Mission control for AI coding agents. Manage Claude Code and Codex sessions from your Mac or your phone — create sessions, review diffs, approve tools, and steer agents from anywhere.
demo.mov
I don't write code anymore (pretty much) -- agents do. My job is review, management, and provide guidance at the right time. But with multiple repos and a bunch of agents running across all of them, keeping track of it all was chaos. OrbitDock is how I'm trying to wrangle that.
A Rust server sits at the center. It runs both Claude Code and Codex sessions directly, and picks up existing CLI sessions via hooks. Run a server on your laptop, your work machine, a VPS, wherever your agents are. The macOS and iOS apps connect to all of them at once, so you get one unified view no matter where your sessions are running or what device you're on.
- Run agents from anywhere — Create and control Claude and Codex sessions from Mac or iOS
- Live monitoring — Every session across every project, updating in real time
- Code review — Magit-style diffs with inline comments that steer the agent
- Approval triage — Diff previews, risk cues, keyboard shortcuts (y/n/!/N)
- Direct control — Send messages, approve tools, interrupt, run shell commands
- Usage tracking — Rate limit monitoring for Claude and Codex
- Multi-server — Connect to local, remote, and cloud endpoints at once
See FEATURES.md for the full list.
If you want this running locally in a few minutes, do exactly this:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Robdel12/OrbitDock/main/orbitdock-server/install.sh | bashThe installer sets up the binary, data directory, database, Claude hooks, and background service.
orbitdock-server status
curl http://127.0.0.1:4000/health
orbitdock-server doctorYou should see healthy output from all three.
Download from Releases, or build from source:
git clone https://github.com/Robdel12/OrbitDock.git
cd OrbitDock
make build
open OrbitDock/OrbitDock.xcodeproj # Cmd+RThe app auto-connects to the local server endpoint.
- Codex direct sessions: open
Settings→CODEX CLI, then sign in with ChatGPT (or use API key auth mode). - Claude Code monitoring/control: install Claude Code and log in; if you skipped hook install, run
orbitdock-server install-hooks.
- In OrbitDock, click
New Codex Session, pick any local repo, and send a prompt. - Or start a Claude Code session in your terminal and confirm it appears in OrbitDock.
If a session does not appear, run orbitdock-server doctor and check ~/.orbitdock/logs/server.log.
Running on a VPS, Raspberry Pi, or another machine:
orbitdock-server setup --remoteSee DEPLOYMENT.md for Cloudflare tunnels, TLS, Docker, and more.
- macOS 15.0+ (iOS 26.0+ for mobile)
- Codex is built in — the server embeds codex-core; authenticate with ChatGPT sign-in or API key mode
- Claude Code requires a separate install and active login — OrbitDock monitors it via hooks
- Xcode 16+ and Rust stable toolchain if building from source
- FEATURES.md — Full feature list with keyboard shortcuts
- DEPLOYMENT.md — Server deployment guide (remote, TLS, tunnels)
- CONTRIBUTING.md — Development setup and architecture
