Any mobile-friendly, feature-rich, self-hosted IDE??

I do some side-projects with termux+neovim on my phone at my work where I cannot use desktop.

What I usually do is editing/reading documents and giving prompts to AI agents. Sometimes I have to directly edit files (secrets or very small code changes) on my computer.

I've tried:

1. Claude remote and notion/obsidian
2. : Giving works to agents was very easy, and Notion gives me rich documentation experience, but MCP was too heavy and I could not edit files directly.
3. Lunel
4. : This was the closest environment to what I wanted. I can access to project on my computer easily on android phone. It can detect ai agent runtimes on my computer. But features are not rich. I can access to only one project at a time while I handle 4 projects. File browsing is fast, but not very convenient. It would be much better if there was tab feature which enable users to swtich files easily.
5. code-server with cloudflare tunnel+access.
6. : Very rich features, but I felt it was not optimized well for mobile. Even on desktop was not very good though. The extensions do not work very well(especially, ai chatting).

Usimg termux+neovim is the best for me so far, as I can do whatever I wanna do, and extremely light. But Isn't there any better way really??

I want it be:
\- mobile-friendly
\- directly editing document files on my computer
\- using AI agent chatting(like on zed), CLI
\- self-hosted


If can,
\- pretty documentation UI
\- geting build artifacts
\- debugging
\- literally these features are "integrated" in one system.

Well.... I know I'm saying too much, and I could have not found it yet. But I think it's possible that is because my searching skill was not very good. What do you guys use for development on your phone? Is there something I've missed? Or do I just have to stick with Termux and get used to Neovim? 😂
