It offers features like syntax highlighting, code completion, Git integration, and AI assistance for code analysis and refactoring. Local code execution works offline, enabling learning and development anywhere.
- Run C, C++, Python, JavaScript, and more
- Syntax highlighting and code folding
- Git integration for version control
- AI-powered code suggestions and refactoring
- Offline code execution
- Project folder management
- HTML/CSS preview

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.

MyCode 是一个纯客户端的 AI 编程助手。它不连接任何我们自建的服务器——你用自己的大模型 API Key(DeepSeek、Kimi、通义千问、智谱、豆包、混元、文心等国内主流厂商,或任何兼容通用接口的服务商)直连模型聊天;需要真正动代码时,它通过 SSH 或 MCP 在你自己的机器上执行。 聊天模式 • 自带 Key 直连你配置的大模型,流式回复 • 发送图片与文件,随手提问 • 中文语音输入(端上识别,音频不离开设备) • 多会话历史、置顶,按会话自定义系统提示词与参数 • 一键把对话导出为 Markdown 代码模式(手机上的编程 Agent) • 让模型在你自己的机器上跑命令、读写文件、操作 Git 仓库 • 两种执行落点,任选其一或并用: – SSH 直连(推荐 · 最简单):机器本就开着 SSH 即可,免装任何服务 – MCP 服务器(进阶):连接你机器上运行的开源 MCP 工具 • 支持 GitHub 与 Gitee 仓库 • 写文件 / 跑命令 / 推送等高风险操作默认弹窗确认;删除、强制推送等不可逆操作始终需确认(无法关闭) 技能(提示词技能包) • 内置技能市场,在线浏览并一键安装开源技能 • 也可粘贴 Git 地址安装,或用「用 MyCode 打开」导入本地 .md • 技能本质是提示词:启用后注入系统提示,让模型按该领域的方式工作 隐私与安全 • 纯客户端、无自建服务端:我们不接收、不留存你的任何内容 • 你的消息 / 图片 / 文件直接发往你自己配置的模型 Provider • API Key 与各类凭据只存于本机钥匙串(Keychain) • 全程 HTTPS;语音为端上识别;无广告、无追踪、无分析 SDK • SSH 采用首次连接指纹固定(TOFU),主机指纹变更即拒绝连接 使用前提(请先准备) • 一个你自己的大模型 API Key(如 DeepSeek / Kimi / 通义 / 智谱;按用量由对应平台计费,与本 App 无关) • 若要用代码模式:一台你能访问、开着 SSH 的机器,或一个可达的 MCP 服务器(局域网 / Tailscale 等内网穿透 / 公网均可) MyCode 适合想把 AI 编程随身带走的开发者:通勤、沙发、床上,用手机指挥 AI 在你的开发机上把活干了。
