- Set default file extension of new files.
- Open files in Runestone from the Share Sheet.
- Print documents.

- Enable page guide at a specific column to easily tell when lines are getting too long.
- Add vertical and horizontal overscroll.
- Remember the selected language per file.
- Save file extensions and filenames that should always be treated as plain text files.
- Enable soft tabs and choose the width of the tab character.
- Specify whether pressing the tab key should insert a tab or indent the line.

Unusable

Scroll position is not saved which makes this app unusable

Amazing App!

I’d always hoped there would be a simple, yet highly functional, mobile text editor. Runestone is perfect, and there is not much locked behind paywalls. I would wish that there were more apps like this!

Great editor

For some people this may be more of a feature than a bug, but I really just need my ! and my = to remain as != instead of snapping to ≠ automatically. Maybe I just haven’t found the settings, but it shouldn’t be the default in code editors anyway. Otherwise, so far it’s been pretty neat!

Code folding?

Simple feature to set you apart from the rest ;)

Excellent iPad Text Editor

On macOS I use the venerable BBEdit, but for several years I’ve looked for an iPad text editor that was even half as capable. Runestone is exactly what I was looking for, and it’s remarkable that it was created and is maintained by a single individual - support them by getting the premium version!

I recently purchased the full version for my iphone, however on the mobile version and I find it difficult to view the final result of the written code. Can the developer make the steps a bit clearer for me please? Other than that, everything else is great!
