What is it?

Xed-Editor is a text editor for Android aimed at editing source code on a phone or tablet. It provides syntax highlighting and LSP-powered code intelligence, along with project-wide tools for searching and navigating files.

The app includes a built-in terminal, so users can run commands alongside their editing. The terminal is based on proot, and the community build downloads a matching Ubuntu rootfs on first use. The app also supports extensions, themes and icon packs.

It is distributed through F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, Google Play and GitHub releases, and is available in two build flavors: a community build with the extensions module and a Play Store build without it.
