Platforms and requirements

Use Oxbit in a browser, install the desktop app, or join the iPhone and iPad beta. Where your workspace runs determines which tools are available.

Oxbit in a browser with the agent panel open

Browser and CLI

Run oxbit on your computer to serve the editor and connect it to your files. Browser workspaces also store files and drafts locally in IndexedDB and support directory access where the browser provides it.

Terminals, tasks, Git, and managed language servers use a trusted runtime connection.

iPhone and iPad (beta)

Edit the app’s Documents folder or folders selected through Files. Git, language services, and Oxbit Agent run on the device. Connect to a computer runtime for terminals and tasks, or use SSH and SFTP for remote work.

Requires: iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later. Distribution is through TestFlight.

Remote workspaces

Start a runtime on a computer you control and pair the editor using its code. Desktop SSH connections install the bundled headless runtime on supported Linux and macOS hosts without requiring Node or npm on the host.

The runtime binds to loopback by default. Network access and tool trust are separate setup decisions.
