Kodo brings code editing, on-device AI, an interactive SSH terminal, remote files, GitHub workflows and data tools into one native workspace.
Download a compatible Qwen model once and use AI assistance without sending source code to a cloud AI service.
This is Kodo's official public documentation, support and issue-tracking repository.
The Kodo application source code is proprietary and is not published here.
- Local-first AI — run compatible Qwen models directly on your device through
llama.cpp. - More than a code editor — SSH, SFTP, GitHub, SQL and web development tools live in the same workspace.
- Designed for iPhone and iPad — Kodo is built around mobile workflows instead of simply copying a desktop IDE interface.
- Privacy-focused — no Kodo account, no cloud AI requirement and no tracking.
- Free to use — Kodo currently has no subscription or paywall.
Kodo is designed for developers who want a useful mobile coding workspace without depending entirely on cloud services.
Edit local projects, preview browser code, work with local data or connect to your own development machines and servers.
| Capability | What Kodo provides |
|---|---|
| Offline AI | On-device Qwen inference through llama.cpp after a model is downloaded |
| AI editing | Inline autocomplete, chat and agent edits with reviewable diffs |
| Remote development | Interactive SSH terminal plus SFTP and FTP file access |
| GitHub workflows | Clone repositories, update local clones and push files |
| Data tools | SQLite and PostgreSQL workflows plus CSV/TSV editing |
| Web development | HTML, CSS and JavaScript editing with Emmet, formatting and live preview |
| Editor | Tabs, version snapshots, reusable snippets and 150+ syntax profiles |
| Privacy | No Kodo account, no cloud AI and no tracking |
- Open a local project or start from a free Kodo template.
- Edit with syntax highlighting, snippets, formatting and optional on-device AI.
- Review AI-generated changes before applying larger or multi-file edits.
- Preview HTML, CSS, JavaScript or Markdown locally.
- Connect over SSH when the project needs a server, compiler or full runtime.
- Use SFTP, GitHub or database tools when the workflow requires a network.
Kodo can run compatible coding models directly on supported iPhones and iPads.
- AI prompts and source code are processed on the device by the selected local model.
- Downloaded models can work offline.
- Server credentials are stored in Apple Keychain.
- Network access is used only for actions that require it, such as downloading a model, using GitHub or connecting to a remote server.
- Apple currently lists Kodo as collecting no data.
Read how local AI and network access work and the official privacy page.
Kodo can also act as a mobile companion to a development machine or server.
Use the built-in SSH terminal to run commands remotely and SFTP/FTP to work with files when a project requires runtimes, compilers or services that are not available locally on iOS.
This makes it possible to combine a native mobile editor with your existing development infrastructure.
Kodo is a mobile coding workspace, not a full local replacement for Xcode or a desktop IDE.
- It does not locally execute or compile Python, PHP, Swift or other general-purpose runtimes.
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Markdown can be previewed locally.
- A remote machine or server can provide runtimes, compilers and services for larger projects.
- Performance and available AI model sizes depend on the device's memory, storage and thermal conditions.
