Pythona - Python 3 IDE
Offline Python compiler & AI
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Run Python — and large language models, fully on-device — right on your iPhone and iPad. Pythona is a full-featured Python 3.14 IDE that brings real scientific computing, notebooks, and local AI to your device.
Jupyter-style notebooks
Write and run Python in cells, just like Jupyter — charts, tables, images, and math render inline. Open, edit, and save .ipynb files to run data analysis and experiments anywhere.
On-device AI & machine learning
Run large language models entirely on-device with MLX, Apple's ML framework for Apple Silicon — inference runs locally, no API keys required. Try the included local LLM demo to get started in seconds.
Scientific computing, preinstalled
NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, Pandas, Matplotlib, OpenCV and more come precompiled and ready to import.
A local Python environment
- Python 3.14 with popular libraries
- Smart, fast code completion
- Syntax highlighting for many languages (JavaScript, C, Rust, Go, HTML, CSS, Shell, and more)
- Markdown file preview
- Create, save, and organize your scripts, and install more pure-Python packages via the built-in package manager
Whether you're prototyping ML ideas, running data analysis, or learning Python on the go, Pythona puts a genuinely capable Python environment in your pocket.
more It’s frustrating how the top results for an iPhone python editor are just adware subscriptionware slop. This app lets you run stuff off your iPhone freely (although I mainly just use my of and send it here to run while I use my pc for other things) without any kind of ads or subscription locked bs. No complaints. Good job devs!
