Kiteline now runs as a WeChat Mini Program, so Android users can follow Claude Code from their phone

Kiteline is a tool for managing coding agents: Claude Code, Codex and others do the work on your computer, and you follow progress, reply and approve permissions from your phone. The desktop side (Mac, Windows, Linux) is open source. No API key, no changes to the agents' configuration.

Until now the phone side was iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch only. This week it added a WeChat Mini Program, which means Android users, or anyone who does not want to install an app, can use it inside WeChat.

Pairing

1. Run the desktop side as usual.
2. Open the pairing QR code in its settings.
3. In WeChat, open the Kiteline Mini Program (the code is on the website and in the GitHub README), go to "Pair" and scan the code, or type the address and pairing code by hand.
4. Click "Allow" on the computer.

The pairing is stored on the phone only. There is also a demo mode, so you can try every page without a computer.

What it can do

The Mini Program mirrors the iPhone app page by page:

• Session list across agents, computers and projects, grouped by project / agent / computer, with states working / waiting for you / done.
• Conversation view with expandable thinking and tool steps, images, key-info and task-list cards, push-to-talk, sending images, quick phrases, interrupt, copy / quote / favorite.
• Approvals: allow or deny a command or file change, answer the agent's questions.
• Today's usage, history, todos, favorites, inbox, projects, settings.

One thing that is easy to miss: the desktop side can also run on a cloud server. Sessions running there show up in the same list, labelled by source, so you do not need a remote desktop to check on them.

How data travels

• An end-to-end encrypted tunnel between the Mini Program and the computer (X25519 key agreement, HKDF, ChaCha20-Poly1305).
• On the same Wi-Fi it connects to the computer directly, with no server in between.
• Away from home it goes through a relay that only forwards ciphertext.
• It never reads or stores the agents' credentials, and Claude is still accessed only from the computer.

Pricing

Free on the same Wi-Fi. Remote access requires Kiteline Pro, bought inside the Mini Program with WeChat Pay. That subscription is separate from the iPhone / iPad one and not transferable, because the two payment systems settle independently.

Honest limits

• No native Android app; Android uses the Mini Program.
• Pro on the Mini Program and Pro on iPhone are bought separately.

Claude Code is Anthropic's product; Kiteline is an independent third-party tool. iPhone / iPad: search "Kiteline" on the App Store. Android: WeChat Mini Program. Desktop: open source on GitHub (hon6/kiteline).
