Description

A plain text editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, search and replace, page guide, and much more. It's like TextEdit but more powerful and optimised for iPhone and iPad.

- Syntax highlighting of many languages including HTML, JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, Swift, Python, PHP, YAML, and many more.
- Select one of the twelve standard themes including popular themes like Tomorrow, Dracula, Solarized, and One Dark Pro.
- Innovative find and replace for searching and modifying text while still viewing your file.
- Choose font and font size, including support for custom fonts imported using another third-party app.
- Show the line and column the cursor is located on.
- Uses the standard document browser for an experience similar to the Files app.
- Quickly navigate to a specific line.
- Automatically close opening brackets and quotes.
- Multiple windows on the iPad.
- Format code using Prettier.js. Supported languages include CSS,HTML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP and more.
- Choose text encoding between popular encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO Latin 1, and many more.
- Enable or disable autocorrection, autocapitalization, and smart punctuation.
- Set default file extension of new files.
- Open files in Runestone from the Share Sheet.
- Print documents.

Premium features:
- Choose between eight app icons.
- Show line numbers.
- Highlight the selected line.
- Increase line height and letter spacing.
- Disable line wrapping to allow horizontal scrolling.
- Show tabs, spaces, and line breaks using a selected symbol.
- 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.
- Adjust the scaling of Markdown headings and disable highlighting of code blocks in Markdown.

This app should be on the frontpage

Higher-kinded sandwich on

Exactly what I needed and without an iOS 5 interface. Great work.

Good app, does what it promises. I would like some spell check support

roelandvbb on

I write non-code texts from time to time, spell check etc. would be a nice addition, make the app even more versatile. If that was introduced i might give 4 or 5 stars.

Lovely app

One of the best text/code editors I’ve tried for iPad. Please consider adding more languages for syntax highlighting. I have to sometimes edit some Visual Basic (.NET/VBScript) and PowerShell code for work, would be great if those could be added.

Missing keyboard Features

Iprenmannens syster on

Im somewhat surprised that a text editor lacks the pretty basic feature PageUp & PageDown Botth Ctrl and Cmd up/down goes to start end of file. Since no iPad keyboards that I know of have native PgUp/Dn this would be a pretty essential feature. Please add and I will rate it higher! I give a plus for suporting move selection by using Opt arrow, but without PgUp/Dn it doesnt matter much since the tool is not practical to use in the first lace.

Easy, straight forward

qwertyuuoppp on

Nice dark background. Reliable text editor.

Excellent for on the road

BoniFace000 on

Free for simple tasks. I use it on holiday to streamline my website.

No reaction on support requests.

GeVaSta on

Sadly I get no responses on multiple retries on getting answers to a questions. Now I like to know how to exit a edited document without saving it. Impossible to find! Also I like to know how to switch autosave, also impossible to get an answer.

Finally : )

Appjesapper on

A great little text editor!! Waited for this a long time. Directly bought the premium, although I don’t need the premium feautures. To support the developer.

Best editor on iPad

Tijnksi on

Really feature rich! Definitely recommended. The only things that I miss is setting sync to other devices via iCloud.

Love it

Kamaal1 on

Really on the go on a iPad
