About

Lotse

Features
Read full description

Lotse is a coding agent for your GitHub repositories. Describe a change on your phone, and Lotse works on it in the cloud, runs your tests and opens a pull request for you to review, even when the app is closed. You get a push when it's ready. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in and connect GitHub. The GitHub App "Lotse Agent" can only see the repositories you select. 2. Pick a repo and describe the change: a bug fix, a missing test, a small feature. 3. Close the app if you like. The task runs in the cloud; small changes usually take a few minutes. 4. Review the pull request on GitHub. It shows the test result honestly, also when tests fail. Merge it or send it back. WHAT YOU GET - Pull requests on your own repos. Nothing is merged without you. - Tests run for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java/Kotlin and Flutter/Dart, including monorepos. - A live log of what the agent is doing. - A push notification when a task is finished. - You decide which repositories Lotse can access, and you can remove access on GitHub at any time. Lotse works best on small, well-defined changes: fixes, tests, small features. Repositories that need a database or a browser to test, and Android, Ruby, PHP or .NET projects, are limited. Lotse says so in the pull request. FREE AND PRO Try it free while capacity lasts. Lotse Pro raises the limits, removes ads and gives you more AI prompt improvements. Task limits are per day and reset every day. AI AND YOUR DATA Before your first task the app asks for your consent: your task description and the repository code are sent to AI model providers via OpenRouter to do the work. AI output can be wrong, so always review a pull request before you merge it. You can delete your account in the app. Privacy policy: [PRIVACY URL] SUBSCRIPTION Lotse Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly), billed through Google Play or your Apple ID. It renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancel any time in your store's subscription settings. Terms of use: [TERMS URL] Formerly Jules Console. Google ends Jules on December 31, 2026; if you used Jules in this app, your sessions stay viewable until then.
