Yado gives you a full cloud development environment on your phone: a real terminal and a chat interface driven by your own AI coding agent. You can work from your phone, without a laptop. WHAT IS YADO? Sign in with GitHub and a cloud development container starts for you, with the tools already installed. Chat with your agent to build, or drop into a real terminal when you want direct control. You can switch between chat and terminal, and they share the same session and context. FEATURES - No laptop required. Your environment runs in the cloud, not on a computer that has to stay awake. - No setup. The container comes ready, with nothing to install or configure. - Bring your own agent. Connect the AI subscription you already pay for. Your AI provider bills you for usage, not Yado. - Chat or terminal. Start in chat, take over in the terminal, and keep the same context. - Live preview. Run your app and open it on your phone. - Push notifications. Start a task, lock your phone, and get notified when it finishes or needs you. DEVELOPER TOOLS Real git, a real shell, and standard developer tools. Clone repositories, run builds, make commits, and open pull requests from your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Yado is a subscription.
