MobileCLI: Claude Code, Gemini

MobileCLI

About this app

MobileCLI is a real Linux terminal for Android with first-class support for every major AI command line interface (CLI). Run Claude Code CLI, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Grok CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI on your phone — the real binaries, signed in with the paid subscription you already have. No API keys. No proxies. No laptop.

A full bash shell, SSH client, multi-tab terminal, package manager, and ARM64 toolchains — the Linux environment you build on, running on-device on Android. Built for AI coding on a phone: mobile developers running Claude Code CLI, Gemini CLI, or Codex CLI on Android without a laptop. Mobile CLI, written one word or two, is the same app.

Hardware as shell commands
Camera, GPS, SMS, clipboard, sensors, flashlight, notifications — all exposed as simple command line tools. Script your phone the way you script a laptop.

Who it's for
- Mobile developers who want a real Linux shell when the laptop is closed

Privacy

What’s new

Codex CLI sign-in fixed. Codex now launches with --no-daemon so it works inside the Play app sandbox.
