Godot Planner is a fast, native scene editor for the Godot Engine's .tscn files — built for iPhone and iPad. Plan your game's architecture, sketch out UI layouts, and make quick edits to scene files anywhere, without opening the desktop editor. Open any .tscn scene from Files or iCloud Drive and work with its node tree directly on your device. Whether you're brainstorming a new scene on the go, organizing a complex hierarchy at a game jam, or tweaking a layout away from your computer, Godot Planner keeps you moving. KEY FEATURES • Visual scene tree — browse the full node hierarchy with expandable parent/child disclosure. • Add nodes — search the complete catalog of Godot node types and insert them anywhere in the tree. • Edit freely — rename, delete, and duplicate nodes, with automatic name-collision handling. • Drag to reparent — move nodes between parents with simple drag and drop. • Full undo/redo — every change is reversible. • Built-in node reference — inspect any node type's properties, methods, signals, constants, and enums, with links to the official documentation. • Node details — see each node's type, icon, hierarchy path, child count, and class inheritance chain. • Raw scene preview — view the exact .tscn text that will be written, with copy, share, and paste. • Round-trip safe — unknown or advanced scene content is preserved exactly when you save. • Files integration — open, edit, and save scenes through the Files app and document browser. Godot Planner is built for game developers, UI designers, and hobbyists who want to think through scene structure on the go — and for anyone curious how Godot scenes are put together. Made with SwiftUI for a clean, fast, native iOS experience. — Godot Planner is an unofficial, community-built tool.

Turn ideas into working code on iPad and iPhone. Pad Code AI brings an editor, local code runners, a terminal and project tools into one workspace. WRITE AND RUN Run C, C++, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, PHP, Lua and SQLite queries on your device with bundled compilers and interpreters. Use interactive input, command-line arguments and project files. Preview HTML and CSS projects. Language and library support depends on the included runtime. EDIT AND ORGANIZE Work with syntax highlighting, find in files, individual-file replacement, code folding and snippets. Open project folders through Files, manage multiple files, review Git changes, commit and push, and export projects as ZIP. SMARTER EDITING AND GIT SYNC Code completion suggests keywords, types and names from your file as you type, and works with VoiceOver. Pull changes from GitHub: edits made on both sides are merged line by line, and overlapping lines are marked for you to choose. Your projects also appear in the Files app. AI, WHEN YOU WANT IT Ask for explanations, refactoring ideas, tests or fixes. Review suggested changes before applying them. On-device AI requires a compatible system and device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Optional third-party AI requires your own credentials and an internet connection; availability varies by region. You choose what context to share. LEARN AND BUILD ANYWHERE Practice programming, try small scripts and develop project ideas. Local code execution works offline; Git network operations and remote AI require internet access. The interface is available in 20 languages. Support: https://phamhungtien.com/PadCodeAI PREVIEW SUPPORT Preview HTML, CSS and browser JavaScript with WebKit. Swift/SwiftUI, Metal and native OpenGL visual previews are not supported. Swift and other unsupported languages are editing-only. WORKSPACE AGENT With a compatible configured provider, the optional Workspace Agent can inspect code, create and edit text files, rename or delete files, and run supported code inside the project you open. Agent Changes shows saved changes, before/after diffs and Undo. The app checks for intervening edits before writing or restoring. You explicitly enable access and choose what context to share. Provider credentials are your own; multi-step requests may incur additional provider charges. This is a bounded project workflow, not an unrestricted system shell or package installer. New editor color themes and a refined interface. Git over HTTPS now supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and compatible servers, using standard repositories with branches, commits, stash, push and pull. Python can import compatible packages, including NumPy and pandas. Package downloads require internet; not every PyPI package is supported. Programs using only the bundled standard library can run offline. Improved language icons and links to video guides. Start faster with ready-to-run Python, web, C and JavaScript project templates.
