Launch and monitor Cloud Agents
Choose a repository and model, describe the task, and launch a Cloud Agent from your phone. Follow progress, inspect results, and queue additional instructions while work is running.
Kilo Mobile
Kilo Mobile is a companion app for Kilo’s AI coding platform on iPhone, iPad, and Android. It lets developers launch Cloud Agents, control supported CLI and VS Code sessions, respond to agent requests, and review GitHub pull requests from a mobile device.
What is Kilo Mobile?
Kilo Mobile is a companion app for Kilo’s AI coding workflow on iPhone, iPad, and Android. It lets developers start Cloud Agents from a mobile device, continue supported CLI and VS Code sessions running on a computer, and stay available when an agent needs a response.
The app extends work across Kilo’s mobile, IDE, CLI, and cloud surfaces under one Kilo account. Its mobile workflow covers agent instructions and progress tracking as well as GitHub pull-request review, including diffs, checks, threaded discussion, review submission, and merging.
Mobile coding workflow features
Control desktop sessions
Connect to supported Kilo CLI or VS Code sessions on a computer, send instructions, inspect diffs, and use slash commands on a connected CLI instance.
Review and merge GitHub pull requests
Open GitHub pull requests, inspect checks and syntax-highlighted diffs, leave line comments, submit reviews, reply in threads, and merge from the app.
Receive agent notifications
Configurable push notifications can signal when a session needs input, reaches a milestone, or the account balance is low. The Active now tray keeps live work accessible.
Use voice, attachments, and sharing
Dictate prompts, attach files to a session, or share text, links, and files into Kilo from another app.
Review on iPad
Use side-by-side diffs on iPad for a larger-screen pull-request review experience.
Where Kilo Mobile fits
Start coding work away from a desk
Start a repository task by selecting a model, describing the work, and launching a Cloud Agent. Monitor progress and add follow-up instructions while away from the desktop.
Continue an in-progress desktop session
Pair with a CLI or VS Code session already running on a computer to send additional instructions, review diffs, and keep a long-running task moving during travel or a change of location.
Handle pull-request review on mobile
Open a GitHub pull request from a phone or iPad, check its status and changes, discuss specific lines, submit a review, and merge when the review is complete.
Handle agent requests remotely
Respond promptly when an agent pauses for input or reaches a milestone by using notifications, dictated prompts, attachments, or shared content from another app.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Launch Cloud Agents and send follow-up instructions without opening a laptop.
- Continue supported Kilo CLI and VS Code sessions from a phone or tablet.
- Review GitHub pull requests with checks, diffs, comments, reviews, thread replies, and merge actions.
- Use push notifications, voice dictation, file attachments, and system sharing to respond from mobile.
- Works across iPhone, iPad, and Android, with side-by-side diffs on iPad.
Cons
- The page specifies support for GitHub pull-request review, but does not establish equivalent mobile pull-request workflows for other repository providers.
- Desktop-session control depends on supported Kilo CLI or VS Code sessions already running on a computer.
- Cloud compute and AI inference are separate usage-based components in Kilo’s broader pricing model, so mobile access does not by itself describe the total cost of running agents.
FAQ
What can I do with Kilo Mobile?
Kilo Mobile lets you launch Cloud Agents, connect to supported Kilo CLI or VS Code sessions on a computer, review GitHub pull requests, and respond when an agent needs input.
