I've been working with agents since before they were useful, but this is my first time looking into Kilo Code.
Overall my experience is positive, I really like what you guys are up to.
Here's what I like:
- The step chart and token use visualization at the top is cool. As a visual person, I'd like us to start introducing more charts, visualizations, and graphs into the agentic coding process.
- The enhance prompt feature is a nice touch, I haven't noticed that anywhere else
- The built in diff viewer is great, it replaces gitlens for me, and the fact that you can comment on the diffs and add them to the working context makes it even better
Here's what I love:
- The worktrees implementation is chef's kiss
- Running parallel LLMs on the same problem. I have this exact implementation in one of my personal tools and I love it. When it comes to coding the cost might be prohibitive though, but I love the idea of having something like this available.
What I don't like:
- The auth flow with Linux+Cursor+Brave was rough around the edges, I went through the same motion 5x before realizing I'm actually logged in, but the sign in panel didn't disappear. Anyway, maybe something for you guys to look into.
Overall solid work Kilo Code team, I'm impressed and curious to see how the project develops.

@Kilo Code is now available on iOS and Android. Always be building, always be launching.
Kilo Code
As agentic engineering has evolved, I’ve found myself spending more and more time in the same loop:
Give an agent a task and wait for it to create a PR.
Review the PR and merge it.
Repeat.
Eventually, I realized I didn’t need to be at my desk for any of this. I could keep work moving while getting on with the rest of my day. That realization led to the Kilo mobile app.
The goal is simple: everything you can do at your desk, I want you to be able to do from your phone too (or a tablet, if you want to get fancy).
It has completely changed how I work. I use the app to build the app. I can take a walk in the park in the middle of the day while my agents keep working. A trip to the bank? No problem. A vet appointment? I can review a PR from the waiting room.
I care deeply about making Kilo the best way to work from your phone, but I know your workflow may look different from mine. If you try the app and find something missing, please open an issue in our GitHub repo. The app is open source, and I’ll gladly consider your request.
