Introduction

Welcome to JetWings! Stay connected to your development workflow, even when you're away from your desk.

What is JetWings?​

JetWings is a mobile application that gives you remote control and real-time notifications for your JetBrains IDE. By connecting through a secure backend to a lightweight IDE plugin, JetWings lets you monitor builds, run tests, and execute commands from anywhere—whether you're grabbing coffee, in a meeting, or working remotely.

How It Works​

JetWings consists of three main components that work together seamlessly:

Seamless Connection

Connecting your IDE to your mobile device is effortless:

  • Install the Plugin: Add JetWings to your JetBrains IDE
  • Enter Pairing Code: Open the mobile app and enter the 6-digit code shown in the IDE
  • Instant Pairing: A secure, persistent connection is established immediately

Enterprise-Grade Security

Your code and data remain secure at all times:

  • End-to-End Encryption: All data in transit is encrypted
  • Private Channels: Each connection uses a unique, isolated channel
  • Zero Code Storage: We never store your source code or sensitive data

Key Features​
