Alfred Mobile

Alfred Linux on Android — no root required. 308-line installer for Termux + proot-distro.

Run Alfred IDE, Alfred Voice, and Alfred Search on any Android device via Termux. Full Debian Bookworm environment with AI tools — no rooting, no flashing, no custom ROM. Works on Samsung DeX for desktop-class IDE experience.

How It Works

The installer (install-alfred-mobile.sh) uses:

Termux: Android terminal emulator (F-Droid build)
proot-distro: Userspace Linux containers (no root)
Debian Bookworm: Full Debian installed inside proot

The script installs a complete Debian environment and then layers Alfred components on top:

Alfred IDE (code-server) — browser-based VS Code
Alfred Search (Meilisearch) — offline instant search
Alfred Voice (Kokoro TTS) — offline text-to-speech
Convenience commands: alfred, alfred-ide, alfred-info

Installation

# On Android, in Termux:
curl -fsSL https://alfredlinux.com/downloads/install-alfred-mobile.sh | bash

Or download and inspect first:

curl -fsSL https://alfredlinux.com/downloads/install-alfred-mobile.sh -o install.sh
less install.sh   # inspect the script
bash install.sh

Commands After Install

Command	Action
`alfred`	Enter the Alfred Linux shell
`alfred-ide`	Launch Alfred IDE (opens in browser)
`alfred-info`	Show status of all Alfred services

Samsung DeX

On Samsung devices with DeX, alfred-ide opens a full desktop IDE in the browser — multi-window, keyboard, mouse. Tested on Samsung Galaxy S-series and Tab S-series.
