Bibimer · Your mobile ADE

Bibimer's core trick is simple: it doesn't run your code anywhere but your own phone. The Android app sits on top of Termux, which supplies the Linux command line, Git, Python and Node.js. Your coding agent (Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode) runs inside that Termux environment. A bridge component connects the two on the same device. Compatible agents emit structured events, and Bibimer turns them into a readable mobile UI: formatted answers and code, visible tool activity so you can follow commands and their results, and approval prompts you review before the agent is allowed to act. The site's pitch is blunt: "Your phone is the development machine. No separate computer required."

That setup has real consequences. Projects, files and Git live in Termux, so you're not tethered to a remote host or a laptop running a relay. The agent itself may still call out to online AI providers. Bibimer says plainly that agents may send your prompts, code and files to their configured providers, and that provider fees are on you. On top of the chat view you get project and worktree management, a terminal, syntax-highlighted file reading, Git diffs, and previews for Markdown, static HTML and Mermaid diagrams. Version 0.25.0 adds creating a Git worktree and starting a session from the sidebar, steering an active Codex or Claude response, and batching queued follow-ups.

The honest caveat is that this is early software with real setup overhead. The public release is 0.23.0, and 0.25.0 is still with invited testers pending production review. You install Termux yourself, follow the setup guide, start in terminal mode, then install and authenticate your agent as separate steps. Bridge updates can end running sessions and drop in-flight responses. If you already use Claude Code or Codex in a terminal and want a phone-native way to drive them, it's a thoughtful build. If you want a hosted, zero-setup coding app, this isn't it.
