RatNest vs Code Workspace

RatNest connects your iPhone to your desktop coding workspace so you can run Codex tasks anywhere. Use natural language to inspect code, request edits, and follow task progress in real time. Each chat keeps its own project context so you can continue work without losing thread history. Review project snapshots directly on iPhone, including line-by-line file diffs with added and removed lines highlighted. Switch projects, manage chats, and keep your workflow moving when you are away from your computer. For sensitive workflows, bridge payloads can be encrypted on device before they are sent to the server. Key features: Realtime Codex task status and logs Chat history with thread continuity Project file browser and diff viewer Local network or cloud desktop connection modes Account-based sync for projects and access RatNest is built for developers who want fast mobile control of their desktop coding session.

Code Workspace is a free, agent-first development environment for iPad and iPhone. Explore projects, edit and run code, manage Git and connect to remote development tools from one focused workspace. No account, no subscription and no in-app purchases. AN AI AGENT INSIDE YOUR PROJECT Work with a coding agent that understands your project. Mention files with @, use /explain, /fix, /tests and /review, attach screenshots or photos, and follow its progress, even from the Lock Screen with a Live Activity on iPhone. You remain in control. Review sensitive actions before they run, inspect proposed changes line by line and choose the AI provider you want with your own key: Claude, GPT, Gemini and other compatible services. Keys are stored in Keychain. RUN AND FORMAT ON DEVICE Run Python 3.14 and JavaScript files offline with ⌘R and read their output in the terminal. Format JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, CSS, HTML and Markdown with Prettier, and preview HTML, CSS and JavaScript offline. A WORKSPACE FOR REAL PROJECTS Create a project, clone a repository, or import folders, ZIP archives and files from Files, iCloud Drive or other apps. Edit with Tree-sitter syntax highlighting in 13 themes that can follow Light and Dark mode, split the editor to see two files side by side, and use optional Vim keybindings. BUILT FOR IPAD Use the iPadOS menu bar and keyboard shortcuts, multiple windows, resizable panels, trackpad hover effects, Split View and Stage Manager. GIT, WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR CODE • Review changed files and visual diffs. • Stage, commit, branch, stash, merge, rebase and cherry-pick. • Resolve conflicts visually and see per-line blame. • Draft commit messages with Apple Intelligence (iOS and iPadOS 26 or later). • Connect GitHub, GitLab or your own Git server, and review pull and merge requests. SSH, SFTP AND A PERSISTENT TERMINAL Use interactive terminal sessions for shells, REPLs, Vim and long-running processes. Create SSH profiles, authenticate with passwords or Ed25519/RSA keys and access remote files through SFTP. PROFESSIONAL LANGUAGE TOOLING Connect language servers on your development host for completion, diagnostics, definitions, references, code actions and rename. Debug with DAP breakpoints, stepping, call stacks and variables. Works with Swift, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Dart, Go, Rust, HTML, CSS and Markdown. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold iPhone Duo for the full multi-panel workspace on the inner display; fold it to keep working in the compact one-handed layout. LOCAL FIRST, CONNECTED WHEN YOU CHOOSE Files stay on your device unless you choose a Git remote, SSH server, AI provider or iCloud backup. By DVX Labs
