Edit Go opens the text and code files your computer writes - and saves them straight back where they came from. No subscription. No account. No ads. Every editing feature is free. EDIT THE FILE, NOT A COPY Open documents directly from Files, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive or any other file provider. What you save goes back to the original - nothing is imported, nothing is duplicated. The file you edited on your Mac this morning is the same one you just changed on your phone. You can also open a whole folder and work through it without going back to Files each time. OPENS WHAT YOUR COMPUTER WRITES Automatic detection for UTF-8, UTF-16, GB18030, GBK, Shift_JIS, EUC-KR, ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 - so a config file from a Windows, Chinese, Japanese or Korean machine does not open as a screen of garbage. Switch line endings between LF (Unix), CRLF (Windows) and CR (classic Mac) whenever you need to. Encoding and line ending are remembered per file. MARKDOWN THAT READS LIKE MARKDOWN Headings, bold, italic, links, quotes and fenced code blocks are highlighted as you write, and code inside a fenced block is highlighted in its own language. Press return in a list and the next bullet is there waiting - numbered lists count up, task lists stay unchecked, and an empty item ends the list. A rendered preview is one tap away. HTML files preview too. BUILT FOR BIG SCREENS On iPad and on an unfolded iPhone Duo, your files sit in a sidebar next to the document you are editing. Open the preview and the sidebar steps aside, so the editor and the rendered page share the screen - side by side when it is wide, one above the other when it is tall. Fold iPhone Duo partway and the editor and preview move to either side of the fold. On iPad you can also open several windows at once. AN AI THAT NEVER SEES YOUR FILES Explain a block of config you didn't write. Summarize a log. Describe a pattern in plain words and get a regular expression you can run in Find. Translate a comment. Fix the syntax of a broken JSON or YAML file - you review every change before it is applied. All of it runs on the device itself - nothing is uploaded, nothing needs an account, and it works in airplane mode. It is also free. Requires iOS 26 or later on a device that supports Apple Intelligence. If yours doesn't, or Apple Intelligence isn't offered where you are, everything else in Edit Go works exactly the same. BUILT FOR QUICK, PRECISE EDITS - Syntax highlighting for 25 languages: Swift, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Perl, Lua, Haskell, Elixir, shell, HTML, CSS, Markdown, JSON, JSON5, YAML, TOML and SQL - Dedicated highlighting for .ini, .cfg, .conf and .properties config files - Find and replace - match case, whole word, regular expressions and replace all - Go to line, line numbers, current-line highlighting - Show invisible characters, page guide, line height, soft tabs and indent width - A keyboard bar you can fill with the characters you actually type - Undo and redo, adjustable font family and size - Shortcuts support: append a line to a file, create a file, read one, or open one - without launching the app - Print, share, duplicate and rename YOUR WORK IS NOT LOST Unsaved changes are written to a recovery draft as you type. If iOS reclaims the app while it is in the background, Edit Go offers to restore them the next time you open that file - and tells you when the file was changed somewhere else in the meantime. Deleting a file gives you a few seconds to undo. MAKE IT YOURS A free glass theme, plus optional Windows 95 and E-Ink themes if you would rather your editor did not look like everything else. PRIVACY Edit Go makes no network requests of its own. There is no account, no analytics and no server - your files stay on your device or in the cloud service you chose. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

AI coding agents that run in the cloud. No computer needed. Most mobile coding apps connect your phone to your own computer, so that computer has to stay on. Vibe Pocket works differently. You get your own cloud workspace, and your AI agent works there. Start a task from your phone, close the app, and the agent finishes the job. Come back later to read the reply, check the changes and run the result. CHOOSE YOUR AGENT Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Muse Code by Meta, Grok Build, Gemini and Antigravity, and more. Add more than one agent to the same workspace and switch between them. CHAT WITH IT Describe a feature, a fix or a question in plain words. Pick the model and how hard it should think, then send. Replies, file changes and errors show up right in the chat. SIGN IN FROM CHAT Use the AI plan you already have, or an API key. Sign in to your agent account inside the chat with a device code or a pasted code. No terminal steps. SEE AND RUN YOUR CODE - Editor: open and edit files with syntax highlighting. - Run: start your app in the workspace and open it, or share a preview link. - Projects: keep several projects in one workspace, see Git changes and commit. - Terminal: there whenever you want full control. START IN SECONDS Start from an empty project, one of your GitHub repositories or any public repository. Your files stay in your workspace between sessions. PLANS Vibe Pocket is a monthly subscription. You bring your own AI plan or API key; we do not sell model credits, and AI usage is billed by your provider. - Lite: 1 workspace. Sleeps after 20 minutes idle. - Plus: 3 workspaces. Sleeps after 2 hours idle. - Pro: 5 workspaces. Always on, never sleeps. On every plan, a task that is already running finishes even if you close the app. A sleeping workspace wakes up when you open it again. GOOD FOR Quick fixes on the go, trying an idea from the couch, keeping a side project moving, or checking on a long task from your phone. Code from your phone. No computer needed.
