Getting Started
Choose the way that fits your workflow:
🖥️ Desktop App (Recommended)
The best experience. A native application (Electron-based) with global shortcuts, deeper system integration, and a dedicated window.
- Download: Grab the latest installer for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the Releases Page.
- Run: Install and launch like any other app.
🦀 Tauri App (Experimental)
We are also working on a lightweight, high-performance version built with Tauri. It is currently in active development.
- Download: Experimental builds are available on the Releases Page.
- Source: Check out
packages/tauri-appif you're interested in contributing.
💻 CodeNomad Server
Run CodeNomad as a local server and access it via your web browser. Perfect for remote development (SSH/VPN) or running as a service.
npx @neuralnomads/codenomad --launch
For dev version
npx @neuralnomads/codenomad@dev --launch
This command starts the server and opens the web client in your default browser.
Highlights
- Multi-Instance: Juggle several OpenCode sessions side-by-side with tabs.
- Long-Session Native: Scroll through massive transcripts without hitches.
- Command Palette: A single global palette to jump tabs, launch tools, and control everything.
- Deep Task Awareness: Monitor background tasks and child sessions without losing flow.
Requirements
- OpenCode CLI: Must be installed and available in your
PATH. - Node.js 18+: Required if running the CLI server or building from source.
Troubleshooting
macOS says the app is damaged
If macOS reports that "CodeNomad.app is damaged and can't be opened," Gatekeeper flagged the download because the app is not yet notarized. You can clear the quarantine flag after moving CodeNomad into /Applications:
xattr -l /Applications/CodeNomad.app
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CodeNomad.app
After removing the quarantine attribute, launch the app normally. On Intel Macs you may also need to approve CodeNomad from System Settings → Privacy & Security the first time you run it.
Architecture & Development
CodeNomad is a monorepo split into specialized packages. If you want to contribute or build from source, check out the individual package documentation:
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| packages/electron-app | The native desktop application shell. Wraps the UI and Server. |
| packages/server | The core logic and CLI. Manages workspaces, proxies OpenCode, and serves the API. |
| packages/ui | The SolidJS-based frontend. Fast, reactive, and beautiful. |
Quick Build
To build the Desktop App from source:
- Clone the repo.
- Run
npm install(requires pnpm or npm 7+ for workspaces). - Run
npm run build --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app.
