Pad Code AI vs ADRs for AI

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.

Your project's decisions — with their reasoning — in your pocket. Review open questions dossier by dossier: Each one arrives with the options considered, a recommendation, the rationale behind it, a stated confidence, and what would change the answer. Accept or Override with one tap — and your answer lands as a real commit in your repository. ADRs4AI is for people who build with AI collaborators and refuse to let the thinking evaporate. The method is simple: Decisions live as plain Markdown records in your repo, questions are first-class and findable, and every recommendation carries its reasoning. This app is the pocket half of that practice — for the questions that accumulate while you're away from your desk. WHAT IT DOES • Sign in with your GitHub token — it stays in your device's Keychain • Import a repository and see its open questions as reviewable dossiers • Read each recommendation with its full reasoning, not just a conclusion • Accept with one tap, or write your own answer — either lands as a commit • Works with any repository using the ADRs4AI record format WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No server of ours — your device talks to GitHub, and nowhere else • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no accounts • No lock-in: Everything is plain Markdown in your repo; delete the app tomorrow and your records are still yours, still readable Part of the ADRs4AI toolkit — a git-native methodology, VS Code extension, and starter template for durable human–AI collaboration.
