# CodeNomad
## A fast, multi-instance workspace for running OpenCode sessions.
CodeNomad is built for people who live inside OpenCode for hours on end and need a cockpit, not a kiosk. It delivers a premium, low-latency workspace that favors speed, clarity, and direct control.

## 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](https://github.com/shantur/CodeNomad/releases).
- **Run**: Install and launch like any other app.
### 🦀 Tauri App (Experimental)
We are also working on a lightweight, high-performance version built with [Tauri](https://tauri.app). It is currently in active development.
- **Download**: Experimental builds are available on the [Releases Page](https://github.com/shantur/CodeNomad/releases).
- **Source**: Check out `packages/tauri-app` if 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.
```bash
npx @neuralnomads/codenomad --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](https://opencode.ai)**: Must be installed and available in your `PATH`.
- **Node.js 18+**: Required if running the CLI server or building from source.
## 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](packages/electron-app/README.md)** | The native desktop application shell. Wraps the UI and Server. |
| **[packages/server](packages/server/README.md)** | The core logic and CLI. Manages workspaces, proxies OpenCode, and serves the API. |
| **[packages/ui](packages/ui/README.md)** | The SolidJS-based frontend. Fast, reactive, and beautiful. |
### Quick Build
To build the Desktop App from source:
1. Clone the repo.
2. Run `npm install` (requires pnpm or npm 7+ for workspaces).
3. Run `npm run build --workspace @neuralnomads/codenomad-electron-app`.
