This is just a plugin IDEA. The concept is straightforward: developers could trigger essential IDE actions from their phones, including: - Building projects - Running test suites - Executing git operations - And more… The implementation would consist of two components: 1. An IDE plugin that establishes a secure connection (via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) 2. A mobile application available for both iOS and Android platforms Users would have full control over which IDE actions can be triggered remotely, allowing for a customized and secure workflow. This bridge between mobile and IDE could significantly enhance developer productivity, especially when away from the keyboard. The vision has been in my mind for a while, and I’m looking forward to bringing it to life when time permits. ---

I really like this idea and would love to alpha/beta test it. Have you considered leveraging anything existing to help bootstrap the idea and/or validate it at all? ---

Hi @chriscarini No didn’t do anything about it yet beside talking with AI on the design… ---

Gotcha - I wonder if something like MCP could perhaps be leveraged here. Have you explored that at all? ---

Do you have some use cases in mind? I mean, I’m not sure if I can imagine a situation where I would trigger a build from my smartphone, run tests, things like that. ---

Yes plenty 😂 1. Opening a project - basic action for large projects this can save the indexing time 2. Before push operation I use to run the tests locally - if passes I am pushing to the remote - but sometimes I ran the test and have to do just this simple operation to push 3. Build - sometimes I wish I could build on my way to work (our build can take up to 20 minutes…) so when I am arriving my env is ready Just a few but there are more… If GitHub has this ability in their app I don’t see why it can be in the ide… ---

In pursuit of saving time when I get on my dev machine, I’d love to have an IJ plugin project open, fetch the new platform version (download, index, etc) and attempt a build so that when I am back, I am in a more ‘actionable’ state (that is, I see the build passed/failed, and can proceed from there; as opposed to having to do the aforementioned steps and wait). ---

Hi all, I was looking for information on the platform, and by chance I noticed this topic. I am developing such plugin right now. I am happy to announce that the first version of the plugin will be released very soon and will support Gradle, Terminal and partially VCS operations. iOS, Android, and +1 bot in a messaging platform. ---

Need to share this POC I just did and it seems like this is completely possible: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/jetbrains_platform/original/2X/9/90ffdf767cad42cef869d742aa540f700a0aba6f.jpeg "IJMobile") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxJxwHiEjcs) This is going to be a game changer for me…. ---
