Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I open my project files?

Tap Open Folder in the file explorer. On iPad, this opens the Files app — pick a folder from On My iPad, iCloud Drive, or any Files-provider you have installed (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive). On Android, the system folder picker opens; pick a folder anywhere local or via Google Drive.

Does NomadCode work offline?

Yes. Core editing, the file system, the terminal, and local Git all work without a network. AI completions and Git remote operations require a connection.

Do I need a hardware keyboard?

No, but it's recommended for serious work. NomadCode supports the standard editor shortcuts (⌘S save, ⌘P command palette, ⌘` toggle terminal, ⌘N new file, ⌘/ shortcuts sheet) when a keyboard is attached.

GitHub & Git

How do I sign in to GitHub?

Settings → Account → Sign in with GitHub. NomadCode uses standard OAuth — you'll be redirected to github.com to approve, then back to the app. The token is stored in the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore, never in app storage.

How do I clone a repository?

Open the command palette (⌘P) → Git: Clone repository. Paste the HTTPS URL. Cloning runs locally; once finished, the repo opens in the file explorer.

Push or pull is failing.

Check that you're signed in (Settings → Account) and that the remote URL uses HTTPS. SSH remotes are not supported in the current build.

Subscriptions

What's the difference between Free, Pro, and Pro+AI?

Free — Up to 3 open files. Full editor, terminal, and local Git.
Pro — Unlimited open files. Full Git workflow. All editor features.
Pro+AI — Everything in Pro plus AI inline completions and AI chat.

How do I restore a previous purchase on a new device?

Trigger the paywall (Settings → Subscription, or by trying to open a 4th file on the Free plan), then tap Restore purchases. You must be signed into the same Apple ID or Google account that originally subscribed.

How do I cancel?

iOS / iPadOS — Settings app → your name → Subscriptions → NomadCode → Cancel.
Android — Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → NomadCode → Cancel.

I cancelled but I'm still charged / still on Pro.

Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep Pro access until then. If you've been charged after cancellation, refund requests go through Apple or Google directly (we don't process payments).

AI Features

What does NomadCode send to the AI?

Only the code immediately around your cursor — a bounded prefix and suffix — plus the file's language. Whole-file or whole-workspace context is never sent automatically. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Can I turn AI off?

Yes. Settings → AI → toggle inline completions / chat off.

Editor & Performance

The editor is showing "Loading editor…" and never finishes.

The first launch downloads the Monaco editor bundle (~2.5 MB). Make sure you have a network connection on first run. After that, NomadCode caches it locally and works offline. If the spinner persists, force-quit the app and relaunch — if it still hangs, email ksyed0@gmail.com with your device and iOS / Android version.

How do I change the font size or theme?

Pinch-to-zoom in the editor changes font size on the fly. Settings → Appearance lets you pick a theme; eleven are bundled, including light and dark variants.

How do I install an extension?

Settings → Extensions → Install. Only JavaScript extensions sandboxed in WebAssembly workers are supported — native VS Code extensions are not.

Privacy & Data

Where is my code stored?

Entirely on your device, in the folder you picked when opening a workspace. Nothing is uploaded to any server NomadCode operates.

How do I delete all my data?

Uninstall NomadCode. The app is fully sandboxed; uninstalling removes all locally stored data and the OS clears the keychain entries.
