What Is Tricoder

OpenAgents Tricoder lets you manage and steer your coding agents from your phone. It connects your mobile app to a local desktop bridge that runs and supervises the Codex CLI or Claude Code, streams live output, and syncs session history for quick context. Highlights
  • Tailscale‑first connectivity with seamless LAN fallback
  • One‑time pairing via QR or deep link; durable bridge token
  • Live streaming of messages, reasoning, and tool activity
  • Offline‑first local sync using Tinyvex (SQLite + WS)
  • Initial support: OpenAI Codex and Claude Code

​
How It Works

  • Bridge (Rust): boots locally on your desktop and exposes a secure WebSocket on ws://<host>:8787/ws.
  • Tricoder CLI: npx tricoder@latest prints your desktop IP, generates a pairing code/QR, and runs the bridge automatically.
  • Mobile App (Expo): scans or opens the deep link to connect and control your agent runs.
