Can I use PyCharm on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming PyCharm 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 PyCharm installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
PyCharm runs on the Mac with that project’s configured interpreter. Apperture provides remote access to the window; it does not install Python dependencies or an IDE on iOS. PyCharm product information.
