Open real projects, make changes, run local code, and manage repositories from your device. AI THAT WORKS YOUR WAY • Give cloud Agent Mode a goal: it explores your project, edits a private draft, runs your project's checks on the device and presents a multi-file patch for review—requires Deskless Pro and your own provider API key • Resume saved agent tasks, optionally on their own Git branch; when iOS allows it, a task you start keeps working after you switch apps • Follow agent progress through Live Activities and Dynamic Island • Use free on-device Apple Intelligence for quick coding help on supported devices—no API key required • Try the beta Offline Agent for reviewed, locally checked project edits on supported devices with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded • With Pro, connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI or OpenRouter using your own key • Provider access and usage charges apply EDIT AND NAVIGATE • Syntax highlighting for 57 languages, language detection and custom file associations • EditorConfig indentation, language-aware comments, code folding and multiple cursors • Inline completions, diagnostics and a Problems list for supported languages • Go to Definition, Find References, Rename, Show Documentation and Quick Fix • Quick Open, command palette, keyboard shortcuts and reorderable tabs • In-file and project-wide find and replace, including unsaved drafts • Quick Look, drag-and-drop import, draft recovery and optional autosave LOCAL PROJECT TOOLS • Run and test supported JavaScript, TypeScript and Python projects on your device • Inspect console output, navigate symbols and review proposed code changes • Preview captured HTML projects with local assets and adjustable viewports • Debug Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, including async code • Install pure npm packages and Python wheels for offline use, and run SQL scripts with SQLite • No provider key or companion computer needed; a bounded runtime, not a general Node or system shell GIT AND REMOTE WORK • Free: clone over HTTPS or SSH; stage, commit, resolve conflicts, pull, push and sync; view diffs • Pro: branches, stashes, blame, file history and commit details; tags and rebases • Pro: pull and merge requests on GitHub, GitLab and Forgejo/Gitea—CI checks and logs, local checkout, inline review and suggested changes, approval and merge • Pro: start work from an issue, or hand a failing check to Agent Mode • Connect to your own machines with an interactive SSH terminal • Import or generate SSH keys and verify host fingerprints before connecting • Keep credentials protected in the system Keychain DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • Open local or external folders; access your Deskless workspace and cloned repositories in Files • Choose Split Editor or Editor + Tools layouts and fold-aware options for iPhone Duo • Native controls, accessibility support and layouts that adapt to available space • Scroll-minimizing editor toolbars on iOS 27 and a Control Center scratchpad action • Continued iOS 26 support START FREE.

What’s new
Version 3.0.1 · Updated November 2, 2026
Deskless 3.0.1 makes fold-aware layouts free. • On iPhone Duo and other foldables, unfolding now opens a second pane for everyone, and closing returns to one editor. On the free plan the second pane shows your current file; Deskless Pro lets it show another file or Project Tools. • Automatic layouts now stay automatic after you relaunch the app. • The Deskless Pro list now shows everything Pro includes. Thanks to the open-source projects behind Deskless, including Runestone, SwiftTerm, libgit2 and Pyodide, and to everyone coding with Deskless!
