🚀 Koda Dev v1.1.0: Full IDE Code Editor & Liquid Glass Design
Koda Dev v1.1.0 is our largest milestone yet! This release transforms Koda Dev into a complete mobile IDE with a built-in multi-tab code editor, debuts the Apple-inspired Liquid Glass design system with hardware backdrop blur and AGSL lens refraction, introduces an in-workspace terminal sheet, real-time context window meter & auto-compaction, and live mid-run agent steering.
🌟 Highlights
📝 Full IDE Code Editor
- Multi-Tab Workspace: Open, edit, and switch between files with tab state indicators and quick close actions.
- Synchronized Gutter & Syntax: Clean monospace coding canvas with synchronized line number gutters.
- Mobile Accessory Bar: Fast access to essential code syntax symbols (
{ },( ),;,->,=,[ ],",',$). - Responsive Split View: Seamless transition between single-pane mobile view and dual-pane split view on landscape and large screens.
- File Explorer: Integrated file tree, breadcrumbs, search, and new file/folder management.
💎 Liquid Glass Design System
- Hardware Optics: Hardware-accelerated
RenderEffectbackdrop blur, AGSL signed distance field (SDF) lens refraction, and internal specular highlight sheens. - Floating Capsule UI: Floating TopAppBars, docked bottom navigation bars, and unified input capsules with frosted micro-glass cards.
- Tactile Physics: Interactive spring-press animations (
springPressClickable) matching modern physical fluid design. - Dynamic Edge-to-Edge: Full system bar insets and translucent navigation bars across all Android 8.0–15+ devices.
💻 In-Workspace Terminal Bottom Sheet
- Instant Linux Terminal: Slide-up Ubuntu 24.04 PRoot terminal accessible right from Chat and Editor without losing your flow.
- Keyboard-Aware Elevation: The terminal dynamically lifts above the soft keyboard and supports multi-session tabs.
- Frosted Accessory Keys: Ergonomic keys (
ESC,TAB,CTRL,CTRL-C, arrow keys, pipe|).
🧠 Autonomous Agent Upgrades
- Real-Time Context Window Meter: Live token gauge inside the input capsule displaying active memory consumption (e.g.
22k/256k). - Autonomous Auto-Compaction Guard: Proactively compacts conversation history at 80% capacity to prevent LLM context blowouts.
- Live Mid-Run Steering: Provide guidance or adjust agent direction mid-generation without cancelling the session.
- Interactive Diff Review: In-chat inline diff cards and bottom sheet diff inspector for visual code review before saving to disk.
- Foreground Service Host: Unbounded agent runs protected with CPU wake locks against Android OS background kills.
- Command Timeline & Log Truncation: Explicit command execution display in the activity timeline with expandable "Show more" logs.
🤖 AI Providers & Connectivity
- Koda Community Free (Keyless): Out-of-the-box free AI provider (Kilo Free) pre-configured with zero setup required.
- Official NVIDIA NIM Integration: Instant access to fast Nemotron reasoning and vision models.
- Antiroute QR Scanner: 1-tap CameraX QR code pairing for local Ollama / Antiroute tunnels.
