Private preview

Your coding agents, wherever you are.

Start Codex on your Mac, a VPS, or a private machine. Sidemesh keeps that session within reach, so you can check progress, approve the next step, send a quick prompt, or inspect what changed from your phone or desktop.

Built for Codex in this preview, with the same simple promise: keep your agent sessions close without moving your code.

Why

Your agents keep working. You keep the handle.

Coding agents are most useful when they can keep going without you staring at a terminal. Sidemesh is for the in-between moments: a command needs approval, a test is stuck, or you want to see what changed before replying.

Mobile first
Say yes, no, or wait from your phone.

Handle command, file, permission, network, and tool asks without opening SSH for a tiny decision.

Many hosts
Your private machines feel closer.

Pair the machines where agents already run, then browse their recent sessions from one app.

Host context
See the workspace before you answer.

Read markdown, inspect files, check git state, open images, or use terminal access when chat is not enough.

Surface

A calm app around active work.

Sidemesh is intentionally not a full IDE. It is the part of agent work that should be reachable even when your editor is closed.

Recent
Pick up the thread from any paired host.

Keep track of running and recent Codex sessions across the machines you use.

Inbox
Know exactly what is waiting.

Pending approvals sit outside the normal transcript, so blocked work is easy to spot.

Chat
Reply without reopening your terminal.

Messages, tool calls, generated images, diffs, and resources stay in one ordered timeline.

Files
Browse the project when words are not enough.

Render markdown, inspect git branch, and view generated resources from the selected host.

Terminal
Use shell access deliberately.

Optional terminal support is for trusted private networks where host-level access is intentional.

Install

Install it where your agents run.

Put Sidemesh on each trusted host, run setup, install the service, and pair the app with a QR code.

$ npm install -g github:mukhtharcm/sidemesh
$ sidemesh setup
$ sidemesh service install
$ sidemesh pair
Security

Keep the route private.

Sidemesh can expose transcripts, workspace files, approvals, git metadata, and optional terminal access. Keep it behind Tailscale or a trusted LAN.

FAQ

The important parts, plainly.

Minimal should not mean vague. The page still needs to say what Sidemesh is, what it is not, and where the security boundary lives.

Is this a cloud IDE?

No. Sidemesh connects to your own machines and the agent sessions running there.

Does it replace Codex?

No. Codex remains the agent. Sidemesh is the mobile and desktop surface around it.

Can it support other agents?

That is the direction. Codex is primary today; provider support is being generalized.

Can I use it away from home?

Yes, when your phone or desktop can reach the host through Tailscale or another private route.
