Codigueo will basically be your great library of all your precious swift code that you normally use and / or that you collect through the web. But that's not all, you can edit swift documents anywhere you are or create Swift files to add to your Xcode projects. You can even discover code snippets from other users around the world and make your work easier. IMPORTANT: an iCloud account is required to store the snippets. Codigueo bets on a future in the cloud. That is why some functionalities require iCloud storage. With iCloud enabled your Swift files will also be stored locally in the Files App on your device. Main Features • Add as many Snippets as you want. There are no limits. • Create, import and edit Swift files. • Save the imported Swift files as Snippets. • Access to all your snippets from the code editor • Drag and Drop Support to create snippets of existing snippets. • iCloud Support, all your Snippets synced across all your compatible devices. • Share your Snippets as real code or as text with whoever you want. • Discover and save Snippets of other users from Codigueo.
