About Lua ide +lsp,luarocks,linux
Lua IDE with Linux terminal, LuaRocks & LSP — code, run, debug anywhere
Lua IDE turns your phone or tablet into a real Lua development environment with a genuine Linux terminal — write, run, and debug Lua code anywhere, no desktop required. Built for scripters, game developers, and students who need real tools, not toy simulators.
REAL LINUX TERMINAL
A real, full Linux command line. Run lua, luarocks, and any Linux command directly, install packages, and manage multiple terminal tabs with quick-key bars for symbols that are hard to type on mobile keyboards.
PROPER LUA TOOLCHAIN
Full LuaRocks package management, set up automatically when you create a project, with full LSP (Language Server Protocol) support powering intelligent code completion, live error checking, jump-to-definition, find references, safe rename refactoring, and signature help you'd expect from a desktop IDE.
POWERFUL CODE EDITOR
Fast, accurate syntax highlighting for Lua and 15+ other languages. Includes find & replace, go-to-line, fuzzy quick file search, a built-in hex viewer, a clean diff viewer, and 10 bundled programmer fonts including Hack Nerd Font, JetBrains Mono, and dyslexia-friendly options.
BUILD ANY PROJECT, ANY LANGUAGE
Create new projects from ready-made templates that set up the right tools automatically — projects stay 100% standard and usable outside the app. Beyond Lua, Lua IDE also supports:
• Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Rust (Axum, Actix, Rocket), Go (Gin, Fiber, Echo), C/C++ (CMake)
• JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Svelte, Astro, Express)
• PHP (Laravel, Symfony), Ruby (Rails, Sinatra), Java (Spring Boot, Quarkus), Kotlin (Ktor)
• Swift, Bash, Perl, R, Zig, Lisp, Fortran, Dart
RUN & PREVIEW LIVE
Run your scripts straight from the toolbar, with terminal output streamed live. For web projects, your app opens automatically in a built-in browser preview without leaving the IDE.
BUILT-IN BROWSER INSPECTOR
For web projects, inspect running apps like a desktop browser: view page elements, styles, debug scripts, monitor network requests, check storage, and audit accessibility — all in one place.
FULL GIT CLIENT
Stage and commit changes, create/checkout/merge/rebase branches, manage stashes, browse commit history, resolve merge conflicts with a visual diff resolver, and manage remotes. Connect securely to GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea/Forgejo, and clone any repo in one tap.
SMART FILE MANAGER
Browse, create, rename, move, compress, and share files and folders through an intuitive, fast file tree built for touchscreens.
SPLIT-SCREEN, MULTI-TAB LAYOUT
Arrange code, terminal, and preview side by side with split-screen panes and a flexible tab system built for both phones and larger screens.
PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
Project-wide search & replace with regex support, a fast command palette for quick actions, and a reusable code snippets manager with per-language snippet bars.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
~20 built-in app themes (VSCode, Dracula, Nord, Tokyo Night, JetBrains, and more), terminal color schemes, and custom coding fonts. A one-tap Reset Environment restores a clean workspace whenever you need a fresh start.
SECURE BY DESIGN
Credentials and tokens are protected with encrypted storage, keeping your GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea logins safe on-device.
