"Smart JSON & XML Editor is the all-in-one mobile toolkit for developers, testers, and data analysts who work with structured data every day. Whether you are debugging API responses, editing configuration files, formatting complex nested objects, or converting between JSON and XML formats — this app provides everything you need in a single, fast, and reliable experience. THREE POWERFUL EDITING MODES Switch instantly between three professional editing views to work the way you prefer: Tree View — Navigate and edit your data in a collapsible, hierarchical tree structure. Expand, collapse, and modify nodes with a tap. See the full structure of your data at a glance and make precise edits without touching raw code. Source View — Work directly with raw code in a professional editor featuring syntax highlighting, line numbers, search, code folding, and adjustable font size. Toggle between Edit mode and View mode for safe browsing. List View — Browse key-value pairs in a clean, flat layout for quick scanning and editing. Perfect for finding specific values in large files. SMART SOURCE EDITOR The built-in code editor gives you a desktop-class experience on your mobile device: • Syntax highlighting for both JSON and XML with distinct colors for keys, values, strings, numbers, and brackets • Line numbers for precise navigation and reference • Search functionality to find any key, value, or text instantly • Code folding to collapse sections and focus on what matters • Adjustable font size for comfortable reading on any screen • Edit mode and View mode toggle for safe browsing ONE-TAP FORMAT & MINIFY Transform messy, minified, or unreadable data into clean, beautifully indented and formatted output with a single tap. Or minify formatted data for compact storage and network transmission. Works seamlessly for both JSON and XML files. JSON ↔ XML CONVERSION Convert any JSON file to XML or any XML file to JSON with one tap. The app automatically updates the file extension and preserves your data structure. This is perfect for developers working across different systems, APIs, and platforms that use different data formats. POWERFUL DATA OPERATIONS Take full control of your data with comprehensive editing tools: • Add new keys, values, objects, and arrays at any position • Delete single items or entire branches of your data tree • Rename keys without disrupting the structure • Duplicate nodes and entire subtrees for quick replication • Copy and paste data across documents • Multi-select mode for batch operations on multiple nodes at once — delete, move, or copy several items simultaneously FLEXIBLE IMPORT OPTIONS Open data from anywhere. Import files from your device storage, paste JSON or XML content directly from your clipboard, or load data from any URL. No matter how your data arrives, this app handles it instantly. LOCAL FILE MANAGEMENT All your files are organized in the app's built-in document manager.

CodeConnect Remote
Read full descriptionHide full description
CodeConnect puts every coding-agent session running on your own computer into your hand. Works with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Steer an agent mid-run, answer the permission prompt it is blocked on, review its diff, or take over its terminal outright. Your sessions travel directly between the app and the CodeConnect daemon on your own machine. No server sits in between, and your code never leaves your own devices. The single CodeConnect-operated service is a content-free push relay, described in full in the privacy policy. WHAT IT DOES • A fleet view. Every agent, what it is asking for, and how long it has been waiting. • Approvals that show the real command. Risk-tiered: a read is one tap, while a destructive command needs a deliberate hold and a biometric confirmation. The command is never truncated or faded, because a hidden suffix is exactly where a dangerous argument hides. • Codex, with its own options. A Codex request is answered with the choices Codex actually offered, including the exact scope of "don't ask again". Stop a running turn, or send a message that starts a turn when Codex is idle and joins the running one when it is busy. • Nothing decides without you. A prompt is held open until you answer it. If the daemon cannot be reached, the decision falls back to your keyboard rather than being silently answered on your behalf. • Diff review that works on a small screen. Unified, monospace, word-level highlighting, and a comment back to the agent on any hunk. • Talk to it. The compose bar stages text into the agent's prompt; template chips insert rather than send. Dictation is handled by the system speech recognizer, and a transcript is always staged for your review, never sent automatically. • A real terminal. Attach to the live session over the connection the app is already paired on, and take over completely. • It never lies about state. Every fact shows its age, a stale link disables actions and says why, and "answered at the keyboard" is a state the app renders rather than a guess. WHAT YOU NEED • A computer running macOS 13 or later, with the free CodeConnect daemon installed from codeconnect.sh (0.7.0 or later for Codex). Apple silicon and Intel are both supported. • tmux on that machine. • A network path from your phone to it — the same Wi-Fi, or any private network you operate. Tailscale is a common choice, and is optional. • iOS 17 or later. CodeConnect is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the vendors of the coding agents it supervises.
