Available in Piebald Pro The Piebald code editor allows you to edit files right inside the app. Code is syntax-highlighted based on the file extension. The code editor uses Monaco Editor, which is the same underlying editor that VS Code uses. The code editor will use the theme that you’ve specified in Settings → Appearance → Code Block Themes. In future versions, we’re planning enhancements that will align it more with state-of-the-art code editors like VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor, Antigravity, etc.
