User Reviews for Runestone Text Editor

A great, modern lightweight text editor

Runestone definitely exceeds the expectations of being a lightweight text editor for iPad and iPhone. With its modern design an architecture, the app feels right at home with tons of other iPadOS apps while packing a rich feature set that’s come in handy in the few times I’ve used the app. The Premium package is definitely worth the price and extends Runestone further to how I like my editing tools. It’s a strong contender against the editor I’ve used for years on iPad, Textastic, and I’d love to see something similar come to the Mac.

Pleasure To Use

It is so nice to open and use an application produced by someone who truly thought about its use and function. Runestone is a well-planned, well-designed app. It's a pleasure to use because it was designed that way. Great purchase.

Great app, but needs some fixing

There are issues opening most files (regardless of their type) that are accessed through a cloud repository (in my case I used OneDrive). Please fix if possible. Thank you!

Just get it already

If you’re looking, you know what it is and I’ll tell you it is worth it. Even without premium it’s a great text/markdown editor. If you use it even a couple times a week the premium update is worth it and reasonable for what you get (my opinion of course).

Amazing app

Lightning fast, flexible and fully featured. I’d love to see support for Typescript syntax highlighting too. Highly recommended.

Best Text Editor

I’ve tried so many text editors from Coda for iOS to Koder to Textastic. They’ve all been “ok”, but the problem I kept coming down to was the syntax highlighting. I’m a web developer and I use Atom on Mac every single day. I discovered this app and the syntax highlighting looked pretty good, but then I found where you can create your own theme and I immediately bought Premium and got to work replicating Atoms theme I use. I got it 90% of the way there and I’m in love. I’ve wanted this for years. THANK YOU.If I could ask for anything it would be tabs for multiple files open at once and maybe a tree view on the left to browse files and folder structure, but other than that I LOVE IT.

I’ve been looking for something like this

This app just fell into my lap like a gift. Exactly what I needed

😑 latest update nuked my custom theme (premium user)

I spent many, many hours getting my custom theme just right – gone now after the latest update. 😣 Please provide us with some way of exporting our custom themes, so users like myself can protect our time & effort from being lost to app amnesia.

Please add an option to hide the symbol bar

Runestone is absolutely amazing for what it does. I just wish the symbol bar could be toggled with a setting on demand.

Description

A plain text editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, search and replace, page guide, and much more. It's like TextEdit but more powerful and optimised for iPhone and iPad. Runestone is made by a single person with a love for text editors and a vision of building the most lightweight text editor for iPhone and iPad that still has the core features for editing code.

Features: - Syntax highlighting of many languages including HTML, JavaScript, JSON, Markdown, Swift, Python, PHP, YAML, and many more. - Select one of the twelve standard themes including popular themes like Tomorrow, Dracula, Solarized, and One Dark Pro. - Innovative find and replace for searching and modifying text while still viewing your file. - Choose font and font size, including support for custom fonts imported using another third-party app. - Show the line and column the cursor is located on. - Uses the standard document browser for an experience similar to the Files app. - Quickly navigate to a specific line. - Automatically close opening brackets and quotes. - Multiple windows on the iPad. - Format code using Prettier.js. Supported languages include CSS,HTML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP and more. - Choose text encoding between popular encodings like UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO Latin 1, and many more. - Enable or disable autocorrection, autocapitalization, and smart punctuation. - Set default file extension of new files. - Open files in Runestone from the Share Sheet. - Print documents. Premium features: - Choose between eight app icons. - Show line numbers. - Highlight the selected line. - Increase line height and letter spacing. - Disable line wrapping to allow horizontal scrolling. - Show tabs, spaces, and line breaks using a selected symbol. - Enable page guide at a specific column to easily tell when lines are getting too long. - Add vertical and horizontal overscroll. - Remember the selected language per file. - Save file extensions and filenames that should always be treated as plain text files. - Enable soft tabs and choose the width of the tab character. - Specify whether pressing the tab key should insert a tab or indent the line. - Adjust the scaling of Markdown headings and disable highlighting of code blocks in Markdown. Premium features are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase that’s currently priced at $9.99 USD. Pricing may vary from country to country. Runestone was built on the open-source framework with the same name. Find more information on the Runestone framework at github.com/simonbs/runestone
