CodePiper is an open-source remote orchestrator for managing multiple live interactive AI coding-agent sessions. It lets you spawn, monitor, and control Claude Code and Codex CLI sessions from a single daemon with a web dashboard, CLI, or raw tmux.

How does CodePiper multi-device access work?

Sessions run inside tmux on your machine and persist independently of any client. Start a session on your laptop, check progress from your phone's browser, respond from an iPad, or attach from raw tmux on a server. Close the lid and your agents keep going.

What AI coding tools does CodePiper support?

CodePiper currently supports Claude Code (with native hooks, transcript tailing, and model switching) and Codex CLI (via tmux integration). The open provider interface can be extended for any TUI-based AI coding tool.

Is CodePiper free and open source?

Yes. CodePiper is free and open source, built with Bun and TypeScript. Everything runs locally on your machine — SQLite database, encrypted secrets, session data. No cloud accounts or telemetry required.

How do I install CodePiper?

Install globally with npm: 'npm i -g codepiper'. You need Bun v1.3.5+, tmux v3.0+, and at least one AI coding CLI (Claude Code or Codex). Run 'codepiper doctor' to verify your setup.

Everything you need.

Built for developers who run AI coding agents at scale.

Open Web Standards

Real-time WebSockets, installable PWA, standard HTTP APIs. Works in any browser, on any device. No Electron required.

Secure & Local-First

Everything lives on your machine: SQLite database, encrypted secrets, session data. No cloud accounts, no telemetry. MFA and Unix socket isolation built in.

Provider Agnostic

Claude Code + Codex today. Open provider interface you can extend for any TUI-based AI coding tool.

Multi-Session Control

Start, stop, attach, resume, and send text to any number of concurrent sessions. From CLI or web.

Permission Policies

Auto-approve or deny tool use via glob pattern rules. Full audit log for every decision across sessions.

Token Analytics

Claude Code

Track token usage, model distribution, cache efficiency, and estimated cost. Unified across all sessions.

Workflow Orchestration

Chain multi-session tasks via YAML. Sequential, parallel, conditional, and loop steps with variable extraction.

Git Integration

Browse diffs, stage files, view commit history, and check branch status. All from the session's git tab, no context switching.

Worktree Isolation

Spawn sessions in git worktrees with auto-branch creation. Run parallel agents on separate branches without conflicts.

Advanced Session Config

Workspaces, encrypted env sets, billing modes, model switching, and dangerous mode. Fine-grained control per session.

Session Notifications

Claude Code

Get notified when sessions finish, crash, or need attention. Push alerts to any device so you never miss a completion.

Image Attach & Paste

Paste or drag-and-drop screenshots directly into the web terminal. Seamless image context, just like working locally.
