DraftCode: Code & Text Editor

DraftCode is a private code, text and Markdown editor for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Open local files or folders, start typing immediately and keep your work in standard file formats. One-time purchase: no ads, account, tracking, subscription or in-app purchase.

EDIT CODE AND TEXT
• Syntax highlighting and language detection for 57 languages
• Tabs, split editing, line numbers, minimap, bookmarks and code snippets
• Multi-cursor editing and select next or all matching occurrences
• Auto-indent, bracket pairing, comments and a scrollable code-key toolbar
• Code folding with bracket and HTML/XML tag matching
• Open files and project folders through Apple system pickers

LANGUAGES AND THEMES
• Built-in engines for Swift, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust and more
• Import TextMate grammars, language configuration, syntax themes and file-icon themes
• Enable, disable, replace or remove packs, with a safe return to built-in defaults

SEARCH AND NAVIGATE
• Plain text, escaped and regular-expression search
• Find and replace across a selected project folder
• Command palette, quick open, outline and TODO navigation

FORMAT LOCALLY
• JSON, JSON5, HTML, CSS, SVG, SQL, YAML, TOML and plist
• JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX and TSX format and compress on device
• Full file or selection, with undo, error locations and large-file protection

REMOTE WORKSPACES
• Connect to FTP, explicit FTPS and SFTP servers
• Browse folders, download text files on demand and upload saved changes
• Keep passwords in Keychain, detect server-side conflicts and reconnect automatically

SOURCE CONTROL
• Clone Git repositories over HTTPS or SSH into a folder you choose
• Stage, commit, branch, merge, fetch, pull and push on this device
• Store passwords, tokens and pasted SSH private keys in Keychain; confirm the host fingerprint before saving it. On Mac, authorize local SSH files instead — those private keys are not copied into Keychain

OPTIONAL AI EDITING
• Off by default. Prefers on-device Apple models; otherwise your HTTPS endpoint receives only the current selection when you invoke it
• Failures never change the document

MARKDOWN
• Local preview with tables, task lists, code, Mermaid and math
• Side-by-side editing on supported layouts
• HTML export on Apple platforms and PDF export on Mac

Local documents are never uploaded automatically. Remote transfers go only to a server you explicitly configure. DraftCode does not collect personal data.

SSH TERMINAL
Open an interactive SSH terminal for your server with password or Ed25519 authentication, host-key verification, control keys and window-size synchronization. Commands run only on your remote server. Backgrounding disconnects the session; reconnect starts a new shell without replaying commands.
