About

kube

Read full description

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 → Mobile app). No account, no sign-up — 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 — no token needed. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Tasks — 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 — the task view renders your workspace's real terminal, the same session the web dashboard shows. • Apps — 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 — your one-tap launchers (build prompts, URLs, shell commands), shared with the web dashboard. • Memory — browse what your workspace remembers. • Metrics — 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 — read the code, run your own, or try the demo: github.com/imran31415/kube-coder
