AirCodum is a mobile app companion for VS Code, available as a VSC extension and an Android app that lets you send IDE commands, text files and images wirelessly to your VSC workspace from your phone. It also has AI support built-in for QnA and more.
Hey Product Hunt,
Inspired by the classic "Compiling" XKCD comic (https://3d.xkcd.com/303/), I’ve built AirCodum (aircodum.com) – an Android app and VS Code extension that turns your phone into a remote control for VS Code. This is a side-project for my personal productivity that I hope can also benefit others.
With AirCodum, you can:
- Control 800+ VS Code commands right from your phone.
- Send text and image files directly into your workspace and even have the images transcribed using AI. So imagine taking a snapshot of a piece of code from a physical textbook and being directly able to run that inside VS Code.
- Request screenshots from VS Code while AFK and get them delivered to your phone so you can monitor long builds or processes remotely when you're on a coffee break or doing what the XKCD comic shows what you should be doing when your code's compiling :)
- If you’ve got an OpenAI API key, you can even perform QnA over your transferred files and images.
I made this tool to help monitor long builds or tests when I’m AFK, but it’s useful for so much more! It’s super niche, but I hope some of you find it helpful.
Check it out at aircodum.com and let me know what you think. Feedback is very welcome!
