How to Run Google Antigravity AI on Android with a Native Web GUI (No PC or VNC)

Google Antigravity is a powerful autonomous AI coding assistant. While primarily designed for desktop environments, you can actually run it 100% natively on Android inside Termux, complete with Google's official desktop Web GUI accessible directly in your mobile browser at http://localhost:4400.

In this tutorial, we will set up the standalone environment without needing a PC, cloud relays, VNC viewers, or heavy Linux PRoot containers.

Prerequisites

An Android device (ARM64 / aarch64).
Termux installed (from F-Droid or GitHub, not the outdated Play Store version).
An active internet connection.

Step 1: One-Line Automated Installation

Open Termux and run the automated installation script from the open-source repository:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dsundaravadhanan/Antigravity-for-Android/main/install.sh | bash

What this script configures under the hood:

Native Android Bionic Engine: Installs Google's official native ARM64 Android binary with zero glibc overhead.
Termux PATH Linking: Symlinks the binary to $PREFIX/bin/agy so you never encounter command not found.
Browser OAuth Bridge: Bridges xdg-open to termux-open-url so sign-in tabs open seamlessly in Chrome.
Latency Fixes: Sets IPv4 DNS precedence and dual-stack localhost mapping to prevent slow startup on mobile carrier data.
Background Daemon: Installs termux-wake-lock integration to stop Android battery optimizers from killing background sessions.

Step 2: Google Account Authentication

When the script finishes, launch the Web GUI:

   agy-gui

Your mobile browser will automatically open to http://localhost:4400/onboard.
Tap Continue with Google to complete standard Google OAuth sign-in.
Once authenticated, your local session is securely saved in ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/ with restricted permissions (chmod 600).

Step 3: Install as a Standalone Android App

You can convert the Web GUI into a dedicated full-screen app on your phone:

In Chrome at http://localhost:4400, tap the three dots menu (⋮) in the top right.
Select Install app (or Add to Home screen).
Tap Install.

The official Google Antigravity icon will now be on your Android launcher, opening in full-screen standalone mode without any browser URL bars.

Daily Usage

Foreground Mode (live terminal output):

  agy-gui

Background Daemon Mode (allows minimizing Termux while coding):

  agy-service start   # Starts server and opens Chrome
  agy-service status  # Checks background status
  agy-service logs    # Views recent server output
  agy-service stop    # Stops background server

Building StickyShell: A Desktop Sticky Note That Runs Shell Commands

RadnusD — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:29:22 +0000

Have you ever found yourself juggling terminal commands, curl one-liners, Docker snippets, and diagnostic scripts across ten different browser tabs, text files, and sticky notes?

I kept running into this issue during daily development. Traditional sticky notes are great for quick thoughts, but useless when you actually want to run a command. Full IDEs and terminals are powerful, but too heavy for quick throwaway scratchpads.

To bridge this gap, I built StickyShell — a 10 MB cross-platform desktop sticky note that doubles as an instant executable shell scratchpad.

What Makes It Different?

1. Dual Execution Modes

Inline Capture Mode (Ctrl + Enter): Runs the command in the background and renders stdout and stderr directly into a slide-out drawer with a 1-click copy button.
External System Console (Ctrl + Shift + Enter): Spawns an interactive terminal window for interactive workflows.

2. Persistent Accidental Delete Recovery

Ever closed a sticky note and immediately lost that important snippet? StickyShell maintains an active undo stack that persists even across full application restarts. Pressing Ctrl + Z brings back your deleted note.

3. LaTeX Math & Markdown Checklists

Write formatted notes, task checklists, and complex mathematical formulas with built-in instant KaTeX rendering.

4. 100% Offline & Private

Zero accounts, zero telemetry, zero remote tracking.
All notes and configurations are stored purely on your local hard drive in clean JSON files.

Tech Stack & Architecture

Backend: Built with Rust and Tauri v2 for sub-millisecond startup times, minimal memory consumption, and a tiny installer size (~3.2 MB).
Frontend: Clean vanilla JavaScript and hardened Content Security Policy (CSP).

Cross-platform binaries are also available for Windows (.exe / .msi), macOS (.dmg), and Linux (.AppImage / .deb / .rpm):
