Your backlog is infinite. Your back isn't.
Nomad turns your Android phone into a full coding workstation via RustDesk. Auto portrait mode, voice transcription, Joy-Con gamepad. Code from anywhere.
Free beta — limited spots. Be first to try Nomad.
Not a Mobile IDE. Your Full Desktop.
Nomad doesn't run code on your phone. It streams your full desktop to it.

Built by a Daily Commuter
45-minute train commute. Every day. That's 7.5 hours per week of dead time — unless you code.
- — Nomad was built because I needed it myself
- — Every feature was tested on real commutes, on a real phone
- — Voice-first workflow: dictate code changes hands-free on the train
- — Joy-Con controller fits in a pocket — no laptop bag needed
How It Works
Connect
Open RustDesk on your phone. Nomad detects the connection, rotates your screen to portrait, and zooms for readability.
Code
Start a voice call. Your speech is transcribed locally via Whisper — zero cloud, zero latency. Use Joy-Con for navigation.
Disconnect
Close RustDesk. Nomad restores landscape orientation and original zoom. Like you never left.
One Config File. Full Control.
Everything is a TOML key. Override any setting with environment variables.

FAQ
What is RustDesk?
Open-source remote desktop software (like TeamViewer, but free). Nomad adds phone-optimized automation on top.
Do I need Linux?
V1.0 supports Linux with X11 or Wayland. Windows support is planned for V1.5.
How does voice transcription work?
Runs locally via Whisper. Audio is routed through a PipeWire virtual mic. No cloud, no latency.
Is a Joy-Con required?
No. Voice input works without a gamepad. Joy-Con adds physical controls for cursor and shortcuts.
How does licensing work?
Activate via the Settings UI or CLI. Your license covers 3 devices (desktop + phone + spare). Works offline for 7 days between server checks.
Monthly vs lifetime?
5€/month, cancel anytime. Or 50€ once and own it forever. Both include all features and future updates.
What if I'm offline?
Nomad works offline for up to 7 days between server checks. No internet required for daily use.
