Pi-Bolt,
in your pocket.
The Pi coding agent runs on the phone itself: projects with their files, bash, git, ripgrep and fd, your own model provider keys, sessions you can resume and fork. No computer, no Termux. And when you are at your desk, the same app remote-controls Pi-Bolt on your computer, paired by QR code and end to end encrypted.
Scan this with your phone's camera to open this page there; the download starts on its own.

Four steps.
A few minutes.
- 01
Download
Tap Download the APK on your phone. Android may warn that the file can harm your device: it is an app from outside the Play Store, so tap Download anyway.
- 02
Install
Open the file. The first time, Android asks to allow installs from your browser: allow it, go back, and tap Install.
- 03
Add a model key
The first start asks for a key from a model provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter and others). It stays on the phone, in Pi's own
auth.json. - 04
Start a project
Make a new project or clone one from git, and ask Pi. To drive your computer's Pi-Bolt instead, run
/remote-controlthere and scan its QR code from the app.
