Remote machines

Your agents, on the machine that fits.

Connect a build box, a Mac mini or a cloud VM over SSH. Open its folders as projects and run agents there with the same composer and Git tools.

Add a machine with user@host

Enter user@host or an SSH config alias. bycoda installs a verified host package as a background service, pairs it with your desktop and opens a private SSH forward.

Remote projects feel local

Sessions run on the remote machine with the same composer, model picker and permission modes. Browse and edit files, review Git changes, branches and worktrees. Closing your laptop does not stop the remote session.

Saved servers and tunnels

Keep SSH terminal targets in Servers and connect in one click. Share a dev server through ngrok or Cloudflare Quick Tunnels with a link and QR code.

What you can do

  • Connect Windows, Linux or macOS machines over SSH
  • Open remote folders as projects
  • Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok Build or Antigravity on the host
  • Remote file explorer, Go to File and text editing
  • Git status, diff, history, staging, commits, branches and worktrees
  • Saved SSH servers with one-click terminals
  • Agents run SSH commands only after you approve the exact command
  • Share dev servers through tunnels with a QR code

Examples

Heavy builds elsewhere

Run an agent on a powerful Linux box while you work from a laptop.

iOS from Windows

Open a project on a Mac mini to use its iOS simulator.

Show work in progress

Share a local preview with a teammate's phone through a QR code.

Good to know

Remote access is experimental. SSH must already be reachable, and each agent must be installed and signed in on the remote machine. Remote projects do not support terminals, skills or @ file mentions yet.

Questions

Which operating systems can be hosts?

Windows 10/11 or Server 2019+, Linux with systemd user services, and macOS on x64 or arm64.

Do sessions stop if I lose connection?

No. Sessions keep running on the host; you reconnect to them.

Can an agent run commands on my servers?

Only after you approve the exact server and command in a native prompt, unless you choose full access.

Try it on your own projects.
