DevBox vs Edsger

DevBox is a code editor and IDE that runs PHP, Python, Node.js and Go on your phone or tablet, with a local web server, a MySQL database and a Linux terminal. No laptop and no remote server. Open a project, tap Run, and your site opens in the built-in browser at localhost. Change a file, refresh, and see the result. Write code, run it, and preview it: a full web development IDE on the device. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • PHP sites on PHP 8.5 with .htaccess support, or a Laravel app with Composer • A Node.js server or API, or a React, Vue, Angular or Svelte app with npm install and npm run dev • Python scripts and web apps, with libraries from pip • Go programs and web servers • HTML, CSS and JavaScript websites with live preview • Apps backed by a MySQL database, managed with phpMyAdmin CODE EDITOR • Syntax highlighting for PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, HTML, CSS and more • Find and replace, go to line, code formatting and tabs for open files • A key row above the keyboard for brackets, quotes and symbols LOCAL WEB SERVER AND PREVIEW • PHP, Node.js, Python and Go dev servers on localhost, with output and request logs • Built-in browser with Eruda DevTools to inspect your pages LINUX TERMINAL • A real Linux terminal (Alpine) with command history and scrollback • npm, pip, composer, go and git, plus more tools and compilers from apk MYSQL AND PHPMYADMIN • A MariaDB server on the device that works with any MySQL library • Create databases and users, run SQL, import and export dumps in phpMyAdmin GIT • Clone, commit, branch, push and pull over HTTPS or SSH • GitHub, GitLab or your own server; search GitHub and import a repo as a new project MORE • Open projects from local storage, FTP or SSH, and iCloud Drive on iPhone and iPad • Start a project from a template, an empty folder or an AI prompt • AI tools to improve, refactor or comment your code • Offline docs for PHP, Node.js, Python and Go Pick a language, write your code in the code editor, and tap Run to start coding with an IDE that fits in your pocket. The terminal and MariaDB are available as one-time purchases or with DevBox Pro. Installing packages, Git remotes and the AI assistant need an internet connection; writing, running and previewing code work offline. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://devbox.porizm.com/privacy?lang=en

Edsger is a coding workspace for iPhone and iPad. Write C, Python, JavaScript or Lua, press Run, and your program runs right on your device. No account, no ads, and no network needed to write or run code. Ask Edsger, the built-in AI tutor, to explain code, fix an error or walk through a math or science problem. The free tutor and coding agent run entirely on your device, so your code and questions stay private. FOUR LANGUAGES, ON DEVICE • C with PicoC, a small interpreter • Python 3.14 with the standard library • JavaScript with JavaScriptCore • Lua 5.5 Each language has its own projects, syntax highlighting, console input and Stop. AI THAT HELPS YOU LEARN • Chat: ask questions, attach documents, and get step-by-step math • Agent IDE: describe a change and the agent reads, edits and runs files in your project, with restore points • On-device models are free and work offline EDSGER PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) • Dijkstra Super Fast 1.0, a faster cloud model for Chat and the Agent IDE, with a monthly AI allowance • Photos in Chat with Dijkstra • Bring your own OpenAI or Claude API key • Push projects to your GitHub account • A custom Chat note and extra colors Pro Plus includes three times the Pro allowance. Cloud AI only runs after you allow sharing, and you can turn it off anytime. HONEST LIMITS C runs in PicoC, not GCC or Clang, so some standard library features are missing. Python, JavaScript and Lua run without package installs, network access or GUIs. AI can make mistakes; review its code and don't rely on it for medical, legal or financial advice. Subscriptions renew monthly unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage them in your Apple Account settings.
