CodeNomad
A fast, multi-instance desktop client for running OpenCode sessions the way long-haul builders actually work.
What is CodeNomad?
CodeNomad is built for people who live inside OpenCode for hours on end and need a cockpit, not a kiosk. When terminals get unwieldy and web clients feel laggy, CodeNomad delivers a desktop-native workspace that favors speed, clarity, and direct control. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux using Electron + SolidJS, with prebuilt binaries so you can get started immediately.
Highlights
- Long-session native – scroll through massive transcripts without hitches and keep full context visible.
- Multiple instances, one window – juggle several OpenCode instances side-by-side with per-instance tabs.
- Deep task awareness – jump into sub/child sessions (Tasks tool) instantly, monitor their status, and answer directly without losing your flow.
- Keyboard first – the full UI is optimized for shortcuts so you can stay mouse-free when you want to.
- Command palette superpowers – summon a single, global palette to jump tabs, launch tools, tweak preferences, or fire shortcuts. Every action is categorized, fuzzy searchable, and previewed so you can chain moves together in seconds. It keeps your workflow predictable and fast whether you are juggling one session or ten.
- Developer-friendly rendering – syntax highlighting, inline diffs, and thoughtful presentation keep the signal high.
Requirements
- OpenCode CLI installed and available in your
PATH, or point CodeNomad to a local binary through Advanced Settings.
