## Description

Now at home on iPhone: the editor, Stop and Git all fit the small screen. Plus self-hosted Forgejo, a safer clone, and a code toolbar that types the brackets for you.

Love2D Launcher runs real LÖVE 2D projects on iPhone and iPad. Import your Lua game from the Files app or clone it from Git, edit it in a proper code editor, and ask an AI assistant about it — one that runs on your device, with the network off.

REAL LÖVE 2D, NOT AN EMULATION
The LÖVE 11.x engine, compiled natively for iOS. Physics, audio, graphics, shaders, fonts — what you wrote on desktop runs here, and when it doesn't you get the full Lua stack trace instead of a shrug.

AN AI ASSISTANT THAT NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE
Ask about your own code and get answers from a model running locally through Apple MLX. On a plane, on the subway, with Wi-Fi off — it still answers. No account, no subscription, no token counter, nothing uploaded and nothing logged. Pick from a curated catalog of MLX models sized for your device, or import your own. Free to try for three days.

A LUA EDITOR THAT KEEPS UP
Syntax highlighting, LÖVE API autocomplete, real-time syntax checking through the Lua C API, multiple tabs, find and replace across the whole project, and a code toolbar that puts brackets and indentation a tap away. Five editor themes, light and dark.

GIT, WHEREVER YOUR CODE LIVES
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, and any self-hosted Forgejo instance. Clone, switch branch, pull, commit and push without leaving the app. Access tokens stay in the Keychain and never leave your device.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO SHIP
• Full Lua stack traces, with the failing line marked in the editor
• Console output from print() while the game is running
• Record your gameplay and share the clip
• Export any project as a ZIP
• Import from Files, iCloud Drive, or any document provider
• iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape

WHAT'S FREE
Importing and running your projects is free, with no limits and no ads. The editor, Git and the AI assistant are one-off purchases — take only the one you need, or the bundle. The editor and the AI assistant are free to try for three days.

LÖVE 2D is an open-source framework (love2d.org). Love2D Launcher is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by the LÖVE Development Team.
