Features & Capabilities

Kodex is an advanced code editor designed for iPad and iPhone, bringing desktop-class editing features to mobile devices. It supports multi-caret editing, regex search/replace with templates, a minimap for quick navigation, and syntax highlighting for 150+ languages. It also offers multiple windows, trackpad gestures to add cursors, and seamless integration with the Files app.

In addition, Kodex provides HTML auto-complete, customizable key bindings, themes and fonts, configurable tab sizes, visible-character hints, and the ability to preserve open documents between launches. It is optimized for external keyboards and light/dark modes, and is not a compiler; think of it as a Sublime/Notepad++-style editor for mobile devices.

User Reviews

Codex is a powerful, beloved code editor for iOS/iPadOS, praised for rich syntax highlighting and strong Files app integration. Users value its long history and ability to handle real coding tasks with features like QuickEdit and wide file-system access. However, reviews converge on major downsides: frequent crashes and instability, especially when opening or saving files; indications that the app is abandoned or unmaintained with no updates for years; compatibility issues on iOS/iPadOS 17; missing essential features (word wrap toggle, redo, find/replace); and some UI quirks that complicate keyboard workflows. Overall, excellent when it works, but risky to rely on.

Pros

Powerful, feature-rich code editor with extensive syntax highlighting.
Excellent on iOS/iPadOS; regarded as one of the best editors when it works.
Strong iPadOS integration: works from the Files app, QuickEdit mode, and broad file-system access.
Supports keyboard-focused workflows (line numbers and coding-oriented UI).
Long-standing, trusted editor with a decade of use.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, including crashes when opening, creating, or saving files.
App appears abandoned or unmaintained, with no updates for years.
Compatibility issues on iOS/iPadOS 17 (crashes or failing to open files).
Missing essential editing features (word wrap toggle, redo, find/replace).
UI/UX quirks such as a floating line-number indicator when using a keyboard accessory.

This is the ONLY app out of three dozen I have tested for various types of code editing or note taking that hasn’t shoved a billion ads in my face. And it has the features I want and is a great, simple, minimalist code editor. I love it guys and please keep up the great work!
