-
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Pixcode (Recommended)
-
-The fastest way to get started — no local setup required. Get a fully managed, containerized development environment accessible from the web, mobile app, API, or your favorite IDE.
-
-**[Get started with Pixcode](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)**
-
-
-### Self-Hosted (Open source)
-
-#### npm
-
-Try Pixcode instantly with **npx** (requires **Node.js** v22+):
-
-```
-npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
-```
-
-Or install **globally** for regular use:
-
-```
-npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
-pixcode
-```
-
-Open `http://localhost:3001` — all your existing sessions are discovered automatically.
-
-Visit the **[documentation →](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** for full configuration options, PM2, remote server setup and more.
-
-#### Keep It Running On Linux (VDS / SSH-safe)
-
-If you run Pixcode over SSH and your terminal disconnects, foreground processes like `npm run dev` will stop.  
-Use the built-in daemon manager to run Pixcode as a persistent service:
-
-```bash
-# Default behavior on Linux (auto-daemon):
-pixcode
-
-# Explicit install (recommended on first setup):
-pixcode daemon install --mode auto --port 3001
-pixcode daemon status --mode auto
-pixcode daemon doctor --mode auto
-```
-
-Useful commands:
-
-```bash
-pixcode daemon logs --mode auto
-pixcode daemon restart --mode auto
-pixcode daemon stop --mode auto      # temporary stop, auto-start remains enabled
-pixcode daemon disable --mode auto   # disable auto-start at boot
-pixcode daemon uninstall --mode auto
-pixcode update --restart-daemon
-```
-
-Notes:
-- On Linux, `pixcode` now attempts auto-daemon startup by default.
-- `npm run dev`, `npm run start`, and direct server entrypoints now pass through the same auto-daemon behavior.
-- Recommended for always-on server deployments: use `pixcode daemon install`, not `npm run dev`.
-- `--mode user` uses `systemctl --user`, `--mode system` uses system service management, and `--mode auto` chooses the best available mode.
-- Use `pixcode --no-daemon` (or `PIXCODE_NO_DAEMON=1`) to force foreground mode.
-- On some servers you may need to enable linger for boot-time startup without an active login session:
-  `sudo loginctl enable-linger <your-username>`
-
-#### Docker Sandboxes (Experimental)
-
-Run agents in isolated sandboxes with hypervisor-level isolation. Starts Claude Code by default. Requires the [`sbx` CLI](https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/get-started/).
-
-```
-npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@latest sandbox ~/my-project
-```
-
-Supports Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. See the [sandbox docs](docker/) for setup and advanced options.
-
-
----
-
-## Which option is right for you?
-
-Pixcode is the open source UI layer that powers Pixcode. You can self-host it on your own machine, run it in a Docker sandbox for isolation, or use Pixcode for a fully managed environment.
-
-| | Self-Hosted (npm) | Self-Hosted (Docker Sandbox) *(Experimental)* | Pixcode |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| **Best for** | Local agent sessions on your own machine | Isolated agents with web/mobile IDE | Teams who want agents in the cloud |
-| **How you access it** | Browser via `[yourip]:port` | Browser via `localhost:port` | Browser, any IDE, REST API, n8n |
-| **Setup** | `npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode` | `npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@latest sandbox ~/project` | No setup required |
-| **Isolation** | Runs on your host | Hypervisor-level sandbox (microVM) | Full cloud isolation |
-| **Machine needs to stay on** | Yes | Yes | No |
-| **Mobile access** | Any browser on your network | Any browser on your network | Any device, native app coming |
-| **Agents supported** | Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI | Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI | Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI |
-| **File explorer and Git** | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| **MCP configuration** | Synced with `~/.claude` | Managed via UI | Managed via UI |
-| **REST API** | Yes | Yes | Yes |
-| **Team sharing** | No | No | Yes |
-| **Platform cost** | Free, open source | Free, open source | Starts at $7/month |
-
-> All options use your own AI subscriptions (Claude, Cursor, etc.) — Pixcode provides the environment, not the AI.

-
-## Security & Tools Configuration
-
-**🔒 Important Notice**: All Claude Code tools are **disabled by default**. This prevents potentially harmful operations from running automatically.
-
-### Enabling Tools
-
-To use Claude Code's full functionality, you'll need to manually enable tools:
-
-1. **Open Tools Settings** - Click the gear icon in the sidebar
-2. **Enable Selectively** - Turn on only the tools you need
-3. **Apply Settings** - Your preferences are saved locally
-
-<div align="center">
-
-![Tools Settings Modal](public/screenshots/tools-modal.png)
-*Tools Settings interface - enable only what you need*
-
-</div>
-
-**Recommended approach**: Start with basic tools enabled and add more as needed. You can always adjust these settings later.
-
----
-
-## Plugins
-
-Pixcode has a plugin system that lets you add custom tabs with their own frontend UI and optional Node.js backend. Install plugins from git repos directly in **Settings > Plugins**, or build your own.
-
-### Available Plugins
-
-| Plugin | Description |
-|---|---|
-| **[Project Stats](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** | Shows file counts, lines of code, file-type breakdown, largest files, and recently modified files for your current project |
-| **[Web Terminal](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** | Full xterm.js terminal with multi-tab support|
-
-### Build Your Own
-
-**[Plugin Starter Template →](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** — fork this repo to create your own plugin. It includes a working example with frontend rendering, live context updates, and RPC communication to a backend server.
-
-**[Plugin Documentation →](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** — full guide to the plugin API, manifest format, security model, and more.

-## FAQ
-
-<details>
-<summary>How is this different from Claude Code Remote Control?</summary>
-
-Claude Code Remote Control lets you send messages to a session already running in your local terminal. Your machine has to stay on, your terminal has to stay open, and sessions time out after roughly 10 minutes without a network connection.
-
-Pixcode and Pixcode extend Claude Code rather than sit alongside it — your MCP servers, permissions, settings, and sessions are the exact same ones Claude Code uses natively. Nothing is duplicated or managed separately.
-
-Here's what that means in practice:
-
-- **All your sessions, not just one** — Pixcode auto-discovers every session from your `~/.claude` folder. Remote Control only exposes the single active session to make it available in the Claude mobile app.
-- **Your settings are your settings** — MCP servers, tool permissions, and project config you change in Pixcode are written directly to your Claude Code config and take effect immediately, and vice versa.
-- **Works with more agents** — Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI, not just Claude Code.
-- **Full UI, not just a chat window** — file explorer, Git integration, MCP management, and a shell terminal are all built in.
-- **Pixcode runs in the cloud** — close your laptop, the agent keeps running. No terminal to babysit, no machine to keep awake.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary>Do I need to pay for an AI subscription separately?</summary>
-
-Yes. Pixcode provides the environment, not the AI. You bring your own Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini subscription. Pixcode starts at $7/month for the hosted environment on top of that.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary>Can I use Pixcode on my phone?</summary>
-
-Yes. For self-hosted, run the server on your machine and open `[yourip]:port` in any browser on your network. For Pixcode, open it from any device — no VPN, no port forwarding, no setup. A native app is also in the works.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary>Will changes I make in the UI affect my local Claude Code setup?</summary>
-
-Yes, for self-hosted. Pixcode reads from and writes to the same `~/.claude` config that Claude Code uses natively. MCP servers you add via the UI show up in Claude Code immediately and vice versa.

+## Quick Start
+
+### Pixcode (Recommended)
+
+The fastest way to get started — no local setup required. Get a fully managed, containerized development environment accessible from the web, mobile app, API, or your favorite IDE.
+
+**[Get started with Pixcode](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)**
+
+
+### Self-Hosted (Open source)

+| **Setup** | `npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode` | `npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@latest sandbox ~/project` | No setup required |
+| **Isolation** | Runs on your host | Hypervisor-level sandbox (microVM) | Full cloud isolation |
+| **Machine needs to stay on** | Yes | Yes | No |
+| **Mobile access** | Any browser on your network | Any browser on your network | Any device, native app coming |
+| **Agents supported** | Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI | Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI | Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI |

+Pixcode has a plugin system that lets you add custom tabs with their own frontend UI and optional Node.js backend. Install plugins from git repos directly in **Settings > Plugins**, or build your own.
+
+### Available Plugins
+
+| Plugin | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **[Project Stats](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** | Shows file counts, lines of code, file-type breakdown, largest files, and recently modified files for your current project |
+| **[Web Terminal](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** | Full xterm.js terminal with multi-tab support|
+
+### Build Your Own

+## FAQ
+
+<details>
+<summary>How is this different from Claude Code Remote Control?</summary>
+
+Claude Code Remote Control lets you send messages to a session already running in your local terminal. Your machine has to stay on, your terminal has to stay open, and sessions time out after roughly 10 minutes without a network connection.
+
+Pixcode and Pixcode extend Claude Code rather than sit alongside it — your MCP servers, permissions, settings, and sessions are the exact same ones Claude Code uses natively. Nothing is duplicated or managed separately.
+
+Here's what that means in practice:
+
+- **All your sessions, not just one** — Pixcode auto-discovers every session from your `~/.claude` folder. Remote Control only exposes the single active session to make it available in the Claude mobile app.
+- **Your settings are your settings** — MCP servers, tool permissions, and project config you change in Pixcode are written directly to your Claude Code config and take effect immediately, and vice versa.
+- **Works with more agents** — Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI, not just Claude Code.
+- **Full UI, not just a chat window** — file explorer, Git integration, MCP management, and a shell terminal are all built in.
+- **Pixcode runs in the cloud** — close your laptop, the agent keeps running. No terminal to babysit, no machine to keep awake.

+<summary>Do I need to pay for an AI subscription separately?</summary>
+
+Yes. Pixcode provides the environment, not the AI. You bring your own Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini subscription. Pixcode starts at $7/month for the hosted environment on top of that.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Can I use Pixcode on my phone?</summary>
+
+Yes. For self-hosted, run the server on your machine and open `[yourip]:port` in any browser on your network. For Pixcode, open it from any device — no VPN, no port forwarding, no setup. A native app is also in the works.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Will changes I make in the UI affect my local Claude Code setup?</summary>
+
+Yes, for self-hosted. Pixcode reads from and writes to the same `~/.claude` config that Claude Code uses natively. MCP servers you add via the UI show up in Claude Code immediately and vice versa.
