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.
Pragma Sh Go

Pragma Go is the mobile companion to Pragma, the desktop workspace for running coding agents in parallel. Pair it with Pragma on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer and take your whole workspace with you: every project, worktree, agent, and terminal, live. REAL TERMINALS Open a shell on your computer and type into it. A terminal you open on the phone is a real tab: it shows up on the desktop too and survives a restart. A key bar adds the keys a phone keyboard lacks (ctrl, esc, tab, ^C, and the arrows). The phone borrows the terminal's size while you look and hands it back when you leave, so your desktop layout is never disturbed. A dropped connection picks up where it left off, and a keystroke is never sent twice. LAUNCH AND STEER AGENTS Create worktrees and launch Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and other agents, picking the model and reasoning effort for each. Follow a session as a chat or switch to its raw terminal. Answer agent questions and approve commands, the same prompts the desktop shows, from wherever you are. FAN OUT Send one prompt to several agents at once and compare the attempts side by side. Swipe between them, read every file each one changed, send follow-ups to all of them or just one, and pick the winner to merge. COMMIT & PULL REQUEST Tap once to have AI group your changes into logical commits, then review the title, description, and base branch before anything is pushed. Your computer runs the job, not your phone: locking the screen or losing signal won't cancel it or start it twice. PROJECT SCRIPTS AND PORTS Start your dev server or any project script with a tap, and stop it the same way. See which ports your worktree is listening on and open them in your phone's browser through your own tunnel, with a design mode for pointing at an element and asking an agent to change it. FILES, DIFFS, AND SCRATCHPADS Browse a worktree's files with syntax highlighting, read diffs, and read and comment on the scratchpads and whiteboards your agents write. ACCOUNTS AND USAGE See every agent account's plan usage and when it resets, and switch which account an agent launches with. WIDGETS AND NOTIFICATIONS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show agents waiting on you, live agent status, pending approvals, and your projects. Push notifications tell you when an agent finishes or needs an answer, and stay quiet while you're at your desk. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pragma Go talks only to your own computer, over a tunnel you control. Pair it by scanning a QR code, and every request needs your device's token. Your code never passes through Pragma's servers. Requires the free Pragma desktop app (macOS, Linux, or Windows), available at pragma.sh.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pragma Sh Go at none against Edit Go's 2. Pragma Sh Go also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
