About DevBox: Code Editor & IDE
DevBox is a code editor and IDE that runs PHP, Python, Node.js and Go on your phone or tablet, with a local web server, a MySQL database and a Linux terminal. No laptop and no remote server. Open a project, tap Run, and your site opens in the built-in browser at localhost. Change a file, refresh, and see the result. Write code, run it, and preview it: a full web development IDE on the device. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • PHP sites on PHP 8.5 with .htaccess support, or a Laravel app with Composer • A Node.js server or API, or a React, Vue, Angular or Svelte app with npm install and npm run dev • Python scripts and web apps, with libraries from pip • Go programs and web servers • HTML, CSS and JavaScript websites with live preview • Apps backed by a MySQL database, managed with phpMyAdmin CODE EDITOR • Syntax highlighting for PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, HTML, CSS and more • Find and replace, go to line, code formatting and tabs for open files • A key row above the keyboard for brackets, quotes and symbols LOCAL WEB SERVER AND PREVIEW • PHP, Node.js, Python and Go dev servers on localhost, with output and request logs • Built-in browser with Eruda DevTools to inspect your pages LINUX TERMINAL • A real Linux terminal (Alpine) with command history and scrollback • npm, pip, composer, go and git, plus more tools and compilers from apk MYSQL AND PHPMYADMIN • A MariaDB server on the device that works with any MySQL library • Create databases and users, run SQL, import and export dumps in phpMyAdmin GIT • Clone, commit, branch, push and pull over HTTPS or SSH • GitHub, GitLab or your own server; search GitHub and import a repo as a new project MORE • Open projects from local storage, FTP or SSH, and iCloud Drive on iPhone and iPad • Start a project from a template, an empty folder or an AI prompt • AI tools to improve, refactor or comment your code • Offline docs for PHP, Node.js, Python and Go Pick a language, write your code in the code editor, and tap Run to start coding with an IDE that fits in your pocket.
