Deskless
Code anywhere no desk required
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Native by design. Updated for iOS 27.
Deskless is a code editor, Git client, and AI coding assistant built for iPhone and iPad. Open real projects, make changes, run local code, and manage repositories from your device.
AI THAT WORKS YOUR WAY
• Give cloud Agent Mode a goal, explore your project, and review proposed multi-file patches—requires Deskless Pro and your own provider API key
• Follow agent progress through Live Activities and Dynamic Island
• Use free on-device Apple Intelligence for quick coding help on supported devices—no API key required
• Try the beta Offline Agent for reviewed, locally checked project edits on supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded
• Explain code, improve implementations, add comments, and find bugs
• Read replies as they stream; with Pro, connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI or OpenRouter using your own key
• Choose supported models available to your account; provider access and usage charges apply
EDIT AND NAVIGATE
• Syntax highlighting for 57 languages, language detection and custom file associations
• EditorConfig indentation, language-aware comments, code folding and multiple cursors
• Inline completions, diagnostics and a Problems list for supported languages
• Quick Open, command palette, keyboard shortcuts and reorderable tabs
• In-file and project-wide find and replace, including unsaved drafts
• Quick Look, drag-and-drop file import, unsaved-work recovery and optional autosave
LOCAL PROJECT TOOLS
• Run and test supported JavaScript, TypeScript and Python projects on your device
• Inspect console output, navigate symbols and review proposed code changes
• Preview captured HTML projects with local assets and adjustable viewports
• Debug Python and supported synchronous JavaScript/TypeScript code
• Use bundled tools without a provider key or companion computer; local execution is a bounded runtime, not a general Node or system-shell environment
GIT AND REMOTE WORK
• Clone over HTTPS or SSH; stage, commit, amend, push, pull and sync
• Review diffs, manage branches and stashes, and resolve merge conflicts
• Explore blame, file history and commit details; manage tags and rebases
• View and create pull requests on GitHub and Forgejo/Gitea
• Connect to your own machines with an interactive SSH terminal
• Import or generate SSH keys and verify host fingerprints before connecting
• Keep credentials protected in the system Keychain
DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD
• Open local or external folders; access your Deskless workspace and cloned repositories in Files
• Choose Split Editor or Editor + Tools layouts and fold-aware options for iPhone Duo
• Native controls, accessibility support and layouts that adapt to available space
• Scroll-minimizing editor toolbars on iOS 27 and a Control Center scratchpad action
• Continued iOS 26 support
START FREE. GO PRO WHEN YOU'RE READY.

Deskless 2.1 brings a bigger on-device workspace, richer editing tools, and more consistent workflows across iOS and Android.
• Run and test JavaScript, TypeScript and Python projects on your device. Project Tools brings console output, language tools, web previews and debugging into one place.
• Get inline completions, code diagnostics and a Problems list for supported languages. Review proposed renames, formatting and code fixes before applying them.
• Edit with syntax highlighting for 57 languages, smarter language detection, custom file associations, EditorConfig indentation, language-aware comments, code folding and multiple cursors.
• Jump to files with Quick Open, discover actions in the command palette, and search and replace across a project, including unsaved drafts. Project replacements stay unsaved until you save them.
• Move faster with more keyboard shortcuts, clearer tabs for files with matching names, drag-and-drop import, and a file browser that refreshes when files change outside Deskless.
• Explore Git blame, file history and commit diffs; manage tags and rebases; and view or create pull requests on GitHub and Forgejo/Gitea.
• Connect to your own machines with the new interactive SSH terminal, saved hosts and verified host fingerprints. Generate Ed25519, RSA or ECDSA keys in the app.
• Read AI replies as they stream and choose OpenRouter alongside the existing cloud providers. Try the beta Offline Agent for reviewed, locally checked project edits on supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled.
• Choose Split Editor or Editor + Tools layouts, with fold-aware layout options for iPhone Duo and improved controls across window and text sizes.
• Benefit from fixes for draft recovery, stale search replacements and completions, Windows line endings, undo/redo caret placement, focus after closing Find, keyboard spacing, and terminal keyboard and selection controls.
Project-wide find and replace, advanced Git tools, SSH terminal and expanded workspace layouts require Deskless Pro. Cloud AI requires Pro and your own provider API key; provider access and usage charges apply.
Thanks to the open-source projects behind Deskless, including Runestone and SwiftTerm, and to everyone coding with Deskless!
