Love2D Launcher
Run Love2D games natively on iPad, no PC needed
Love2D Runner brings the full LOVE 2D game engine to iOS. Import any Love2D project from Files, tap Run, and your Lua game runs natively. No streaming, no browser, no workarounds. Built for Love2D developers who want to test on real iPad hardware. Features: - Native Love2D 11.x runtime (Lua 5.4) - Built-in Lua editor with real-time syntax checking - Clone GitHub repos directly on iPad - On-device AI assistant (no cloud, runs via Apple MLX) - Export projects as ZIP - Dark UI built for developers
Love2D is great for making 2D games in Lua, but testing on iPad has always been painful. Simulators lie, streaming adds lag, browser runtimes change behavior.
Love2D Runner compiles the actual Love2D engine for iOS and wraps it in a native app. Select a project, tap Run, see it on real hardware in under 3 seconds.
The Lua editor, GitHub integration and on-device AI assistant came later as natural extensions of the same idea: keep everything on the device, keep the workflow fast.
Currently on TestFlight. App Store is a grey area for dynamic Lua execution, but if you build with Love2D and have an iPad, give it a try. Happy to answer questions!
