What Is KivyStudioBridge?
KivyStudioBridge is a desktop companion app for the Kivy Studio Android environment. It runs on Windows and takes care of watching your project files, packaging them, and sending them over the network to the Kivy Studio app running on your phone or tablet.

How KivyStudioBridge Works with Kivy Studio
The bridge is designed to disappear into the background – once configured, it simply moves your code between Windows and Android so Kivy Studio can reload it.
- 1. Open Your ProjectPoint KivyStudioBridge at the same project folder used by the Kivy Studio Android app.
- 2. Connect DeviceMake sure your Android device is running Kivy Studio and reachable via Wi‑Fi or USB (depending on setup).
- 3. Edit in Your Favorite IDEUse VS Code, PyCharm, or any editor on Windows. The bridge detects file saves and syncs them to the device.
- 4. Watch Kivy Studio ReloadEach time files arrive, Kivy Studio reloads your app, giving you a live preview on Android with almost zero friction.
