What is it?
Zeron is a control plane for coding agents. It lets you run and oversee agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin, Grok, Hermes, Pi and Antigravity from one place. Sessions stay on your own device by default, and no account or network connection is required to use the desktop app.
Besides the desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, Zeron offers a headless CLI for Linux servers and VPS machines. The installer runs the engine as a background service that survives reboots, so agents can keep working after you close your laptop. Commands such as zeron status, update and daemon control manage the service.
Signing in enables optional multi-device sync, so you can start an agent on one device and follow or drive it from another. Devices on the same account can read and write each other's workspace files, and existing local sessions are not uploaded.
