kube-coder mobile is the companion app for kube-coder, an open-source, self-hosted cloud development platform (github.com/imran31415/kube-coder). If you run a kube-coder workspace, this app lets you drive it from anywhere. CONNECT IN SECONDS Point the app at your workspace host and paste the API token from your dashboard (Settings ā Mobile app). No account, no sign-up ā the app talks directly to your own server, and the token is stored securely on your device. Just looking? Tap "Explore the public demo" on the first screen to browse a read-only demo workspace ā no token needed. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Tasks ā start a coding task for your AI assistant, follow the live session, and send follow-ups when it needs input. Active work up front; finished tasks tucked under Done. ⢠Live terminal ā the task view renders your workspace's real terminal, the same session the web dashboard shows. ⢠Apps ā see the dev servers running in your workspace and open them in-app. Split the screen to watch your app change while the assistant works on it. ⢠Desktop ā your one-tap launchers (build prompts, URLs, shell commands), shared with the web dashboard. ⢠Memory ā browse what your workspace remembers. ⢠Metrics ā live CPU, memory, and disk, plus service health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No analytics. No third-party services. The app connects only to the workspace host you configure, over HTTPS, using your token. kube-coder itself is open source ā read the code, run your own, or try the demo: github.com/imran31415/kube-coder

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: kube at none against Flutabby's 3. Flutabby's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
