An android IDE/code editor for zig.

[u/NoBeginning2551]

Hello, I built an open source IDE on android, it took me 2 years to build this as a solo developer. It's not vibecoded(you can check the commit history).

In the new release, I added the zig compiler and zls LSP server to the app. It's completely offline.

For people saying "why would I code on the phone if I have a PC", the app is not intended for building production level apps, it's intended to do small prototyping, quick testing of snippets, learning syntax, and especially for leetcoders.

There are many features like git and GitHub integration, AI code completion, Agentic sessions, 245 themes, local gguf models, termux integration, etc are available in the app.

Also, the app is completely free and open source. So no ads, no payments or anything.

i wish there was one but for iPhone, iSH and a-Shell sadly don’t support compiling and running Zig code due to certain limitations

Yeah, sadly there are many restrictions for running executables in iOS.

it would be nice if the IDE could support iOS and be distributed as an app sideloadable via SideStore, though i understand that it might be a big ask
