Project View

Open the app and find your projects waiting to be worked on. There are no superfluous graphics or animations. Just you and your code.






Configure Your Editor

Configure the editor the way that best meets your workflow. The options available include auto-indent, expand tab, tab width, line numbers, line wrapping and the key used to toggle between command and insert mode (The default key is the tick (`) key).






Start Coding

With built-in syntax highlighting, bluetooth keyboard support, support for many mono-spaced fonts and an optional vim command mode you can start coding confidently anywhere, any time. (Portrait and Landscape is supported)






Search & Replace

Search for any text in the buffer while in Search mode or Vim mode. Highlight all found searches. Replace a searched pattern with something different (Search mode only)

Features

Syntax Highlighting

No more compromises. Code is meant to be highlighted.

Dropbox Integration

Code on the go and collaborate with others using Dropbox.




Editor Settings

Configure the editor to display line numbers, auto-indent, define tab spacing, expand tab, line numbers, line wrapping, font and font size, syntax theme and the key to toggle between insert and command mode. There also many mono-space fonts to choose from.

Export Options

E-mail your documents to anyone. Copy specific text within the buffer (or the entire buffer with a menu option) and paste it into another application. Export nearly every type of source file using the Open In feature. This will allow you to upload your files with your favorite FTP, SFTP, SVN program. (Note: The external app must implement the UIDocumentInteractionController. E-mail the developer of your app to determine if they support this feature.)




Search & Replace

Search for text, highlight all matches, and replace matches with something else.

Vim Mode

Modify the buffer in Vim mode. Chain commands together (Ex: 3dw 'delete 3 words'). Code faster.




Bluetooth Keyboard Support

Buffer now supports all basic command options that iOS supports. Hook up a keyboard and start coding more effeciently!

Preview Files

Preview files such as images, movies, PDFs and Microsoft Office documents with iOS's built-in viewer app.

Testimonials

Here's what our customers think about us.



This is a very promising Vim editor for iOS. The features that are implemented currently work well and it is clear that the developer is interested in expanding functionality quickly. The developer has been very responsive to my suggestions and continues to add features.
by Green Carot
This is a wonderful app. I have it on both my iPad3 and iPhone 4S. I use it all the time even though the Vim editor is not my preference. It also happens to be what I consider to be the only code editing app that is useful on the iPhone. When I had a question the developer himself was immediately back to me with an answer. A great product with great support at a fair price. What else could a programmer hope for?
