About Horus
Horus sets up an Alpine Linux ARM64 workspace on an Android phone, where users can run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or a zsh shell. It includes a PRoot runtime, terminal, and project tools for creating folders or cloning repositories.
An optional CLI enables SSH access, file copying, port forwarding, and commands over USB. The Alpine system, packages, and coding agents are downloaded from upstream sources at runtime.
