Ship allows you code from your phone! Simply choose the repository you'd like to edit, then prompt our Custom Language Model System (link below) with a task, changes, or a question regarding the selected Github Repository. Then just watch as we handle the rest! The changes are made on a new branch so as to not interfere with your current set up, but you can push these changes directly through the app. We prioritized making Non-destructive changes to your Repos by having our agent push its changes to a new branch, specified by the current date. We also allow you to select an existing repo to build on top of an existing project. We're going to be quickly adding features and want to open source our Language Model System backend in order to allow you to easily customize your own system which can do much more than just coding through an integration store! This is the first AI Powered application that allows you to edit existing GitHub Repositories from your phone! Other Features: - You can view the code within the repository that you're working with by selecting the 'Code' icon in the top right of your Chat View. - Open Sourced Language Model System: https://github.com/LMSystems-ai/Github-Agent so you can create your own branch of our coding agent and try it out yourself! If you create something cool, we'll add it to the app and let you have access for free! Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Orchestra Code

Features
Read full description

Orchestra Code is the AI coding app for coding on mobile. Code from your phone, no laptop required. Describe what you want in plain English. Orchestra runs a real AI coding agent on a cloud machine that clones your repo, makes the change, runs your project, and opens a pull request you can review and merge. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Start tasks in natural language or by voice. The AI writes the code. - Run AI coding agents in the cloud, in the background, even after you close the app. - Review real git diffs file by file, with GitHub-style colored changes. - Open, review, and merge pull requests from your phone. - Run your own web project on the cloud machine and open it in a live web preview before you ship. - Connect any GitHub repo. Orchestra works on a branch and keeps your main safe. - Vibe-code by voice. Dictate a task and the AI agent ships it. - Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or use your ChatGPT subscription. BUILT FOR SHIPPING, NOT JUST CHATTING Unlike chat assistants that hand you snippets to paste, Orchestra implements features end to end. It edits files, runs the project, and produces a pull request. You stay in control by reviewing the diff and merging when it looks right. WHO IT IS FOR - Developers who want to kick off and review work from their phone. - Product managers, designers, and founders who want to ship changes without writing code. - Anyone who wants to code from their phone, with a real AI coding agent in their pocket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Connect a GitHub repository. 2. Describe the change, or dictate it with your voice. 3. Orchestra spins up a cloud agent that writes the code on a branch. 4. Review the diff and the live web preview of your own project. 5. Open a pull request and merge. Orchestra Code is the mobile companion to Orchestra, the AI code change platform at orchestracode.com. Orchestra is bring your own key. You connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter account (or your ChatGPT subscription), and your tasks run on that account. Starting a task sends your prompt and the files of the repository you connect to that provider. The app shows this in full and asks you to agree before your first task, and you can withdraw that at any time in Settings. Subscriptions are auto-renewing monthly plans that cover cloud machine time. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews at the same price each month unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings, Apple Account, Subscriptions. Privacy policy: https://orchestracode.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://orchestracode.com/terms
