Overview

Native desktop app (Flutter) and CLI that run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and other agent CLIs in tmux sessions on your own machines. A per-machine daemon dials out and links machines over end-to-end encrypted WebRTC, with TURN and relay fallbacks. A Store adds domain harnesses such as Blender, KiCad and Typst, each with a live viewer.

Who it is for: Developers running several coding agents across laptops, servers and GPU boxes

Strengths

  • Runs agent CLIs unmodified in tmux, using vendor transcripts and hooks rather than wrappers
  • End-to-end encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305, X25519); relay forwards ciphertext only
  • Machines link by password with no SSH keys, Tailscale or open ports
  • Whole stack is MIT in one repo: app, CLI, daemon, relay and device firmware

Weaknesses

  • Desktop app targets macOS and Linux only; no Windows build is listed
  • Building from source needs Node 20+, tmux, Xcode and Flutter 3.47+
  • Remote links depend on the vendor's relay and Cloudflare TURN as fallbacks
  • Agent Messages between harnesses is experimental and off by default

What it needs

  • GPU optional
  • Needs tmux, Node.js 20+, Flutter 3.47+ (build from source), Xcode (build from source)
  • Models: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes
