Open Source Swift Code Editors

Bringing desktop-like editing experience to iPad, available on App Store and TestFlight. Use VS Code as a design template while providing key functionalities with Monaco-editor and native code. We built it because there is nothing else on the App Store that provides all these features in one app. A robust, high-performance text editor (Monaco Editor from Visual Studio Code) First class local file system support. Embedded emulated terminal. Local backend development environment (Node and PHP) Local Python Runtime. Local Clang compiler. Git Version Control. Package manager support (Pip and NPM) and Remote connection support (Files and terminal). While we want to make the editing experience as close as a desktop offers, Code App is still bounded by iOS's limitations. For example, you cannot download arbitrary commands or modules with native components. Spawning subprocesses is also not possible.

Performant plain text editor for iOS with syntax highlighting, line numbers, invisible characters and much more. Runestone uses GitHub's Tree-sitter to parse code to a syntax tree which is used for features that require an understanding of the code in the editor, for example syntax highlighting. Highlight ranges in the text view. Search the text using regular expressions. Automatically detects if a file is using spaces or tabs for indentation. Specify line endings (CR, LF, CRLF) to use when inserting a line break. Automatically detect line endings in a text. When judging the performance of Runestone, it is key to build your app in the release configuration. The optimizations applied by the compiler when using the release configuration becomes very apparent when opening large documents. The project should mostly work with Catalyst on the Mac, however, it isn't fully tested and the implementation isn't considered done. The focus is currently on the iPhone and iPad.

CodeEdit is a code editor built by the community, for the community, written entirely and unapologetically for macOS. Features include syntax highlighting, code completion, project find and replace, snippets, terminal, task running, debugging, git integration, code review, extensions, and more. Developers that use a Mac should be able to use an editor that feels at home on the Mac. Comparable editors are built on Electron. This is a huge limitation because it cannot utilize system resources to their fullest potential. Electron requires a Chromium instance to run. This can mean massive performance losses and high RAM usage even for small apps built on it. Additionally, the overall code footprint is much larger and animations are slower. More frames are lost and things like window resizing feels laggy. Native apps are smooth as butter and utilize system resources much more efficiently for better performance and reliability.

Aurora Editor is an innovative Integrated Development Environment (IDE) meticulously crafted in Swift, designed to deliver exceptional native performance on macOS. Envision all the capabilities of Xcode, but enhanced with multi-language support, seamless Git integration, and a suite of your favorite built-in development tools. Aurora Editor is built by the community, for the community, aiming to be the go-to choice for developers seeking a robust and efficient coding environment.
