Kiro launches an Android app to follow and steer cloud coding agents

Kiro, the agentic IDE built by AWS, launched Kiro Mobile for Android on Google Play, announced on November 12, 2026 in the Kiro Mobile for Android changelog entry. The app lets subscribers follow, steer and review cloud coding-agent sessions from their phone without keeping a laptop powered on.

What changes with Kiro Mobile for Android

• The Android app is now available on Google Play.
• Using it requires a Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, or Power subscription plan.
• Signing in syncs sessions, connected repositories and model preferences across web, IDE, CLI and mobile.
• Users can start new cloud sessions or resume existing ones, choose repositories and models, and turn on Build with spec planning from the phone.
• File changes show up as phone-sized diff cards, and sessions display pull request status with merged and open counts.
• Users can attach images and answer agent questions from the app, but review and merging still happen through their Git provider.

What it means for people who build with AI

The launch extends agentic coding workflows beyond the desktop, letting developers check in on long-running cloud coding agents from a phone instead of keeping a laptop on, a pattern that is becoming more common among coding-agent vendors. Because sign-in syncs sessions, repositories and model preferences across web, IDE, CLI and mobile, a developer can start a session at a desk, step away, and still answer an agent's question or review a diff from a phone before the work reaches their Git provider for merging.
