The first mobile IDE that starts agents from scratch on your repo

Treena, a phone-first coding IDE, launches as the first mobile IDE that lets users start coding agents from scratch on their own GitHub repository, providing a full workspace with terminal, files, diffs, and commits without requiring a laptop. The platform supports model choice including Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and aims to make mobile a first-class environment for building and shipping code.

Treena is a phone-first coding IDE where you connect a GitHub repo, spin up agents from zero, and get a full workspace with terminal, files, diffs, and commits. No laptop required.

Treena

Most "code on your phone" products are either a thin chat client or a scaled-down view of a desktop app. Treena is different. It is a real mobile IDE built so you can start coding agents from scratch on your own repository, right from your pocket.

No half-finished desktop session. No laptop left open at home. Connect the repo, start the agent, ship.

First of its kind: agents from zero on a phone #

Until recently, serious agent workflows assumed a desk. You spun something up on a laptop, then maybe peeked at progress from mobile. Treena flips that.

On Treena you can:

  • Sign in with GitHub and pick a repository
  • Get a fresh cloud workspace cloned from that repo Start an agent from scratch with a plain-language task- Plan or let it act, then review, commit, and push

That full loop is designed for a phone screen, not bolted on later.

A complete IDE experience, not a chat box #

Agents need a real environment. Treena includes the surfaces developers actually use:

Terminal for installs, tests, scripts, and CLI toolsFile tree so you can navigate the project like you would on a laptopChanges and diffs so you see exactly what the agent editedCommit history so shipping is part of the product, not an afterthoughtModel choice so you pick Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more, including bring-your-own-key

You steer. The cloud machine does the heavy lifting. The phone stays the control surface.

Why "from scratch" matters #

If you can only continue a job that started on a laptop, mobile is still a second screen. If you can open the repo cold and start an agent, mobile becomes a first-class place to build. That is the bet: incidents, ideas, and side projects do not wait for you to sit down. Your IDE should not either.

Built for how shipping actually works #

Done is not a clever reply in a thread. Done looks like:

  • Tests run in the workspace
  • Diff reviewed on the device
  • Commit created
  • Push to GitHub

Treena is aimed at that outcome, end to end.

Join early #

We are opening carefully. If you want to start agents on your repo from your phone, join the waitlist.

No laptop required. Your repo is enough.
