Hey everyone 👋

I build PocketCode on my own. It's a code editor and IDE that runs on your Android phone or tablet.

Real development still assumes you're sitting at a laptop, but the computer most of us carry all day is a phone. I wanted to open a project, fix the bug, run it and push the commit from there, without setting anything up first.

So it's all in one app: an editor with language servers, a real Linux terminal with SSH and SFTP, PostgreSQL running inside the app (plus connections to Neon, Supabase, MySQL, MongoDB and more), an API tester, a visual designer that exports HTML and CSS, and Git. C, Python and JavaScript run on the device.

The AI uses your own key (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint). I don't resell credits or proxy your requests, and every change the AI makes can be reviewed and undone.

The free plan includes every tool, with room for one of each: one project, one SSH host, one database connection, one API collection. Pro removes those limits and adds AI agents that work on their own. There are no ads, and your code stays on your device.

The hardest and most fun part was getting PostgreSQL and a C compiler to run on a phone.

PocketCode is in open testing on Google Play right now, so you can install it today. It needs Android 9 or later and an account to sign in. I'd love your feedback, especially on what breaks, and I'm here to answer questions 🙏
