ZeroSpin
File manager with columns
Free
Your computers' files on your iPad, iPhone and Mac. Open a script, press Play, and it runs there — in the conda or venv environment you choose.
ZeroSpin is a file manager for iPad with the layout you already know from the
desktop: columns, list or icons, a sidebar with your locations, and independent
windows.
BROWSING
· Column, list and icon views, with adjustable width.
· A sidebar holding your folders, your clouds and your external drives.
· Sort by name, size, date or kind.
· Search within the folder you have open.
OPENING AND EDITING
· A code editor with line numbers, syntax highlighting and a monospaced
typeface, for scripts and configuration files. Saves in place.
· Jupyter notebooks with their cells, their Markdown and their output — and now
editable cell by cell, keeping the plots and the results.
· Draw on an image and save the result.
· Preview for documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
· Every file opens in its own window, not in a tab trapped inside the main one.
ORGANISING
· Copy, move, duplicate, rename, compress and unzip.
· A trash you can restore from: deleted items go back where they came from.
· Drag and drop both ways, with any other app on the iPad.
RUN IT ON YOUR COMPUTER
The iPad cannot run a notebook or a script: there is no interpreter and no
just-in-time compilation. Your computer can.
With BosonCode installed — the app by the same developer that connects the iPad
to your machines — ZeroSpin adds "Run in BosonCode" to any .ipynb, .py, .sh or
.jl. You pick which machine, the file goes up and opens there, with its GPU and
its interpreters. ZeroSpin sees the machines you have already added, so nothing
is configured twice.
Without BosonCode, ZeroSpin works the same for everything else.
YOUR COMPUTERS, INSIDE ZEROSPIN
Install the project's free and open-source script on your own Linux or Mac, add
that computer in the app, and its folders sit next to yours.
· Browse its files in columns, the same as the ones on your tablet.
· Open and edit them; saving sends them back to the machine.
· A terminal on any folder, in its own window.
· Drag files between the tablet and the computer, both ways.
It all travels over your private Tailscale network: your computer is never
exposed to the internet, and there are no servers in between.
The script is free. There is nothing to buy to use any of this.
WHAT BOSONCODE ADDS
Your tablet cannot run a notebook or a script — no interpreter, no
just-in-time compilation. Your computer can.
BosonCode, by the same developer, opens any file in the full code editor on
your machine: syntax highlighting, extensions, and Jupyter notebooks that
actually run, with its GPU and its interpreters. It uses the same computers you
already added here, so nothing is configured twice.
Without it, everything above still works.
NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING
No sign-up, no analytics, no th your folders is
requested one at a time through the system picker, and ZeroSpin never enumerates
files you have not granted.

What's New
Run your scripts on your computer, not on the tablet.
• Run: open a script and press Play. ZeroSpin lists the interpreters that
really exist on that computer — the project's .venv, every conda
environment, pyenv, the system Python, plus Julia, R, Node, Ruby and shell —
you pick one, and it runs in a terminal in the script's own folder.
• Themes: Classic, Console and Holo, in light and dark, from Settings › Theme.
Terminals follow the theme.
• The code editor now lives inside ZeroSpin: syntax, extensions and Jupyter
notebooks that run on your machine. It unlocks with a one-time purchase;
files, computers and terminals stay free.
• A floating button in the editor and in every terminal: Tab, text size,
search, and a menu with the rest. Drag it wherever you like.
• Keyboard, like the Finder: arrows move through the column, → enters a
folder, ← goes back, ⌘-click, ⇧-click and ⌘A select.
• Right-click the empty space or the header of any column for New Folder,
New File, Paste and Open Terminal Here.
• Mac: open a terminal in any of your own folders, drag to select several
files, resizable columns, and double-click opens files in their usual app.
• iPhone: the editor no longer reloads every time you come back to it.
