What is it?
IM.codes connects AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw to the machines where they run. A daemon on each dev machine manages agent sessions through tmux or SDK transports, and a self-hosted server relays access to a web or mobile dashboard. From there you can open terminals, browse files and git changes, preview localhost, and get notified when work finishes.
The project also adds a shared memory layer that turns completed assistant outputs into summaries recalled in later sessions, and a managed MCP tool surface for memory search, agent-to-agent messaging via `imcodes send`, and cron scheduling. Multi-agent Team discussions let several providers review work before code is written, and a supervisor can auto-continue, hand back, or run an audit-rework loop per session.
IM.codes is a personal MIT-licensed project installed with npm. It is self-hostable with Docker and PostgreSQL, requires Node.js 22 or later, and supports macOS and Linux, with Windows listed as experimental.
Key features
- 01Remote terminal and file/git views in any browser, without SSH or VPN.
- 02Shared memory that recalls summarized past work across sessions and providers.
- 03Managed MCP tools for memory search, agent messaging, and cron scheduling.
- 04Team discussions where multiple providers review work before implementation.
- 05Per-session supervisor that auto-continues, hands back, or runs audit loops.
- 06Localhost preview tunneled through the server, with HMR support.
Use cases
- Checking on and steering a long-running coding agent from a phone while away from the desk.
- Having one agent ask another to review changes or run tests via `imcodes send`.
- Triggering agent work from CI failures, webhooks, or log monitoring scripts.
- Running a multi-model review of a spec before implementation begins.
