Keep the configured IDE within reach
Open IntelliJ IDEA on your Mac with its JDK, project dependencies, run configurations, and terminals. Read a test failure, inspect a class, or check a debugger session while away from the desk.
- Read code and navigate the project
- Inspect test and build output
- Review debugger state and run settings
Use IntelliJ IDEA on iPad
An iPad gives code, project navigation, and tool windows more space. A keyboard can help with small edits while the configured environment stays on the Mac.
How to get IntelliJ IDEA on your iPhone or iPad
- Open IntelliJ IDEA on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
- Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.
- Connect to your Mac and choose the IntelliJ IDEA window. Use landscape orientation for more room.
Keep your Mac awake and on a network your iPhone or iPad can reach. Start on the same local network; for access away from home, see the Tailscale setup guide.
Can I use IntelliJ IDEA on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming IntelliJ IDEA from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with IntelliJ IDEA installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Your project runs with the tools and permissions configured in IntelliJ IDEA on the Mac. Desktop build and debugging capabilities do not become native iOS tools. IntelliJ IDEA product information.
