Remote Dev

A modern, web-based terminal workspace for AI-assisted development. Run persistent terminal sessions in your browser, organize them into projects, and drive multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, and OpenCode — from one place, on desktop or mobile.

What It Does

Coding agents live in the terminal. Remote Dev gives that terminal a home you can reach from any device: sessions survive disconnects via tmux, agents run in isolated profiles with their own identities, and a two-level project tree keeps everything organized. Open it in a browser tab, install it as a PWA, or run the native desktop and mobile apps — your work follows you.

Under the hood it runs two servers — a Next.js 16 web app and a WebSocket terminal server that attaches PTYs to tmux — backed by Drizzle ORM over SQLite (PostgreSQL optional). A Rust rdv CLI lets agents drive the whole system from the shell.

Features

Each capability below is tagged with its maturity so you know exactly what to expect:

• Shipped — implemented, wired end to end, in daily use.
• Beta — works, but incomplete or rough in ways called out in the Notes.
• Experimental — flag-gated off by default, or scaffolding that isn't wired to a UI yet (see Experimental / in progress).

Terminals & sessions

Feature	Status	Notes
Persistent sessions	Shipped	Multiple terminals backed by tmux; survive refreshes, disconnects, and server restarts.
Suspend & resume	Shipped	Detach a session and reattach later with full scrollback intact.
Terminal types	Shipped	Five session kinds — shell, agent, file (a real CodeMirror editor, many languages), browser (screenshot-based headless automation), and ssh (tmux-backed remote shells).
Recording & playback	Shipped	Capture terminal sessions on desktop web; play recordings back everywhere.
Trash & restore	Shipped	Soft-delete for worktree sessions with 30-day retention and worktree-aware restore.
Session templates	Beta	Save and restore a session's name and working directory; startup command and appearance are not yet re-applied.

AI coding agents

Feature	Status	Notes
Five agents, one workspace	Shipped	First-class Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and OpenCode. Antigravity has no public installer and no session resume.
Agent profiles & isolation	Shipped	Each profile is a fully isolated environment — its own HOME, agent config, git identity, and per-profile theming.
Live status & exit handling	Shipped	Agent sessions report running/idle/waiting state and show a restart screen on exit.
Session resume	Shipped	Reattach to prior agent sessions for four of five providers (Antigravity relaunches fresh).
Claude usage-limit management	Shipped	Per-profile 5h/7d limit state, reactive limit detection from output, group-inherited primary + fallback pools with auto-rotation, and server-side auto-apply at session creation.
Peer messaging	Beta	Durable push + poll delivery for Claude Code; other agents pull messages with rdv peer. At-least-once delivery with idempotent de-duplication.
Claude auto-relaunch on limit	Beta	Opt-in auto relaunch works; notify mode raises a notification (no inline one-click relaunch button yet).

Organization & collaboration

Feature	Status	Notes
Project tree & inheritance	Shipped	Two-level group + project hierarchy; preferences inherit Default → User → Group chain → Project.
Tasks	Beta	Manual per-project tasks with priorities, labels, subtasks, dependencies, due dates, and group roll-ups. No automatic agent-TodoWrite sync.
Channels	Shipped	Slack-style channel groups, channels, and DMs with GitHub-flavored markdown, threads, and unread tracking.
Notifications	Shipped	Coalescing (60s), actionable notifications with toast integration and FCM push.

Git & GitHub

Feature	Status	Notes
Multi-account GitHub	Shipped	Link multiple accounts and bind one per project. Browse/clone repos and branches; view and create issues (no commenting or PR writes).
Git worktrees	Shipped	Isolated worktrees for branch-per-task workflows, with trash/restore and git worktree repair.
