Curator's take

For developers who run OpenCode all day and have outgrown the terminal: parallel sessions across projects in one window, git-worktree awareness for agent branches, a password-protected server mode for driving sessions from any browser, and quality-of-life extras (voice input, SideCars for embedding local web tools). NOT useful if OpenCode isn't your driver — it's a cockpit for that engine specifically, not a general agent UI; and it's young (2k stars), so expect rough edges alongside the fast release cadence.

Getting Started

🖥️ Desktop App

Available as both Electron and Tauri builds — choose based on your preference.

Download the latest installer for your platform from Releases.

Platform Formats
macOS DMG, ZIP (Universal: Intel + Apple Silicon)
Windows NSIS Installer, ZIP (x64, ARM64)
Linux AppImage, deb, tar.gz (x64, ARM64)

💻 CodeNomad Server

Run as a local server and access via browser. Perfect for remote development.

npx @neuralnomads/codenomad --password <your-password> --launch

Authentication required: The server requires a password on first run. You can pass it via --password, the CODENOMAD_SERVER_PASSWORD environment variable, or create an auth.json file (see Server Documentation).

Self-signed certificate: On first launch with HTTPS enabled (the default), your browser will show a "Your connection is not private" warning. This is expected — the server generates a local self-signed certificate automatically. Click Advanced → Proceed to localhost to continue. For local-only use without the warning, run with --https=false --http=true.

See Server Documentation for flags, TLS, auth, and remote access.

🧪 Dev Releases

Bleeding-edge builds from the dev branch:

npx @neuralnomads/codenomad-dev --password <your-password> --launch

SideCars

SideCars let you open local web tools inside CodeNomad as tabs.

Configuration
  • Name: Display name used in CodeNomad
  • Port: Local HTTP or HTTPS service running on 127.0.0.1:<port>
  • Base path: Mounted under /sidecars/:id
  • Prefix mode:
    • Preserve prefix forwards the full /sidecars/:id/... path upstream
    • Strip prefix removes /sidecars/:id before forwarding the request upstream
VSCode (OpenVSCode Server)

Run with Docker:

docker run -it --init -p 8000:3000 -v "${HOME}:${HOME}:cached" -e HOME=${HOME} gitpod/openvscode-server --server-base-path /sidecars/vscode

Add SideCar as:

  • Name: VSCode
  • Port: http://127.0.0.1:8000
  • Base path: /sidecars/vscode
  • Prefix mode: Preserve prefix
Terminal (ttyd)

Run with:

ttyd --writable zsh

Add SideCar as:

  • Name: Terminal
  • Port: http://127.0.0.1:7681
  • Base path: /sidecars/terminal
  • Prefix mode: Strip prefix

Requirements

  • OpenCode CLI — must be installed and in your PATH
  • Node.js 18+ — for server mode or building from source
