24
+ ## What Pixcode Is
37
25
 
38
- ## Screenshots
26
+ Pixcode turns your machine, VDS, or workstation into a browser-based AI development cockpit. Instead of jumping between terminals, desktop apps, CLI logs, file explorers, Git tools, and provider dashboards, you get one local web app that understands coding-agent workflows from start to finish.

28
+ It is designed for three common setups:
66
29
 
30
+ - **Local workstation**: run Pixcode on your computer and use it as a richer UI for the CLIs you already trust.
31
+ - **Always-on server**: run it on a Linux server, keep sessions alive, and connect from a laptop, tablet, or phone.
32
+ - **Desktop app**: install `.exe`, `.dmg`, or Linux builds from GitHub releases when you want a packaged app experience.
67
33
 
34
+ Pixcode is not a hosted cloud IDE. Your projects, credentials, CLI sessions, local files, Git state, and MCP config stay under your own machine unless you explicitly connect external services.

46
+ ## Highlights
83
47
 
84
- ## Quick Start
48
+ ### One UI for the CLIs you already use
85
49
 
86
- ### Pixcode (Recommended)
50
+ - Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and OpenCode are available from the same project screen.
51
+ - Provider auth, API-key credentials, OAuth paste flows, install checks, model lists, and CLI version status live under Settings.
52
+ - You can keep using the provider-native CLIs. Pixcode wraps them with session management, web sockets, notifications, file context, and project controls.
53
+ - Processing state is visible while a CLI is thinking, running tools, waiting for approval, or producing output, so the screen does not feel frozen.
87
54
 
88
- 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.
55
+ ### Chat that feels like a development workspace
89
56
 
90
- **[Get started with Pixcode](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)**
57
+ - Project-aware conversations with session history.
58
+ - Fixed bottom prompt composer for focused chat and selected project screens.
59
+ - Mode selection for default/plan/run flows, with mode persistence where the workflow expects it.
60
+ - Slash command support and provider-specific tool rendering.
61
+ - Push and Telegram notifications when long-running agent work finishes, fails, or needs attention.
91
62
 
63
+ ### Files, shell, and source control without leaving the agent
92
64
 
93
- ### Self-Hosted (Open source)
65
+ - Built-in project file browser with edit, upload, rename, delete, and detailed view.
66
+ - Integrated shell panel that can open as split view or full view without losing the main chat/orchestration screen.
67
+ - Source Control panel for Git status, diffs, branches, commits, and changed files.
68
+ - Split panels have compact icon controls, close actions, and half/full behavior for desktop. Mobile uses a screen-appropriate layout instead of trying to force desktop split behavior.
69
+ - The file list is optimized for narrow panels, so permissions and long paths do not dominate the UI.
94
70
 
95
- #### npm
71
+ ### Command Center for changed files
96
72
 
97
- Try Pixcode instantly with **npx** (requires **Node.js** v22+):
73
+ Pixcode keeps an eye on local working-tree changes, not only GitHub updates. The Quick Settings command mode can show changed files as they appear, highlight them, and jump directly to the edited location.
98
74
 
99
- ```
100
- npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
101
- ```
75
+ This is meant for control: when an AI agent edits files, you can see what changed immediately, open the file in the right panel, and keep the main chat or orchestration view visible.
102
76
 
103
- Or install **globally** for regular use:
77
+ ### Multi-agent orchestration
104
78
 
105
- ```
106
- npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
107
- pixcode
108
- ```
79
+ The orchestration system is built for more than "send one prompt to one bot." It can coordinate multiple CLI agents around the same goal.
109
80
 
110
- Open `http://localhost:3001` all your existing sessions are discovered automatically.
81
+ Built-in workflow styles include:
111
82
 
112
- Visit the **[documentation →](https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode)** for full configuration options, PM2, remote server setup and more.
83
+ - **Agent Team**: split a task across frontend, backend, review, docs, or custom roles.
84
+ - **Multi-model Review**: ask different providers or models to inspect the same implementation.
85
+ - **Sequential Handoff**: pass work through ordered stages when one step depends on the previous result.
86
+ - **Decision Debate**: compare approaches before implementation.
113
87
 
114
- #### Keep It Running On Linux (VDS / SSH-safe)
88
+ Orchestration controls include:
115
89
 
116
- If you run Pixcode over SSH and your terminal disconnects, foreground processes like `npm run dev` will stop.
117
- Use the built-in daemon manager to run Pixcode as a persistent service:
90
+ - enable/disable agents per run,
91
+ - duplicate a provider when you need multiple workers from the same CLI,
92
+ - assign role, stage, label, and instruction per agent,
93
+ - select the model per agent, including OpenCode model choices,
94
+ - choose a fallback CLI agent for failed steps,
95
+ - preview the workflow DAG before running,
96
+ - stream run events and cancel active runs,
97
+ - resize orchestration side panes so task setup and run output can breathe.
118
98
 
119
- ```bash
120
- # Default behavior on Linux (auto-daemon):
121
- pixcode
99
+ ### API-first automation
122
100
 
123
- # Explicit install (recommended on first setup):
124
- pixcode daemon install --mode auto --port 3001
125
- pixcode daemon status --mode auto
126
- pixcode daemon doctor --mode auto
127
- ```
101
+ Pixcode's own frontend talks to the backend through REST and WebSocket APIs, and external automation can use the same control plane with Pixcode API keys.
128
102
 
129
- Useful commands:
103
+ New API keys start with `px_`:
130
104
 
131
105
  ```bash
132
- pixcode daemon logs --mode auto
133
- pixcode daemon restart --mode auto
134
- pixcode daemon stop --mode auto # temporary stop, auto-start remains enabled
135
- pixcode daemon disable --mode auto # disable auto-start at boot
136
- pixcode daemon uninstall --mode auto
137
- pixcode update --restart-daemon
106
+ curl http://localhost:3001/api/projects \
107
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer px_your_key_here"
138
108
  ```
139
109
 
140
- Notes:
141
- - On Linux, `pixcode` now attempts auto-daemon startup by default.
142
- - `npm run dev`, `npm run start`, and direct server entrypoints now pass through the same auto-daemon behavior.
143
- - Recommended for always-on server deployments: use `pixcode daemon install`, not `npm run dev`.
144
- - `--mode user` uses `systemctl --user`, `--mode system` uses system service management, and `--mode auto` chooses the best available mode.
145
- - Use `pixcode --no-daemon` (or `PIXCODE_NO_DAEMON=1`) to force foreground mode.
146
- - On some servers you may need to enable linger for boot-time startup without an active login session:
147
- `sudo loginctl enable-linger <your-username>`
110
+ Run a one-shot provider task:
148
111
 
149
- #### Docker Sandboxes (Experimental)
150
-
151
- 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/).
152
-
153
- ```
154
- npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode@latest sandbox ~/my-project
112
+ ```bash
113
+ curl http://localhost:3001/api/agent \
114
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer px_your_key_here" \
115
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
116
+ -d '{
117
+ "provider": "codex",
118
+ "projectPath": "/home/me/project",
119
+ "message": "Review the current diff and list the risky changes.",
120
+ "stream": false
121
+ }'
155
122
  ```
156
123
 
157
- Supports Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. See the [sandbox docs](docker/) for setup and advanced options.

- ### Enabling Tools
140
+ Legacy `ck_` keys remain accepted for older installations, but `px_` is the current prefix.
190
141
 
191
- To use Claude Code's full functionality, you'll need to manually enable tools:
142
+ OpenAPI reference: [`public/openapi.yaml`](public/openapi.yaml)
192
143
 
193
- 1. **Open Tools Settings** - Click the gear icon in the sidebar
194
- 2. **Enable Selectively** - Turn on only the tools you need
195
- 3. **Apply Settings** - Your preferences are saved locally
144
+ ### Themes and appearance
196
145
 
197
- <div align="center">
146
+ Pixcode now has a real theme system instead of a single blue/navy look.
198
147
 
199
- ![Tools Settings Modal](public/screenshots/tools-modal.png)
200
- *Tools Settings interface - enable only what you need*
148
+ - Dark and light modes.
149
+ - Ready-made accent palettes, including emerald and VS Code-like colors.
150
+ - Custom light-mode and dark-mode accent colors.
151
+ - Token-based styling for active states, focus rings, buttons, navigation, and high-emphasis controls.
152
+ - Settings-driven theme changes without rebuilding the app.
201
153
 
202
- </div>
154
+ The goal is to let the UI feel closer to a command-line/development tool when you want it, while still keeping the web app readable on mobile and desktop.
203
155
 
204
- **Recommended approach**: Start with basic tools enabled and add more as needed. You can always adjust these settings later.
156
+ ### Notifications and Telegram bridge
205
157
 
206
- ---
158
+ - Browser push notifications for long-running CLI sessions.
159
+ - Telegram pairing with short-lived codes.
160
+ - Telegram notifications for completed, failed, or action-required work.
161
+ - Optional bridge behavior so Telegram messages can become prompts for the Pixcode instance.
162
+ - Notification preferences are stored per user.
207

208
- ## Plugins
164
+ ### Plugins and MCP
209
165
 
210
- 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.
166
+ Pixcode includes optional extension points:
211
167
 
212
- ### Available Plugins
168
+ - MCP server management for supported providers.
169
+ - Provider-specific MCP/session/auth panels.
170
+ - Plugin loading with frontend tabs and optional backend services.
171
+ - Local settings for API keys, base URLs, model catalogs, and provider install status.

- <summary>How is this different from Claude Code Remote Control?</summary>
185
+ ```text

+ http://localhost:3001
187
+ ```
230
188
 
231
- 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.
189
+ ### Install globally
232
190
 
233
- 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.
191
+ ```bash
192
+ npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
193
+ pixcode
194
+ ```
234
195
 
235
- Here's what that means in practice:
196
+ ### Desktop installers
236
197
 
237
- - **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.
238
- - **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.
239
- - **Works with more agents** — Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI, not just Claude Code.
240
- - **Full UI, not just a chat window** — file explorer, Git integration, MCP management, and a shell terminal are all built in.
241
- - **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>
204
+ Releases: <https://github.com/alicomert/pixcode/releases/latest>
247
205
 
248
- 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.
206
+ ### Linux daemon

- <summary>Can I use Pixcode on my phone?</summary>
210
+ ```bash
211
+ pixcode daemon install --mode auto --port 3001
212
+ pixcode daemon status --mode auto
213
+ pixcode daemon logs --mode auto
214
+ pixcode daemon restart --mode auto
215
+ ```
254
216
 
255
- 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.
217
+ Foreground mode:
256
218

+ ```bash
220
+ pixcode --no-daemon

- <details>
260
- <summary>Will changes I make in the UI affect my local Claude Code setup?</summary>
223
+ ### Ports
261
224
 
262
- 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.
225
+ - Backend and bundled frontend: `SERVER_PORT`, default `3001`.
226
+ - Vite-only frontend development: `VITE_PORT`, default `5173`.
263
227
 
264
- </details>
228
+ For normal installed usage, think in terms of one port: `3001`. The `5173` port is only for separate Vite frontend development.

266
+ ## Security Model
295
267
 
268
+ - Pixcode is self-hosted. Treat it like a local control plane for your machine.
269
+ - Use strong local account credentials when exposing it on a network.
270
+ - Put it behind a trusted reverse proxy/VPN when running on a public server.
271
+ - API keys are intended for automation. Rotate them if they are exposed.
272
+ - Provider secrets are masked in APIs and UI responses where possible.
