Kodo is an AI code editor and mobile IDE for iPhone and iPad. The AI assistant runs 100% on your device — it even works in airplane mode. Plus a real, interactive SSH terminal in your pocket. Edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Python, Swift, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Kotlin, Dart, SQL, JSON, Markdown, YAML, XML, Shell and Dockerfile, plus 150 additional languages and file formats. Get VS Code–style syntax highlighting, multiple tabs, find & replace, version history and a live web preview — all offline. KEY FEATURES • On-device AI (Qwen via llama.cpp): writes, explains, fixes and completes code. Download a model once and work anywhere. • Inline AI autocomplete: the model suggests the next lines as you type — accept with Tab, or one tap on iPhone. Fastest on iPad and recent iPhone Pro. • SQL playground: open any .db or .sqlite file and run real queries, with autocomplete that proposes tables after FROM and columns after SELECT. • Real SSH terminal: a full interactive shell with htop, vim, ANSI colors, Ctrl-C/D/Z and tab-completion. • SFTP & FTP: browse, edit and upload to remote servers. Credentials stay in the Keychain. • GitHub: clone repositories, update your clone when the repo moves on, and push files. • JSON tools: format, minify and validate — your key order is preserved. • Reusable snippets and a 16-project learning guide. • Offline formatter & Emmet: format HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript and JSON, and expand HTML/CSS abbreviations without a connection. PRIVACY FIRST No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your files and credentials stay on your device. Note: Kodo previews HTML and Markdown but does not run programming languages such as Python, PHP or Swift locally.
