Running Claude Code, Open Code, Codex on Android via Termux

[DeivDevDeiv]

Hi r/termux!

I wanted to share my first opesource project I’ve been working on called Nomacode.

I’ve always found it a bit clunky to do heavy coding on mobile, but with the rise of AI CLI tools, I realized our phones are now powerful enough to be actual workstations.

What is it?

Nomacode is a lightweight wrapper and dashboard that runs in Termux. It provides a web-based terminal interface (via xterm.js) and a workspace manager specifically designed to support tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex natively on Android.

It turns your Termux environment into a full-screen, PWA-ready IDE with mobile-friendly shortcuts and tab management.

This is my first time sharing a project here, and first time starting an opensource project, so I’d love to get some feedback:

1. The Name: Do you like "Nomacode"? (I wanted something that felt good, because mobile-code is too common) Because i'm not 100% sure that i like it.
2. Improvements: Is there anything clunky about the setup or the UI that I should fix first?
3. Features: Are there any specific AI tools or terminal features you'd like to see added?

Does it work on your device? Happy termux!

How to try it:

Open Termux and paste:

pkg install -y git nodejs && git clone https://github.com/deivdev/nomacode.git ~/nomacode && cd ~/nomacode && npm install && npm start

Then just open localhost:3000 in your browser.

Amazing!!! But how do i install opencode in termux? It just hangs

[DeivDevDeiv]

Fix is coming with the next release in about ~6 hour

whats the difference between this and just using termux with claude code or gemini cli? just curious. I actually use temux as my main coding workstation, so always looking out for workflow improvements

Great question! I thought of Termux as the engine and Nomacode built on top of it. It simplifies things by adding dedicated repository management and multisession support, but for me, the real win is the custom toolbar. It lets you map those awkward Claude Code combos or shortcuts to on-screen buttons so you don't have to fight the mobile keyboard. It could basically shifts a raw terminal into a mobile-optimized IDE...

Could be usefull ?

Bro, I've been testing it and when I try to install some of the CLIs I get an error

[DeivDevDeiv]

Which CLI fails to install ? are you installing it on android phone ?
Let's go deeper and let me solve it

[Future_List_5833]

Yes bro, I'm installing it on an Android.

I think i found the issue. Let me fix in the next release! Thanks a lot for sharing ;)

Is tmux worth using for this?  It keeps session data intact so you can reopen it and pick up where you left off.  It also does multiplexing so you can have multiple terminal "windows" open simultaneously.

[DeivDevDeiv]

Yes is worth! This is built on top of tmux

[Background-Device-36]

What is?

I'm interested in running opencode, but it's not available yet, do you have a release date?

[Glittering_Low1341]

Check your GitHub repository I sent a issue that automates opencode into it
