Voide is a mobile code editor with AI assistance, built for developers who want to use AI without handing their codebase over to an autonomous agent. AI makes writing code faster. But building software is more than writing code. Good software depends on decisions about architecture, boundaries, abstractions, and how a codebase should evolve. When an AI agent is given broad control over a project, it can solve the task in front of it without necessarily preserving the design behind the code. Voide takes a different approach. Let AI help write the code. Keep the architectural decisions yours. Start an AI task directly from the editor. Choose the code and context you want AI to work with. Ask it to implement, refactor, fix, explain, or review. Then inspect the proposed changes and decide what becomes part of your project. ► Work anywhere Your development environment doesn't have to stay at your desk. Use Voide on iPhone and iPad to inspect code, make changes, review AI-generated work, and keep your projects moving wherever you are. Work while traveling, between meetings, at a coffee shop, or away from your usual development setup. For digital nomads and developers who work across locations, Voide gives you a practical way to stay connected to your codebase. Voide is your mobile IDE. ► Built for developers • Edit code on iPhone and iPad • Work with GitHub repositories • Clone, pull, commit, and push • Bring your own AI provider and API key • Ask AI to implement, refactor, fix, explain, or review code • Select the code and context AI should work with • Review proposed changes before applying them ► Read, Explore, and Learn A mobile code editor isn't only for writing code. Read a codebase on your phone or iPad. Explore how a project works, follow unfamiliar code, experiment with changes, and learn from real-world projects wherever you are. Whether you're maintaining your own projects, reviewing someone else's code, or learning how a new codebase is structured, Voide gives you a place to work with code when you don't have your desktop in front of you. ► AI Without Losing the Architecture Voide is designed around a simple idea: AI should help you write code without taking over the decisions that shape your software. Give AI focused context and precise instructions. Let it handle the implementation. Review what it proposes. Decide what gets applied. You stay in control of the codebase and its architecture. Voide is for developers who want the speed and leverage of AI coding assistance while remaining the one directing the work. Your code. Your context. Your decisions. ► Bring Your Own AI Choose the AI provider that fits your workflow. Voide supports OpenAI and Anthropic, with your own API key. Choose the provider and model you want to use, and work with the AI tools you already trust. Your API keys are stored securely on your device and are used to communicate directly with your selected provider. ► Terms Subscription Agreement and Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
