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

  • Useful for website themes

    I’m a hack (not “-er”) and this app allows me to edit code for stuff like website themes. Even tho I don’t know anything, I can read existing code and figure it out to some degree. Look up definitions if needed. Then I find cover, and.. run it.. I’m still here, so the app’s working pretty well.
  • Does not support XML

    HTML and Markdown are supported, XML seems like an obvious addition. I was able to find what I wanted in one case by treating the file as HTML. Seems like an easy to use app. I’d happily pay the premium if it handled XML.
  • Good editor

    Tried a simple regex. Destroyed my file then crashed so I couldn’t undo.

    I love text editors on my Mac and felt naked without one on iPhone. This app has solved that problem splendidly!
  • Good IDE (for $10)

    Most features are locked behind a paywall. If you're fine paying for it, go ahead! I'm sure you'll love it, otherwise no line count, line select, or colors for you. also you won't be able to disable text wrapping :/ it's still better than writing code in notepad though, you have buttons above the keyboard for a few keys and you can hold them down for more Overall, just use Koder
  • I am very impressed.

    Despite being so feature-rich, it’s so simple in all of the right ways.
  • Not enough

    I can never find this damn app when I search of it, like ever! It’s a cool app it just needs a better keyword I think, here is was Brave Browser Leo said “Ha, fair point! "Runestone" is definitely an unusual choice for a text editor app — not exactly intuitive when you're searching for something to edit plain text files. At least you found it though!” It’s a great app though
  • Line height setting

    Hello I just bought the premium because I liked the line height option but was hoping you would be able to decrease it from 1.0 instead of only being able to increase it. I’m a data nerd and the more information I can fit onto my screen the better I’m sure you guys get it. I also with I could have multiple files open in tabs like how Kodex does it
