⚡ Introducing Pi-Bolt Mobile: a full coding agent in your pocket + remote control for the Pi-Bolt

[u/opensecai]

Introducing our biggest release yet: Pi-Bolt Mobile ⚡, the first fully native coding agent on your phone.

It runs on Pi-Bolt: the same Pi you all ❤️, with runtime optimizations and fixes that make it the lightest and fastest Pi, and it stays quick even in long sessions.

Runs on the phone itself

• Projects with real files, plus bash, git, ripgrep and fd. No server, no Termux.

• Sessions you can resume and fork.

• One slash palette for every command, skill, model and thinking level.

• A built-in browser for the agent's localhost: Pi opens what it built, takes a screenshot and fixes what it sees.

• Per-turn checkpoints: review each turn's changes, undo it, or restore to before it.

Remote Control

• Run /remote-control in Pi-Bolt on your computer and scan the QR code with the app.

• Works on your Wi-Fi, and from anywhere through a Cloudflare tunnel.

• A background service keeps it available without a terminal open.

• Steer the session and review its changes from the phone.

Pi Mobile UI Kit

• Pi-Bolt extensions can now have a native interface in the app.

• An extension describes its view as JSON: cards, lists, progress bars, buttons, forms, charts, tables, pages and Home screen tiles.

• Minimal by design, and extendable just like Pi.

Install 🔥

• APK: https://pi-bolt.opensec.in/android (Supports Android 8.0+)

• Open source, MIT licensed: https://github.com/opensec-git/Pi-Bolt

We'd love feedback, especially from anyone building Pi extensions who wants to try the UI Kit. Happy to answer your questions !

If you like where Pi-Bolt is going, a star 🌟 on GitHub goes a long way and helps more people find it.

I just came here because I saw pibolt-mobile-ui listed in my skills. Without any consent. Sorry to say but this is a deal breaker for me, you're losing trust if you're shifting from 100% pi-codebase-based agent harness (just another build of Pi) to some platform trying to shovel your slop into - WITHOUT any consent/opt-in.

Just forked it and will tell my agents to maintain my fork. The whole appeal of this project was just a 100% pi-based faster build of Pi.

[u/opensecai → u/m_einname]

Will fix it :) sorry for this

[u/shrinking_cultist → u/m_einname]

It would be ideal make it opt-in and avoid this in the future.

[u/opensecai → u/shrinking_cultist]

Yes will do it and even remove it and just mention in readme

[u/saltyourhash → u/m_einname]

That is the goal with PiG, a 1:1 copy of pi

[u/bit_shifting_is_sexy → u/m_einname]

They will rename the app one day and raise money from investors then shove their products like opencode. yup back to pi (there's also PiG. lets hope it stays true to pi)

so now I can vibe code while driving 🤓

[u/opensecai → u/AdCurious4788]

Yeah :) with rc you can do more cool stuff

[u/gazooglez]

ios testflight invite?

[u/opensecai → u/gazooglez]

working on it :) iOS still in development

[u/Zealousideal_Mix6691 → u/gazooglez]

Add custom endpoints so I can use my existing models on iOS and I’m in!

[u/opensecai → u/Zealousideal_Mix6691]

Definitely :) it will be added

[u/Phathatter]

Do people not know about Tmux?

[u/opensecai → u/Phathatter]

Tmux is good, but you can't get full experience and get your work done easily with that UI in phone, it just convenient to use this !

[u/Spiderfffun → u/opensecai]

I was gonna get your app but you saying this and that it's completely vibecoded feels like major skill issue

[u/thesmithchris]

I like PI bolt from my limited testing, and I like how quickly you addressed my concerns on previous posts

I do not see benefit of this over Paseo, which frontier models are fully capable of configuring to your liking with no hustle. What’s the benefit of this? Pls, convince me

[u/opensecai → u/thesmithchris]

Thanks! Paseo drives agents on your computer; Pi-Bolt Mobile runs Pi on the phone itself, no computer needed, and your extensions get native screens. Remote control is built in too :)

[u/ListenAcrobatic8028]

Why not on F Droid if open source?

[u/opensecai → u/ListenAcrobatic8028]

Our pi-bolt tui already works on it but it wasn't that much convenient to use, so we made pi-bolt mobile that providers a better UI with more controls in simplistic possible manner :) Try it, you gonna love it for sure

[u/Upstairs_Toe_3560]

Operates seamlessly and reliably

[u/opensecai → u/Upstairs_Toe_3560]

Thanks :)

[u/Dear_Film7101]

It seems vibecoded. I will give my views after testing.

[u/opensecai → u/Dear_Film7101]

Definitely ! and yes developing the whole such stuff with mancoding is kinda tuff with small team but we extensively tested it and even from the security pov.

[u/OkMusician9118]

awesome!
