ProotCode
A portable Linux development workspace for Android.
ProotCode is an open-source Kotlin app that runs Debian and Ubuntu environments without root using proot. It is built for developers who want a real Linux toolchain on a phone or tablet: apt, Git, build tools, multiple terminals, and Code Server in the browser.
No account, no telemetry, no tracking. Everything runs on your device.
warning
ProotCode is at an early stage. This documentation describes the architecture and roadmap; the Linux runtime is not implemented yet.
Why ProotCode
- Rootless — no bootloader unlock, no root, no custom ROM.
- Isolated — only the Android folders you bind are visible inside Linux.
- Portable — projects and configuration live in a persistent home directory.
- Open source — AGPL-3.0, no closed components required.
