Open Source Swift Code Editors

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.

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.
