Code Workspace

Code Workspace is a free, agent-first development environment for iPad and iPhone. Explore projects, edit 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 structure and can use the active file, open file paths and project file index as context. Ask it to inspect, explain, create and edit project files, and follow its progress and tool activity without copying code between apps. You remain in control. Review sensitive actions before they run, inspect proposed changes line by line, keep a conversation history for each project and choose the compatible AI provider you want to use with your own key. Provider credentials are stored securely in Keychain. MULTIPLE AGENTS — BETA Let one lead agent coordinate the task while selected advisor agents inspect project files read-only. Only the lead agent can propose changes, keeping the workflow focused and reviewable. A WORKSPACE FOR REAL PROJECTS Create a project, open an existing folder or clone a repository. Browse the file tree, create, rename, duplicate, move and delete files, search the whole project, and edit with Tree-sitter syntax highlighting in 13 dark and light themes. Font size, tab size, word wrap and auto save follow you across projects, and pinch-to-zoom works in the editor. BUILT FOR IPAD Use the iPadOS menu bar and Magic Keyboard shortcuts for files, tabs, search, Source Control, terminal and agent. Work with trackpad hover effects, resizable panels, Slide Over, Split View and Stage Manager. GIT, WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR CODE • Review changed files and visual diffs. • Stage files one by one or all at once. • Commit, create and switch branches, stash, merge, rebase and cherry-pick. • Resolve conflicts visually and see per-line blame. • Draft commit messages on device 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 multiple 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. Work with Swift, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Dart, Go, Rust, HTML, CSS and Markdown projects, and preview HTML, CSS and JavaScript offline. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold iPhone Duo and Code Workspace becomes the full multi-panel workspace on the 7.6-inch inner display: explorer, editor, agent and terminal side by side. Fold it and keep working in the compact one-handed layout on the outer display, right where you left off. ON IPHONE TOO Agent, Code, Project and Changes stay within easy reach through compact navigation designed for one-handed use. LOCAL FIRST, CONNECTED WHEN YOU CHOOSE Code Workspace does not require a proprietary server for your projects. Files stay on your device unless you choose a Git remote, SSH server, AI provider or iCloud backup. By DVX Labs

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NodeOps at every 4 days against Code Workspace's monthly. Code Workspace's advantage is chart position (#116 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
