About this app

Lua IDE turns your phone or tablet into a real Lua development environment with a genuine Linux terminal — write, run, and debug Lua code anywhere, no desktop required. Built for scripters, game developers, and students who need real tools, not toy simulators.

REAL LINUX TERMINAL
A real, full Linux command line. Run lua, luarocks, and any Linux command directly, install packages, and manage multiple terminal tabs with quick-key bars for symbols that are hard to type on mobile keyboards.

PROPER LUA TOOLCHAIN
Full LuaRocks package management, set up automatically when you create a project, with full LSP (Language Server Protocol) support powering intelligent code completion, live error checking, jump-to-definition, find references, safe rename refactoring, and signature help you'd expect from a desktop IDE.

POWERFUL CODE EDITOR
Fast, accurate syntax highlighting for Lua and 15+ other languages. Includes find & replace, go-to-line, fuzzy quick file search, a built-in hex viewer, a clean diff viewer, and 10 bundled programmer fonts including Hack Nerd Font, JetBrains Mono, and dyslexia-friendly options.

BUILD ANY PROJECT, ANY LANGUAGE
Create new projects from ready-made templates that set up the right tools automatically — projects stay 100% standard and usable outside the app. Beyond Lua, Lua IDE also supports:
• Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Rust (Axum, Actix, Rocket), Go (Gin, Fiber, Echo), C/C++ (CMake)
• JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Astro, Express)
• PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Ruby (Rails, Sinatra), Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus), Kotlin (Ktor)
• Swift, Bash, Perl, R, Zig, Lisp, Fortran, Dart

RUN & PREVIEW LIVE
Run your scripts straight from the toolbar, with terminal output streamed live. For web projects, your app opens automatically in a built-in browser preview without leaving the IDE.

BUILT-IN BROWSER INSPECTOR
For web projects, inspect running apps like a desktop browser: view page elements, styles, debug scripts, monitor network requests, check storage, and audit accessibility — all in one place.

FULL GIT CLIENT
Stage and commit changes, create/checkout/merge/rebase branches, manage stashes, browse commit history, resolve merge conflicts with a visual diff resolver, and manage remotes. Connect securely to GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea/Forgejo, and clone any repo in one tap.

SMART FILE MANAGER
Browse, create, rename, move, compress, and share files and folders through an intuitive, fast file tree built for touchscreens.

SPLIT-SCREEN, MULTI-TAB LAYOUT
Arrange code, terminal, and preview side by side with split-screen panes and a flexible tab system built for both phones and larger screens.

PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
Project-wide search & replace with regex support, a fast command palette for quick actions, and a reusable code snippets manager with per-language snippet bars.

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
~20 built-in app themes (VSCode, Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, JetBrains, and more), terminal color schemes, and custom coding fonts. A one-tap Reset Environment restores a clean workspace whenever you need a fresh start.

SECURE BY DESIGN
Credentials and tokens are protected with encrypted storage, keeping your GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea logins safe on-device.

WHO IS LUA IDE FOR?
• Game developers scripting with Lua
• Students learning Lua as a first or embedded language
• Anyone who needs luarocks and a real Linux shell on the go
• Multi-language developers who also touch Python, C/C++, or web stacks

Code anywhere. Debug everything. Lua IDE.

Data safety

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
