A Linux environment for Android ARM

A real Linux terminal
that fits in your pocket.

bash, python, node, git, ssh, curl, sqlite — hundreds of packages, all running locally on your phone. No cloud shell. No remote desktop. Your device, your terminal.

Coming soon on Google Play SOON What is MobileCLI?

What MobileCLI actually is

A full ARM64 Linux userland on Android — not a remote shell, not a web IDE, not an SSH client to someone else's box.

Local, real, offline-capable

Packages install to your phone. Code runs on your CPU. No account, no cloud dependency, no phone-home. Works on airplane mode once things are installed.

Not a remote-desktop app

MobileCLI isn't a window into some other computer. It is the computer. Your Android device becomes a working dev machine.

Built for real work

Build your startup's MVP on the train. Fix a bug from bed. Deploy a hotfix while waiting for coffee. Run AI agents overnight. Your phone has more potential than you might think.

No API-key setup

AI tiles (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, GitHub) launch the real CLI and sign you in through each service's own subscription OAuth — never with pasted keys.

Everything on your phone

Hundreds of packages, developer tools, and native hardware access — all stitched together.

⚡

Real shell

bash, zsh, tmux, vim, nano. Pipes, redirection, job control, color support. Everything behaves like a real terminal because it is one.

📦

Package manager

Install python, node, go, rust, java, gcc, make, ffmpeg, imagemagick, sqlite, postgres-client — hundreds of ARM64 packages, one command away.

🤖

AI as first-class tools

Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok, GitHub Copilot — each signs in with your own subscription. No API keys.

🔗

Phone mesh (optional)

Pair two phones over WiFi or Tailscale. Run commands on one from the other. Distribute compute across devices you already own.

📱

Hardware access

Camera, microphone, GPS, sensors, SMS, clipboard, notifications — accessible from the shell with native Android bridges.

🔒

No phone-home

No telemetry, no cloud sync, no remote-control pathway. We can't see what you do on your device. We don't want to.
