Description

The Ultimate Code Wrapper gives you the ability to access all your Code-Server, OpenVSCode Server, gitpod, github.dev, vscode.dev*, github codespaces, github1s, jupyter notebooks, jetbrains projector and stackblitz online instances in one place "with tweeks". That means you can use all defined and global shortcuts without the limitation of a browser.
UCoW also adds a custom Keybar, including an innovative new "cursor control stick" to the virtual keyboard.
Short features overview:
• Access to all keyboard shortcuts (physical keyboard required)
• Extra Key-bar with many onscreen shortcuts
(including a virtual stick to move the cursor without a trackpad/mouse)
• Best possible performance on iPad devices
• Quick switch between multiple code-server instances
• Optimized Trackpad support
• Multi instance and window support
• Editor scale/zoom support
••• ! ••• This app requires a self hosted code-server instance
or an account at one of the supported services ••• ! •••
Supported Services:
• Code-Server (self-hosted)
You can download code-server at: https://github.com/cdr/code-server
• NEW! OpenVSCode Server (self-hosted)
Download it at: https://github.com/gitpod-io/openvscode-server
• NEW! Support for VSCode and Jupyter Notebook Add-On in Home Assistant (www.home-assistant.io)
• NEW! Join a live share (VSCode Extension) on https://VSCode.dev via URL or Liveshare id
• Gitpod (gitpod.io)
• Github Codespaces (github.com/features/codespaces)
• Github1s (github1s.com)
• Stackblitz (stackblitz.com)
• VSCode.dev* (github.dev)
• Jetbrains Projector (jetbrains.com/projector)
• Jupyter Notebooks (jupyter.org)
• more services will follow soon

* IMPORTANT! for VSCode.dev (VS Code Server & Liveshare) there is an new separate App available on the AppStore.
Please check out: "VSCoW - Code Wrapper" for this case.

••• ! ••• An internet connection is required to work

••• ! ••• An external keyboard is recommended to use the app since selection with the touch cursor is not supported in VSCode at this moment.

My go-to app for coding outside work

MacLover91 on

United States

tl;dr: Great app. Great support. This is THE way to code away from your Mac. I like to keep work and personal time separate, so I generally don’t like turning on my work computer outside of work hours (the MacBook Pro I use for work is my only computer). Having this app and a code-server instance hosted on my main cloud linux server allows me to take my 12.9” iPad Pro (with attached magic keyboard) wherever I want and code from there, having a setup that’s almost as good as working on the Mac (though iPad will never be a full match for the Mac as a development device, and I don’t have a second monitor I can use out on the couch). After the update a while back to support stage manager (which I don’t use), I had been having an issue where cmd-w would close the app instead of the active tab. As a heavy keyboard shortcut user who always hides tab close buttons to avoid mis-clicks, that gave me a lot of trouble, so I was stuck using my workaround cmd-shift-w. When I finally contacted the developer earlier this week (Tuesday), I got a reply within 24 hours saying a fix was on the way and would be out once Apple finished reviewing it. When I checked for updates yesterday afternoon (Friday), the update was there, and I installed it and tried it out. Initially, it had switched from closing the app to doing nothing, so I contacted the developer again and got a response back this morning telling me to change a setting in the editor, and after changing that setting and reloading the editor, the cmd-w shortcut was working great. I’m definitely very happy with the app, and when I needed an issue fixed, I found that the support is pretty good too. Some of the best parts of the app are the full keyboard support (all shortcuts make it to the editor), and the auto-login on app launch. Now that the cmd-w issue is fixed, the only complaints I have left are all about code-server (like a poor extension selection); the app itself is perfect. Even if there were a reasonably-priced subscription for this app, I’d be happy to pay it, it would definitely be worth it.

Waste of money for Gitpod.io

It’s basically just a viewport. You get the same thing from just using Safari.

Pretty good, something could be improved

Works quite well, despite a few issues here and there: 1. The input method floating thingy takes up 1/10 of screen space, which is kinda annoying 2. Sometimes nothing happens after key press; must press tab or something else first 3. Sometimes pressing enter has no effect; must type shift+enter to create a newline

workspace support
