_{Six themes generated from one-line prompts in Settings → Appearance: midnight ocean, warm kiln, Tokyo rain, deep-space nebula, paper and ink, pine forest.}

Overview

bycoda runs the agent CLIs you already use (Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor,
OpenCode and others) and puts their sessions next to the project they work on. You
read the conversation, open the files it touched, run commands and review the diff
without switching tools. Authentication and model access come from your own
provider accounts; bycoda does not proxy or resell AI access.

It is built with Tauri (Rust) and React, with a Node Host process that owns
sessions, projects and remote connections.

Features

Sessions — run several agents side by side, keep history per project, resume
later. Import existing local Claude Code and Codex conversations.
Workspace — file explorer, editor, document previews and terminals scoped to
the project.
Source control — Git changes, diffs, worktrees and review alongside each session.
Tasks and automations — track agent work through review; schedule recurring
runs.
Remote projects — connect to a Host on another machine and work with its
projects and sessions. See remote access.
Appearance — light and dark schemes, palettes, fonts, density and live
backgrounds. Describe a theme in words and a model of your choice proposes a
complete look.
Localization — multiple interface languages.

Feature availability and model options depend on the provider integration.

Quick start

Requirements:

Node.js 24.11 or newer (see .nvmrc)
pnpm, at the version pinned in package.json
Rust and the Tauri prerequisites for your platform
At least one supported provider CLI, installed and signed in

git clone https://github.com/bahadryalcn/bycoda.git
cd bycoda
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm run tauri dev

On first launch, setup walks through Connect → Agents → Projects: choose this
computer or a remote Host, check installed provider CLIs, then add a project folder
or import existing conversations. Nothing is installed or imported without your
choice. Details: getting started.

For local packaging and installation on Windows or macOS, see
local builds. Release builds update themselves from signed
releases; see releases and updates.
