NimoteCode brings a code editor, SSH terminal, Git review and AI workflows to Android, iPhone and iPad. Inspect a project, make a focused change, run the available checks and review the result without switching between separate mobile tools.
- Edit a local project. Open a folder on your device with the system picker, browse files and start editing. No remote host is needed to get started; running code depends on the tools available in your workspace.
- Connect to your development host over SSH. Work with remote project files, use the host's terminal and inspect Git changes. Follow the SSH remote development guide to edit and verify a change. Requires a reachable, configured SSH host.
- Run Linux on Android without root. Use bundled Ubuntu through PRoot, with Bash, Git and SSH, on supported Android 8+ ARM64 / x86_64 devices. Share app-local projects with Linux at
/mnt/local. Try your first Linux script. Local Linux is unavailable on iPhone and iPad.

Edit → Run checks → Review the diff → extend the workspace, in one mobile IDE. These selected capabilities from our detailed comparison help you choose the right tool for your workflow. The NimoteCode column reflects 2.3.0; question marks mean the corresponding capability has not been verified for that product.

Orca mobile requires its desktop companion. Moshi's diff and web preview require Pro and a host hook. Redock's preview uses a host development server.
¹ Early Access: NimoteCode’s Plugin Center, built-in Agent (including active-run follow-ups and configured MCP tool servers), Git writes and LSP are available through Early Access; Git status, diffs and history are free. Check the app for current availability. ² Local Linux requires supported Android 8+ ARM64 / x86_64 devices. The built-in Agent needs your own AI provider; LSP needs a configured host language server.
A check does not mean free, setup-free or available on every platform. Blink integrates editing through Blink Code; Git / LSP depend on repository or remote IDE configuration. Termius Mosh is verified here for Android only. See the full comparison for each product's setup and plan requirements.

Try the workflow yourself: install NimoteCode and open a demo or local project. No AI setup needed to start.
- Edit and navigate: use the same Nimote Editor on phone, tablet, and desktop; browse and search project files, use split editor panes, and preview Markdown and web output.
- Run and inspect: use the terminal and project tasks in a compatible workspace, with mobile extra keys, terminal focus mode, configurable color palettes, and SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT SSH proxies when needed.
- Review with Git: inspect status, diffs and history; search for, create, and check out branches from the Git header; use Early Access workflows to commit, pull, push and resolve conflicts.
- Extend the workspace: use Early Access Plugin Center to create custom panels, forms, workflows, artifact views, and local or SSH script jobs, with permission changes reviewed before installation or updates.
- Use language tools: connect supported language servers for editor diagnostics and configured remote debug adapters for debugging. LSP and debugging are available through Early Access and require the appropriate environment tools.
- Work with AI: ask about code, delegate a bounded task to the built-in Agent, or use compatible agents on your SSH host.
System-granted external folders support browsing and editing; Git, LSP, debugging, Tasks, file watching and Agent workflows need a native filesystem path. Tool availability depends on the workspace, installed tools and plan. See the feature reference for details.
| Workflow | How to use it |
|---|---|
| AI Chat | Explain code and terminal output with workspace context. Connect your own AI provider and API key. |
| Built-in Agent | Inspect files, plan changes, edit and run checks in a supported workspace; continue an active run with follow-up instructions and answer its interactive questions. Available through Early Access. |
| MCP tool servers | Configure verified MCP servers for the built-in Agent on a local or SSH workspace; every tool call requires explicit approval. Available through Early Access. |
| External ACP agent | Connect a compatible runtime on your SSH host; review permissions and progress in the app's conversation view. |
| Claude Code / Codex over SSH | Run a CLI installed on your own host through the terminal. Follow the Claude Code on phone guide. |
AI model access and tokens are not included. Provider charges are separate. External agents and CLIs require their own installation, authentication and service access; Claude Code and Codex are not bundled with NimoteCode. Review commands and diffs before accepting AI-generated changes.
- Install: Android — Google Play · iPhone / iPad — App Store.
- Open a workspace: choose a local project, connect an SSH host, or explore the Demo workspace. Supported Android devices can also use Local Linux. You can start without configuring AI.
- Make one small change: open a file, edit it, run a check if your environment supports it, then inspect the Git diff in a Git repository.
Free to start, with advanced workflows through Early Access: Free includes local and SSH workspaces, the editor, baseline terminal, Git review, AI Chat and basic Tasks. Advanced workflows such as GitHub integration, Android Local Linux, AI Agent, remote content search, multiple terminals, Git writes, LSP and debugging are available through Early Access. Check Early Access details and the app for current availability and terms.
Store availability and release timing may differ by platform and region. See download and platform requirements; the version offered by your store may differ from the release documented below.
Workspace modes for IDE, Terminal, and AI, plus Windows SSH, upgraded plugins, interactive Agent follow-ups, terminal improvements, and Docker development on SSH hosts.
- Switch workspace modes: move between IDE, Terminal, and AI while keeping the current project and Explorer state.
- Develop with Docker over SSH: manage containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose services; inspect logs and statistics, open exec, and search Docker Hub.
- Use Dev Containers: create or rebuild from
devcontainer.jsonand open an isolated, configured workspace. - More capable workflows: Windows SSH, validated plugin contributions and Agent tools, ACP Agent follow-ups, adaptive terminal panes, and mobile Git review.
- Mobile development guides — local editing, remote development, Git and AI workflows.
- Android Local Linux documentation — setup, compatibility and troubleshooting.
- Linux Presets — optional environments with versioned manifests and verification scripts; see the preset overview.
- Official website — product details and documentation.
