VCode - a pocket IDE for web

About this app

💻 VCode — The IDE That Fits in Your Pocket

VCode is not another code editor. It is a full, desktop-grade Integrated Development Environment built from the ground up for Android — designed for web developers who refuse to compromise just because they are on a phone.

Most mobile code editors are glorified text editors with a color theme. VCode is fundamentally different. Every single component — the editor engine, the syntax highlighter, the autocomplete system, the Git integration — was built from scratch for Android, with performance and precision as the top priority. No web-based editor wrapped in an app shell. No ported desktop library. No shortcuts. No half-measures. And it is completely open source.

WHY VCODE IS DIFFERENT

✦ A custom-built native editor engine with viewport culling and incremental highlighting — stays smooth even on files with thousands of lines.
✦ Context-aware intelligence — autocomplete that actually understands your file. CSS inside `style` tags, JavaScript inside `script` blocks, and project-wide variable and function discovery.
✦ Git as a first-class citizen — stage, commit, branch, merge, push, stash, and diff natively without plugins or workarounds.
✦ GitHub deeply integrated — create repositories, push, pull, fetch, and manage remotes without ever leaving the app.
✦ Open source and transparent — read the code, contribute, or build it yourself at github.com/cocodestudio/VCode.

⚡ THE EDITOR

✦ Syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, Markdown, and SVG — rendered in JetBrains Mono.
✦ Real-time diagnostics with squiggly underlines drawn at exact token positions. Red for errors, yellow for warnings, blue for hints.
✦ Built-in Emmet expansion — type "ul>li*3" or "!" and expand into full code instantly.
✦ One-tap code formatting for HTML, CSS, JS, and JSON — your cursor position is always preserved.
✦ Find & Replace with case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and full regex support.
✦ Go to Line, smart auto-indentation, auto-closing brackets, and full undo/redo history.

👁️ LIVE PREVIEW

✦ Run your active HTML file in a built-in WebView with a single tap. No setup, no waiting.
✦ View live JavaScript console logs to debug your code directly inside the app.
✦ Open in your default browser anytime for a full-screen test on a real engine.
✦ Markdown files render as rich, formatted documents. SVG, CSV, and images open in their visual representation — no extra steps needed.

🌿 GIT & GITHUB

✦ Full Git workflow — initialize, stage, unstage, commit, branch, merge, stash, reset, push, and pull.
✦ Visual Diff Viewer — review exactly what changed in every file before you commit.
✦ Commit History — a clean, scrollable timeline of your entire project story.
✦ Branch Manager and Stash Manager with one-tap actions.
✦ Conflict Resolution UI — accept ours, accept theirs, or abort a merge from a dedicated screen.
✦ Clone any public or private repository in the background with live progress. The UI never freezes.

📁 FILE MANAGEMENT

✦ Animated file tree with long-press context menu for instant actions on any file or folder.
✦ Cut, Copy, and Paste files and entire folder trees across your project. Cut items dim — just like on a desktop OS.
✦ Import files and folders from device storage with background progress notifications.
✦ Start new projects from templates — Blank, HTML, or full HTML + CSS + JS — with optional Git initialization.
✦ Snippet Manager — save your most-used code blocks and insert them anywhere with one tap.
