NuEdit — Fast Multi-Tab Text & Code Viewer/Editor NuEdit is a lightweight, multi-tab text and code viewer/editor built for iPhone.

Key Features Line-Numbered Code View TextKit-based rendering displays accurate line numbers that stay correct regardless of line wrapping.

Encoding & Line-Ending Conversion Switch between UTF-8, UTF-16 (LE/BE), Shift_JIS, EUC-JP, ISO-2022-JP, and MacRoman, as well as LF, CRLF, and CR line endings. Files can also be reloaded using the selected encoding. Large File Support Files over roughly 3MB are loaded asynchronously in chunks and streamed in based on scroll position (view-only). Syntax Highlighting Lightweight highlighting for Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, Java, Kotlin, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Shell, HTML, and Markdown. Handy Navigation Jump to the beginning or end of a file, get prompted to save unsaved changes, and dismiss the keyboard with a tap. File Handling New files are created instantly as Untitled*.txt. The first save lets you choose a location via the Files app; subsequent saves overwrite the same location.
