Report an issueTHE INCREDIBLE, POWERFUL TEXT EDITOR YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU. Includes Panic Sync, our secure, super sync service — for FREE.
THE SHORT VERSION: • A stunningly full-featured text editor • Works on both the iPhone or iPad • Editor features Clips, Find & Replace (with placeholder!), Context Keys, Super Loupe, much more. • Syntax highlighting for Apache, C, CSS, Diff, Go, Haml, HTML, INI, Java, JavaScript, LESS, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, Scheme, Shell, SQL, Swift, XML and YAML • Local or Remote file management • Remote protocols include SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, DreamObjects, and FTP (Plain, TLS, SSL) support • Preview • Playgrounds • SSH Terminal • Much more!
THE LONG VERSION: Code Editor is a text editor with syntax highlighting, clips, find replace, the works. But it also has a full file manager, allowing you to work with files locally or remotely. It has a cool keyboard with context keys and an amazing super loupe to set your cursor. It manages 'sites' so you can quickly get to work, and it'll even sync those sites. It'll preview your pages, of course. And we've also thrown in a full-featured SSH terminal. It's an incredible app.
SITES. The foundation of Code Editor: create a site for each of your projects, local or remote, and quickly get to the files you need to edit. Better still, use our free Panic Sync service to sync these sites with our Mac apps, securely and quickly.
FILES. We've been building file managers for a really long time — we've got this. Local, remote, or any mix of the two. Edit, rename, duplicate, create folders, upload, download, you name it, you got it.
EDITING. Tap a file to land in our highly-optimized text editor, which syntax highlights your code with ease. Now, try this: move the insertion point. Whoa. That's the Super Loupe, magnifying magic we think is the best way to precisely set your cursor.
CLIPS. Have a handful of code bits you re-use a lot? Tap the clips icon in Code Editor, and load them in. Now you can insert them with a single tap.
FIND / REPLACE. Let’s say you accidentally inverted the values of your width and height tags. With our find and replace banner — and its breakthrough wildcard button — you can easily replace or swap or re-arrange your text.
TERMINAL. Really? Like, a full-featured SSH client built-in? Sure! Not only is it great value for your money, but it's also great help to getting your work done. Connect to your sites with a tap, and get the full-featured spot-on emulation of Prompt.
TABS. Quickly switch between your open documents. I know, it's obvious. But still.
CONTEXT KEYS. We've added a special section to your iOS keyboard that gives you the most useful, helpful special characters, automatically. It takes a lot of the pain out of writing code on a piece of glass.
We've put a desktop-class amount of work into Code Editor. It's truly a pro app. But, it's not hard to learn. And most amazingly, you're getting an incredible amount of power at a killer price.
Help support Panic, so we can continue to make great iOS professional tools. Buy Code Editor today!

8 of 15This remains an excellent tool to use, though I tend to be worried about its future on iPadOS. I hope the developers will keep an iteration of it. The only big request I would make is the ability to make the editing code type larger.
Coda makes it simple and efficient for me to make regular updates to various websites. From complete control of server access configuration, to complete control of files being worked on, staged, and published, Coda gives a web designer complete flexibility with a functional and intuitive file manager, code editor and secure file transfer. What used to require multiple applications on a desktop computer, now is consolidated into a single app on my phone. Very well designed and implemented interface, responsive support. Well worth the price. I wasted too much time trying to do these tasks using free apps and web based resources. Purchasing this software was a good decision and significantly improved y productivity.
It may see odd to code on a phone, but it can be super handy in emergencies or even just to play around with an idea.
It is sad to see it go. Please bring it back
As of November 4, 2020, this app cannot handle files stored locally on an iPad. If you need to work with local files, buy Textastic for $10 instead of spending $25 on this app. Am looking forward to the day when Panic addresses this ridiculous shortcoming so my $25 won’t have been wasted.
This thing is still charging money to not work. Don’t buy it.
Love this company as a whole, I think they make fantastic applications for developers. Code Editor for iOS is no different, featuring that classic Panic polish, and an extremely intuitive interface that does not come at the expense of power and flexibility. Docking one star because of the current limitation on importing / mounting iCloud Drive. Hoping that feature can come to Code Editor sooner rather than later, and that I don’t have to wait until the eventual Nova for iOS drop. Though i will probably buy that day one :)
it is emmet less and zen coding not available if you can patch that quickly that would be great. 25 bucks you will expect the feature to be included. Common we are in the 21st century we need this.
