Kibbler Is Now on Android

Code from your phone, whether you're team iOS or Android.

January 31, 2026 - 3 min read

Kibbler launched on iOS a few weeks ago. Today, it's available on Android.

If you've been waiting to try mobile coding because you're on Android, the wait is over. You can download Kibbler from the Google Play Store right now.

Same Features, Native Experience

The Android app has everything from the iOS version:

  • Full Claude Code integration. Connect to your local Claude Code instance and dispatch coding tasks from anywhere.
  • Approval mode. Review diffs, approve or reject changes, all from your phone.
  • Voice input. Dictate coding instructions instead of typing on a small screen.
  • Secure tunnel. End-to-end encrypted connection to your dev machine, no port forwarding required.
  • Project switching. Jump between different codebases without reconfiguring.

But it's not a cross-platform port. The Android app is built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, using Android-native APIs for speech recognition, secure storage, and system integration. It feels like an Android app because it is one.

Why Native Matters

I wrote about this in a previous post, but the short version: native apps can do things web apps can't.

On Android specifically:

  • Proper background handling. Android's Doze mode is aggressive about killing network connections. The app handles stream recovery correctly when you unlock your phone.
  • Material Design. The UI follows Android conventions. Back gestures, keyboard handling, and system integration all work the way Android users expect.

Getting Started

The setup process is the same as iOS:

  1. Install the Kibbler plugin in your IDE (VS Code, GoLand, IntelliJ, etc.)
  2. Scan the QR code from the Android app
  3. Start coding from your phone

Your phone connects to your dev machine through our secure tunnel. All communication is end-to-end encrypted. We never see your code or your prompts.

Free to Try

Kibbler comes with a 7-day free trial. It connects to Claude Code running on your dev machine, so you use your existing Claude Pro or Team subscription.

If you've been curious about mobile coding but were stuck on Android, now's your chance to try it.
