Code Editor

TIDE features a native, incredibly fast text editor built specifically for Android devices. Unlike web-based wrappers, the native editor provides smooth scrolling, instant syntax highlighting, and minimal latency.

Keyboard Shortcuts & Tool Row

To make programming on a touchscreen easier, TIDE provides a specialized shortcut row above your standard keyboard. This row contains common programming symbols (like {, }, [, ], <, >, |, &) so you don't have to switch keyboard layers constantly.

Fonts

You can customize your coding font directly from the Font Picker in the editor settings. The editor supports rendering custom TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) programming fonts.

Tech Themes

TIDE comes packed with over 81 distinct editor themes out of the box. You can change your theme instantly via the Theme Picker menu.

Whether you prefer light, dark, high contrast, or deeply vibrant themes, TIDE supports it.
