Remotext

Remotext

Runestone-grade editing, everywhere, on both mobile platforms.

Remotext holds the native editing fidelity bar on both iOS and Android, then adds the remote-file and terminal workflow that local-only editors refuse to have.

An instrument, not a page

Your workspaces sit on the Deck — a bottom strip whose cells FILE · CHNG · SRCH · TERM · INFO raise into panels — while the Rail on the thumb edge holds the current panel’s actions. Two working edges you hold; no icon strip, no floating buttons.

Editing that feels native

CoreText/Canvas rendering, correct IME and selection handles, buttery scrolling on both iOS and Android — no web views, ever.

Tree-sitter highlighting

Accurate syntax highlighting across 45 bundled languages, with language injections for Markdown fences and embedded HTML.

Remote files over SFTP

Browse, open, edit and save over SFTP — verified against OpenSSH, Dropbear and Windows OpenSSH. WebDAV, FTP and Dropbox can browse today; editing over them is in progress.

SSH terminal

A real terminal with a theme-derived ANSI palette, right next to your editor.

Real VS Code themes

Import VS Code theme JSON directly, or pick from the bundled set. No lookalike engine — real scope resolution.

Large files, safely

50MB+ files open with a progressive, degraded-mode path that never corrupts encoding or line endings.

Find, replace, find in files

Literal and regex search in the open file or across a whole folder, with a tree-sitter symbol outline on iOS.

Privacy by construction

No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no crash reports, no server of ours in the loop.
