Replit has launched native mobile apps for Android and iOS. Now users can use their smartphones not just as devices for consuming content, but as powerful creative tools for coding anytime, anywhere.

As a result of improving the performance of the existing browser-based mobile IDE, retention doubled, and currently about 20% of Replit users are developing on mobile devices. This native app focuses on expanding device-specific features and providing a faster, more stable working environment even in areas with unstable network conditions.

The key features are as follows:

  • Coding Joystick: Provides a dedicated native control interface for quickly moving the cursor and selecting text.
  • Smart Suggestions and Actions: Equipped with a local-first autocomplete engine and code editing toolbar supporting Python, HTML, CSS, JS, Typescript.
  • Ghostwriter: The AI pair programmer Ghostwriter can also be used on mobile.
  • Tabs System: The same tab system as on desktop allows users to open multiple files simultaneously and easily switch between them while working.
