Getting Started with PocketCode: Your Mobile IDE with AI
Discover how PocketCode revolutionizes mobile development with integrated artificial intelligence and all its main features.
Welcome to PocketCode
PocketCode is a professional Android IDE that brings software development to your pocket. With AI integration, support for 20+ programming languages, and connectivity with the best development platforms.
Why PocketCode?
In an increasingly mobile world, developers need tools that adapt to their lifestyle. PocketCode allows you to:
- Code anywhere: No need for a heavy laptop
- Leverage AI: Intelligent assistant that understands your code
- Connect with your favorite tools: GitHub, Vercel, Supabase and more
- Work offline: Write code without internet connection
Main Features
🤖 Integrated AI Assistant
Connect your own AI account under a BYOK model (API key for Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub Copilot…) or OAuth login through the official CLIs (Claude Code, Codex). PocketCode is not an AI provider — usage is billed by the provider — and use it to:
- Generate code automatically: Describe what you need and let AI write it
- Debug errors: Find and fix bugs faster
- Explain complex code: Understand code you didn't write
- Suggest improvements: Optimize your code with smart recommendations
# Example: Ask AI "create a simple HTTP server"
from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler
class SimpleHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
def do_GET(self):
self.send_response(200)
self.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')
self.end_headers()
self.wfile.write(b'Hello from PocketCode!')
server = HTTPServer(('', 8000), SimpleHandler)
server.serve_forever()
💻 Multi-Language Support
Write code in 20+ languages with syntax highlighting and autocompletion:
- Web: JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS
- Backend: Python, Go, Rust, Java, Kotlin
- Mobile: Dart, Swift, Kotlin
- Data: SQL, Python, R
- And many more...
🔄 Git Integration
Manage your repositories directly from your mobile:
# Clone a repository
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
# Make changes
git add .
git commit -m "Update from mobile with PocketCode"
git push origin main
No more waiting to get home to make that urgent commit.
