In their own words

CodeDroid

CodeDroid is a mobile-first programming environment for writing, compiling, running, and debugging code on mobile devices. The project describes support for 10 languages, including Python, Rust, Go, and C++. Its editor includes syntax highlighting, autocomplete, compiler error overlays, file management, and persistent editor state. A system PTY-backed terminal and Git console support command-line work, staging changes, viewing diffs, cloning repositories, and pushing or pulling updates. Code runs through system compilers and can access the host device’s filesystem and binaries. A local development server reloads previews when project files change. Offline fallback uses local-first file caching and regex-based autocomplete when the LSP is unavailable; language intelligence can use installed tools such as rust-analyzer, pylsp, clangd, and gopls. Android setup uses Termux and a script that detects ARM64 or x86_64. Desktop wrappers are described for macOS, Windows, and Linux, while iPhone and iPad browsers can connect over Wi-Fi to a compiler server hosted on Android or a PC. CodeDroid is free under GNU GPL v3.0.
