Chives — Multi-Cursor Text Editor

Writing and Editing on the Go

Chives is the perfect editor if you want to make edits quickly and efficiently while on the go. Most mobile editors either overwhelm you with panels and settings or feel like a stripped-down notepad. Chives attempts to provide a clean, distraction-free editor view with the one power features like regex search and replace and multi-cursor editing.

Chives is built for people who may be used to VSCode on the Desktop and may miss placing multiple cursors while commenting/uncommenting code, renaming variables, adding list symbols in markdown, or even editing prose. Chives brings this capability to iPhone and iPad, making it feel natural on touch screens.
