I bought an iPad Air M2 on a Tuesday night. Opened the App Store looking for a proper coding tool, something that could actually build and run code locally. Found nothing. Most “coding app” was just a remote control for a desktop machine. No local runtimes. No real compiler. No build system.
I couldn’t sit still.
I already had a full desktop version (G-Code for macOS), so I ported it to iPadOS. Started Tuesday night. By Saturday the app could build and run code. Then I spent four more days breaking it on purpose: six test batches, 37 scored tasks, 22 bug fixes, all on one iPad Air M2. Total API cost for the entire test suite: $53.60. Every result is public at Result Page. Nothing hidden, nothing cherry-picked.
Price: $3.99. One-time. No subscription. No data collection.
I could charge $19.99 and it would still be a steal. But my rule is simple: I’d rather not make money than get a bad review. So everything goes in from day one. No DLC, no Pro tier, no feature gates.
Your iPad has an M-series chip that rivals some laptops. It deserves a real coding tool, not a glorified remote desktop.
What feedback would help most:
Try breaking it. Seriously. The stress tests I ran (20 web projects on Haiku 5.5, five multi-page sites on Opus 5.5) proved the build system works. Now I want to see what real users throw at it. Tell me what runtimes or languages you wish you could run on your iPad. I built this because I needed it. If you need something I haven’t thought of, I want to know.
