HTML Designer for Android is available on Google Play and requires Android 8.0 or later. Gemini Nano needs a device with Android AICore; App Functions for assistants on the device need Android 16 or later.
Use a menu bar, keyboard shortcuts and focused palettes, with a mouse or a trackpad and a keyboard on a desktop or tablet. Each project has its own window, which you move, resize, minimize (Window ▸ Minimize, Ctrl+M) or put in full screen (View ▸ Enter Full Screen, F11). On phones, and in windows narrower than 600 dp, the same window takes a compact form and the sidebar becomes a drawer.
Keep your pages, styles and scripts in ordinary project folders you can open and maintain. A project is a folder you grant to the app with Android's folder picker (File ▸ Open Local Folder…, Ctrl+O); Show in Files reveals a file in the Files app, and Delete… asks first, because Android has no Trash. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Markdown and SVG files open in HTML Designer from the Files app and from other apps.
Install HTML Designer from Google Play and start with a local project or a saved hosting connection. Google Play keeps it up to date.
