo29 on

I love this app. It’s the best text editor I’ve found or iOS / iPadOS. Unfortunately, it seems broken on the latest iPadOS 17.x. I went ahead and tipped and I hope the dev will be able to fix it.

I love it (pls read)

this app won’t open a mcmeta file, which is a text file by the way.

Complicated coding

Pac-ManPlayer18374 on

I don’t know how to code the pro way. I’m 8 and use Tynker. I didn’t expect it to be like this. But pls make it easier.

Trouble getting started

ATPick on

United States

I created a file within Kodex and could not open it. App would crash every time. After a while I opened an existing file and it worked fine. And the Kodex file also opened. Weird bug. I wasn’t impressed with getting started, but I haven’t had much chance to really use the app.

Sounds great but crashes on startup

Jose Cosa on

United States

The very first file I tried to create makes the app crash before it even opens.

Crashes and no update in 2+ years

App addicted2 on

United States

Crashes when opening an existing file as well as when creating a new one. Abandonware

Abandoned by app developer

Michael Robert Dolgon on

United States

This app used to be quite good, at the time when it was still being actively developed, at least, it was competitive with other similar applications available for iOS/iPadOS. However, the developer has not pushed out any updates to this app in over 2 years now, which is basically a lifetime in the world of the App Store where things move even quicker than the regular software world. I wish Apple would do more to notify people of the status of the app…something like a highlighted block of bolded text that says “Note: This application has not been updated in (X amount of time) and we have received a number of complaints from users regarding bugs/broken features.”, there’s way too much stuff like this on the App Store. Oh well.
