Acode lets you run OpenCode, the open-source AI coding agent, natively in a full Alpine Linux terminal. Open source. AI provider costs depend on your chosen backend.
OpenCode is an open-source CLI coding agent. To run it on Android, you need a terminal and a supported AI backend.
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that anyone can run for free. But like other coding agents, it needs a real terminal environment, something Android apps typically don't provide.
Regular Android code editors can't help. They can edit text, but they can't run CLI tools, install packages, or execute AI agents. They're editors, not development environments.
Acode's Linux terminal lets you run OpenCode alongside your project files and editor on Android.
Acode provides a full Alpine Linux terminal on Android. Install Node.js with apk add nodejs npm git and you have everything needed to clone and run OpenCode.
OpenCode is open source (github.com/anomalyco/opencode) and free to use. AI provider charges may apply, depending on your chosen backend.
OpenCode runs in Acode's terminal as a coding agent. It can create, edit, and manage files across your project. View every change in Acode's editor with full syntax highlighting.
Choose a cloud AI provider or a local model. Costs and internet requirements depend on that choice.
Install Acode: Download Acode from Google Play or F-Droid.
Initialize the Terminal: Tap the terminal icon in Acode. Alpine Linux will install via proot on first launch. Takes about 60 seconds.
Install Dependencies: Run in Acode's terminal: apk update && apk add nodejs npm git
Clone or Install OpenCode: Clone the OpenCode repository: git clone https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode.git
Or follow the project's installation guide for the latest instructions. Install dependencies with npm.
Configure Your AI Provider: OpenCode supports multiple AI backends. Set your API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or others) as an environment variable: export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key-here
Or configure a local model for fully offline AI coding.
Run OpenCode: Start OpenCode in Acode's terminal. It can now access your files, create new code, and help you develop, all from your Android phone. Use acode . to open your project in the editor.
Acode's core editor and OpenCode are free and open source. AI provider charges may apply.
OpenCode supports multiple AI backends, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and local models. You're not locked into one provider. Switch anytime based on your needs.
Both Acode and OpenCode are open source. Every line of code is visible and auditable. No black boxes. No hidden telemetry.
OpenCode runs in Acode's terminal while you edit files in the editor. Use the acode CLI to open files and folders from the terminal in the editor.
Beyond AI coding, Acode gives you a complete Alpine Linux system. Install any package with apk. Use Git, Python, compilers, and databases.
Both Acode (5,500+ GitHub stars) and OpenCode are community projects. Contribute to either, build plugins, and help improve both projects.
OpenCode itself is free and open source. AI provider charges or subscription fees may apply, depending on the backend you choose. Check that provider's pricing before connecting it.
If you configure OpenCode to use a local AI model (running in Acode's terminal or on a local server), it can work offline. With cloud AI providers, an internet connection is needed.
Claude Code is Anthropic's proprietary tool tied to their API. OpenCode is community-built, supports multiple AI backends, and is fully open source. Both run in Acode's terminal. You can use whichever fits your workflow.
Yes. Acode's proot-based Alpine Linux terminal provides a complete Linux environment. You can install Node.js, Python, compilers, and any CLI tool. It handles AI agent workloads without issues.
Acode is free and open source under the MIT license. Optional in-app purchases are available for premium features, but the core editor, terminal, and plugin system are completely free.
Yes! Clone the OpenCode repo in Acode's terminal, make changes in the editor, test in the terminal, and push back to GitHub, all from your phone.
Acode is free, open source, and trusted by 3.6M+ developers. Get it now.
