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

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 tools**File tree** so you can navigate the project like you would on a laptop**Changes and diffs** so you see exactly what the agent edited**Commit history** so shipping is part of the product, not an afterthought**Model 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](/#waitlist).

No laptop required. Your repo is enough.
