Set up Kimi Code in four steps
What you need
- Kimi Code installed on your computer, signed in to your Kimi account.
- Kimi Code on your phone, from Google Play.
- Both devices signed in with the same Kimi account.
1 · Turn on remote control
Open Kimi Code on your computer and enable remote control in Settings → Remote control. If you prefer the terminal, run this inside your project directory:
$ kimi rc
Kimi Code prints a pairing code and registers the computer as a device. Leave it running — that machine is now reachable from your phone.
2 · Sign in on your phone
Open Kimi Code and sign in with the same Kimi account you use on the computer. Sign-in happens on Kimi's account page in your browser; the password never passes through the app.
3 · Connect
Your computer shows up in the device list with its name and online status. Tap it and the session opens on your phone — messages, tool calls and terminal output stream back as they happen.
4 · Send your first task
Type what you want done. When a command needs your approval, you get a notification — one tap and the run continues. Files and a full terminal are there when a task needs a closer look.
Troubleshooting
- Device shows offline — check that kimi rc is still running on the computer and both devices are online. Wake the computer and reconnect.
- Wrong account — sign out in Kimi Code and sign in again with the account that owns the Kimi Code session.
- Stuck connection — stop and restart kimi rc, then reconnect from the device list.
