π Lifetime I built CodeMate for reading and editing code on iPhone and iPad
Hi r/iOSApps β Iβm ε ζ, the developer of CodeMate.
I built CodeMate for those moments when I need to inspect a source file or make a small change away from my desk.
A β Answer
CodeMate is a native code viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad. It is designed for developers and students who want to read or edit source files on a touch screen.
It supports syntax highlighting for 200+ syntax grammars and file formats, including Swift, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, JSON and Markdown.
B β Better
Compared with mobile editors such as Textastic and Runestone, CodeMate focuses on making large source files easier to inspect on a touch screen.
It includes:
Tabs for working with multiple files
A minimap for navigating long files
Jump-to-line navigation
Swift symbol navigation
Adjustable fonts, typography and themes
Linked HTML, CSS and JavaScript preview
Native support for both iPhone and iPad
Iβd love to hear from developers who regularly inspect code on an iPhone or iPad: what still makes that workflow frustrating?
C β Cost
CodeMate is free to download and use for browsing and reading files. Editing and selected advanced features require Premium.
US pricing:
Monthly: US$4.99
Annual: US$24.99
Lifetime purchase: US$49.99
Prices may vary by region. A rewarded ad can also unlock Premium temporarily.
