A full-fledged IDE for building Magisk, KernelSU and APatch modules — right on your Android device. No PC needed.
NextMod IDE (NXI) is a mobile development environment for root modules. It covers the full module-creation cycle for Magisk / KernelSU / APatch without a computer: metadata, scripts, overlays, building, validation and installation — all on your phone.
Built for people who write modules on the go, on a tablet, or simply without access to a PC.
