About Acode

Acode is a code editor for Android that brings a full Alpine Linux terminal to the phone. From it you can work with Node.js, React, Next.js, Python and Git, and run command-line AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.

More than 250 plugins extend the editor. The project is open source and reports over 3.6 million downloads. It suits developers who want to write and run code on an Android phone or tablet rather than only view it.
