Zero-setup Python IDE that runs your code offline, an AI coding assistant, and a developer toolbox — in a first-class citizen app for iPad and iPhone. Juno is designed to cover all your Python coding needs, supporting both Python scripts (.py) and Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb) — a document format focused on applying Python to data analysis and computational science. FREE FEATURES - Navigate and manage files and folders, quickly preview documents and media - Browse and edit Jupyter notebooks in a powerful, customizable notebook editor with beautifully rendered previews — editing is free - Write and edit code sources, scripts, JSON, XML, and other text-based formats — one versatile editor for code and text alike, with syntax highlighting - Add quick access bookmarks for file system locations outside the app's sandbox, or simply open documents in place PRO FEATURES Only one thing in Juno is Pro: running code. Even that is free to try — a generous trial allowance lets you run notebooks, scripts, projects, and the REPL before you buy. After the trial, running code unlocks with a one-time Pro purchase — not a subscription. - Run Jupyter notebooks, Python scripts, and whole projects locally with the built-in Python 3.13 interpreter and a full suite of up-to-date, preinstalled scientific and data packages — entirely offline - Explore interactively in a Python REPL — open a standalone prompt, or drop into it after running a script or project to keep exploring what it defined - Search the variables, functions, and imports in your session with the Object Inspector — no need to print each one - Open any folder as a project: file tree, multiple editor tabs, run any script, with a coding assistant aware of the whole project - Keep side outputs — Preview, Browser, Console, Object Inspector — open as side-by-side tabs in an output sidebar - View local web servers and HTML your code produces in a built-in browser with developer debug tools - Long-running scripts and Jupyter sessions keep going in the background - Automate with Shortcuts and Siri: App Intents run a Python file, run Python code, or open a file — pass arguments and files, capture output, and chain actions - Leverage powerful data analysis, machine learning and developer tools: NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib, SciPy, Scikit-learn, OpenCV, LXML, and more - Enjoy painless package management: install any pure Python package with an intuitive package manager AI CODING ASSISTANT The assistant runs on your key, not ours: add your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini API key, and requests go straight from your device to your provider. You control what you spend and share — Juno never takes a cut. PYTHON MEETS iOS Reach native iOS APIs straight from Python with the built-in juno modules: clipboard, Keychain, device info, location, motion sensors, contacts, reminders, photos, sound, notifications, sharing, and Bluetooth. Show native alerts and pickers, present full-screen image, video, and web previews, or call into UIKit, Foundation, and any Objective-C framework via the Objective-C bridge. PYTHON SCRIPTS Python scripts are plain-text Python source code files with a .py extension. Juno lets you work on these with snappy, intelligent code completion, a console with full terminal emulator support, and a built-in media viewer for code-generated images, plots, web apps, and more — executed by the embedded Python interpreter, locally on your iPhone or iPad and completely offline. JUPYTER NOTEBOOKS A Jupyter notebook is a versatile document format that stores live code, markdown text, plots, images, and LaTeX equations in a single .ipynb file. Notebooks keep a record of every input and output of an interactive session, embedding rich output (HTML, images, video, plots) right in the document — a perfect playground for data analysis, machine learning, and computational science, and Juno makes working with them a breeze!

About

TDInput

Read full description

Your body is an input device. TDInput streams every sensor on your Apple Watch AND iPhone directly into TouchDesigner as live CHOP channels — no custom hardware, no complex setup. Tilt your wrist to rotate geometry. Let your heartbeat drive particle systems. Scroll the Digital Crown to scrub a timeline. Wave your phone to control camera angles. TDInput turns natural body movement into creative control. APPLE WATCH SENSORS • Wrist Orientation — pitch, roll, and yaw at 50Hz • Acceleration — raw hand movement with gravity removed • Gravity Vector — which way is down relative to the watch • Rotation Rate — angular velocity on each axis • Heart Rate — live BPM via workout session • Digital Crown — precise tactile scroll input iPHONE SENSORS • Device Motion — full 6-axis orientation and acceleration at 50Hz • Magnetometer — calibrated compass heading on three axes • Barometric Altitude — relative elevation changes and atmospheric pressure • Battery Level — use charge state as a slow-changing creative input HOW IT WORKS 1. Open TDInput on your iPhone and enter your Mac's IP address. 2. In TouchDesigner, drop in an OSC In CHOP set to port 9000. 3. Open TDInput on your Apple Watch and tap Start. 4. Toggle iPhone Sensors on for phone data. 5. 30+ channels appear instantly in TD. No pairing codes, no Bluetooth dongles, no plugins. Standard OSC over your local Wi-Fi — the same protocol TD already speaks. BUILT FOR • TouchDesigner artists and creative coders • Live performance and interactive installations • VJs and real-time visual performers • Educators teaching sensor-driven art • Anyone exploring embodied interaction FULL OSC ADDRESS MAP Watch: /watch/motion/pitch,roll,yaw • /watch/accel/x,y,z • /watch/gravity/x,y,z • /watch/rotation/x,y,z • /watch/heart/bpm • /watch/crown/delta Phone: /phone/motion/pitch,roll,yaw • /phone/accel/x,y,z • /phone/gravity/x,y,z • /phone/rotation/x,y,z • /phone/magnetic/x,y,z • /phone/altitude/relative,pressure • /phone/battery/level All values arrive as standard OSC floats — wire them into selectCHOP, filterCHOP, and mathCHOP like any other channel. PERFORMANCE 50Hz motion updates give smooth, responsive control. Watch battery lasts approximately 4-5 hours of continuous streaming. The app uses a HealthKit workout session to keep sensors active.
