About

Take your work everywhere. Code while you're waiting for the bus or when you're relaxing in a nice beach. Edit your files directly from the cloud. DroidEdit works with Dropbox, Drive, Box, (S)FTP servers and Git. More file providers coming shortly. Syntax highlighting for almost 200 different programming languages. Don't rush to your office if you receive an emergency call asking you to change some code. Just pick your mobile phone and edit everything you need. Checkout, edit, commit and push directly from your phone or tablet. Some developers prefer dark backgrounds, others can only code on paper white screens. To each his own. Use one of the many provided themes for syntax highlighting. If you don't like any, create your own. Expand simple expressions into full fledged HTML code automagically using Emmet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's free and open-source, extremely fast start-up times, uses very little memory, and surprisingly customizable (I barely did any myself though; I wanted to keep it light). I find it useful for swiftly taking notes at a moment's notice, but I have also used it to quickly peek through config files, source code, or even certain text documents--they all just work. As a user who swaps between Windows and Linux, it being cross-platform is such a huge plus for me, and is the leading reason why I use it over Notepad++. As much as I like tinkering with software and hardware alike, I also don't want to find out that certain features I use regularly on one OS's notepad don't exist on other OS's notepads, even some third-party ones. It's just some peace of mind.

Cons

  • It lags for ~1 sec when it wraps text for the first time since the app was opened. Even after using this app for over a year, I still find the logo hard to identify as a text editor of any kind. I still have to tell people who borrow my laptop that my notepad app is this, even when it's pinned to the taskbar and start menu.
