Features built for real development
Deskless isn't a toy. It's a full-featured code editor designed for professional developers who need to work on the go.
Code Editor
A proper editor, not a glorified text box.
Syntax Highlighting
Tree-sitter based syntax highlighting for 40+ languages. Accurate token-based highlighting optimized for mobile screens.
Find & Replace
Search within files with match navigation. Find next, find previous, and replace all. (Pro)
Multi-Tab Editing
Work with multiple files open simultaneously. Swipe between tabs or use keyboard shortcuts. (Pro)
Markdown Preview
Live rendered preview for .md files. Write documentation and see it beautifully formatted. (Pro)
Split View
Compare files side by side on iPad. Perfect for reviewing changes or reference documentation.
Git Integration
Everything you need for real Git workflows.
Clone & Push
Clone any repository over HTTPS or SSH. Push changes to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or self-hosted remotes.
Branch Management
Create, switch, merge, and delete branches. Visual branch history helps you understand your repo.
Staging & Commits
Stage individual files or hunks. Write commit messages with a proper editor, not a cramped input box.
Diff Viewer
Side-by-side or inline diffs with syntax highlighting. Review exactly what changed in each commit.
Security & Privacy
Built for security-conscious developers.
No Analytics SDKs
We don't track your behavior, clicks, or code. No Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no creepy trackers.
Local Entitlement Check
Subscription status is verified locally on your device via StoreKit. No server-side dependencies.
Sandboxed Environment
Deskless runs in the secure iOS sandbox. Your files are isolated and protected by the OS.
No Data Collection
We don't collect, store, or sell your personal data. What happens on your device stays on your device.
AI Assistance
Your keys, your models, your privacy.
AI Code Actions
Explain code, get improvement suggestions, add documentation comments, and find potential bugs—all with one tap.
Bring Your Own Keys
Use your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, or other providers. Complete control over costs and privacy.
Code Improvement
AI suggests optimized, cleaner code with the option to replace your selection directly in the editor.
Privacy First
Your code never touches our servers. All AI communication happens directly between your device and the provider.
User Experience
Designed for iOS, not ported from desktop.
Native iOS Design
Built with SwiftUI for a truly native experience. Smooth animations, haptic feedback, and familiar gestures.
External Keyboard
Full keyboard shortcut support. Cmd+S, Cmd+P, Cmd+Shift+F—all the shortcuts you expect, just work.
Offline First
Work without connectivity. All your repos and files are stored locally. Sync when you're back online.
Dark Mode
Beautiful dark theme that's easy on the eyes during late-night coding sessions.
Scratchpad
Your productivity secret weapon. A persisted notepad always available to jot key details, reference notes, and wipe clean when you're ready.
