Description

A plain text editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, search and replace, page guide, and much more. It's like TextEdit but more powerful and optimised for iPhone and iPad. Runestone is made by a single person with a love for text editors and a vision of building the most lightweight text editor for iPhone and iPad that still has the core features for editing code. Features: - Syntax highlighting of many languages including HTML, JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, Swift, Python, PHP, YAML, and many more. - Select one of the twelve standard themes including popular themes like Tomorrow, Dracula, Solarized, and One Dark Pro. - Innovative find and replace for searching and modifying text while still viewing your file. - Choose font and font size, including support for custom fonts imported using another third-party app. - Show the line and column the cursor is located on. - Uses the standard document browser for an experience similar to the Files app. - Quickly navigate to a specific line. - Automatically close opening brackets and quotes. - Multiple windows on the iPad. - Format code using Prettier.js. Supported languages include CSS,HTML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP and more. - Choose text encoding between popular encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO Latin 1, and many more. - Enable or disable autocorrection, autocapitalization, and smart punctuation. - Set default file extension of new files. - Open files in Runestone from the Share Sheet. - Print documents. Premium features: - Choose between eight app icons. - Show line numbers. - Highlight the selected line. - Increase line height and letter spacing. - Disable line wrapping to allow horizontal scrolling. - Show tabs, spaces, and line breaks using a selected symbol. - Enable page guide at a specific column to easily tell when lines are getting too long. - Add vertical and horizontal overscroll. - Remember the selected language per file. - Save file extensions and filenames that should always be treated as plain text files. - Enable soft tabs and choose the width of the tab character. - Specify whether pressing the tab key should insert a tab or indent the line. - Adjust the scaling of Markdown headings and disable highlighting of code blocks in Markdown. Runestone was built on the open-source framework with the same name. Find more information on the Runestone framework at github.com/simonbs/runestone

    This thing is powerful! And even does .yaml! And has a ctrl+F replace function? Dope. That was a nice bonus feature. Been wanting that on iPhone for a bit. Thanks again
  • Ridiculous…

    Why do I have to pay for premium for line numbers when that should be standard in a coding program?? Absolutely absurd!
  • Great text editor. Amazing functionality.

    There are many text editors on the App Store, but I reccomend this one the most for iPad users. It is simplistic, and is able to write and support in all documents. The premium is not needed to run the app, but rather to make tasks easier. Using this app to create text files and code has never been simpler on the IPads, and if you’re looking for a mobile text editor, this is the best option.
  • What a pile of garbage

    Any app is better than this. You could write and code better in Messages. The nearly 5 stars must be a fraud.
  • Does Not Run Code

    Great for writing and editing code but don’t think that you’ll be able to test what you’ve written.
  • Great editor + no subscription!

    I really appreciate Runestone not being a subscription in this day and age. I purchased premium, thank you.
  • Better than Koder

    Hey developer! I had primarily gotten interested in this app because it supports and can edit JSON files. This app allows me to view JSON files that one of my counter apps use to make backups of my counter data. I can edit counter data within the JSON backup if need be with this app. But not only that it also supports other formats: markdown, .txt, Swift, Python, C++, LUA, and so on. It does what I need and so much more. I have already paid for premium features, so I’m happy to support you for the hard work you have put into this app. It’s on my phone to stay. Thank you, Runestone!

    Excellent ! Pasting can be tricky. A ‘recent’ submenu would be exquisite…
  • Shocking useful
