Vibe Coding from Your Phone: A Complete Guide
Learn how to dispatch coding tasks, review diffs, and approve changes from your iPhone while away from your desk.
Vibe coding is the practice of directing AI coding agents through natural language from anywhere, without sitting at your desk. With Kibbler and Claude Code, you can manage your development workflow entirely from your phone.
What You'll Need
- An iPhone running iOS 17 or later
- A Mac, Windows, or Linux computer with Claude Code CLI installed
- A JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, etc.) or VS Code
- The Kibbler iOS app and IDE plugin/extension
Getting Started
First, install the Kibbler plugin in your IDE and pair it with the iOS app. The pairing process uses a QR code and establishes a secure encrypted tunnel between your phone and computer.
Step 1: Install the Plugin
JetBrains: Go to Settings > Plugins > Marketplace, search for "Kibbler", and click Install.
VS Code: Open the Extensions panel, search for "Kibbler", and click Install.
Step 2: Pair Your Phone
In the IDE, open the Kibbler tool window and click "Show QR Code". On your iPhone, open Kibbler and scan the code. That's it - you're connected.
Your First Remote Task
Now for the fun part. Walk away from your computer - go grab a coffee, sit on your couch, or head to the park. Open Kibbler on your phone and type:
Add a dark mode toggle to the settings pageClaude Code will analyze your codebase, plan the implementation, and start writing code. You'll see the progress in real-time on your phone.
Reviewing Changes
When Claude makes file changes, Kibbler shows you a diff view. You can:
- Approve - Apply the changes to your codebase
- Reject - Discard the changes and try a different approach
- Ask for modifications - Request specific tweaks before approving
Best Practices
- Be specific - Clear prompts lead to better results
- Review carefully - Always check diffs before approving
- Use approval mode - Never let AI make changes without your review
- Keep sessions focused - One task per conversation works best
What's Next?
Vibe coding unlocks a new way of working. You can review PRs during your commute, fix bugs while waiting for coffee, or prototype ideas from anywhere. The key is trusting the AI for the mechanical work while you focus on the creative decisions.
