Writand: An Android IDE for Developers

Light-mode	Dark-mode

Project Overview

Writand is a new integrated development environment (IDE) designed specifically for Android devices. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting, Writand offers an intuitive and powerful platform to code on your Android tablet.

Key features

Writand will provide an easy to use GitHub integration to easily clone repositories, manage branches, and push your code changes directly from your tablet.

It will also have a built-in terminal for providing you with essential command-line capabilities for efficient development.

Multi-Language support is also under progress for programming languages to reach a wide range of developers.

Target Audience

Writand is designed for developers of all levels who are looking for a user-friendly IDE on Android. Whether you're writing code, managing projects, or contributing to open-source, Writand offers the tools you need to work efficiently on the go.

Future

We are committed to improve Writand as a hobby project. Upcoming updates will include enhanced language support, more advanced features, and optimizations to ensure the best possible programming experience on Android.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The minimal APK for Writand is 26, or known as Android 8.0. This is specifically designed for tablets, so using the app on a phone might not be a good user experience. We are not aiming to support phones for now.

Installation

Installing our app will be possible by downloading the APK file from this GitLab repository.
