What it does

Acode is a mobile code editor whose official site title advertises Android and iOS. Its accessible project README focuses on Android and describes editing and creating websites, previewing them in a browser, a JavaScript console, a built-in terminal, S/FTP and SSH integration, and community plugins. The separate Acode documentation site introduces an API for plugin development. It is aimed at people who need source editing and lightweight development tools on a mobile device rather than a desktop IDE.

Editing while away from a desktop

The official Android project README describes a workflow for editing HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other source files on a mobile device, then previewing a website in a browser. It also lists a JavaScript console and integrated terminal, plus S/FTP and SSH integration for working with remote files or hosts. Those features make Acode relevant for a small web fix or an inspection task when a desktop environment is not available; the project does not claim that every language has a bundled compiler or runtime.

Acode’s documentation homepage describes an API for building plugins, so users can extend the editor rather than treating its built-in feature set as fixed. The README links to Google Play and F-Droid for Android distribution. The product site title also names iOS, but the accessible pages did not describe iOS workflows or establish feature parity with Android.

No current price or app-specific license was established from the official pages accessed. The MIT notice on the documentation homepage refers to that docs site and is not evidence of the app’s license.
