- **Background Execution** - Run agents in background while you continue working
- **Local-first** - All code stays on your machine, no cloud sync required
- **Branch Safety** - Never accidentally commit to main branch
- **Shared Terminals** - Share terminal sessions across local-mode workspaces

### Plan mode that actually helps you think

The agent asks clarifying questions, builds structured plans, and shows clean markdown preview - all before execution.

![Plan Mode Demo](assets/plan-mode.gif)

- **Extended Thinking** - Enabled by default with visual thinking gradient
- **Sub-agents** - Visual task list for sub-agents in the details sidebar

Close your laptop. Your agents keep running in isolated cloud sandboxes with live browser previews.

- **Runs When You Sleep** - Background agents continue working even when your laptop is closed
- **Cloud Sandboxes** - Every background session runs in an isolated cloud environment
- **Live Browser Previews** - See your dev branch running in a real browser

### Automations that work while you sleep

Trigger agents from GitHub, Linear, Slack, or manually from git events. Auto-review PRs, fix CI failures, and complete tasks - all configurable.

- **@1code Triggers** - Tag @1code in GitHub, Linear, or Slack to start agents
- **Git Event Triggers** - Run automations on push, PR, or any git event
- **Conditions & Filters** - Control when automations fire
- **Execution Timeline** - Visual history of past runs
- **Silent Mode** - Toggle respond-to-trigger for background automations

Automations require a [Pro or Max subscription](https://1code.dev/pro). Learn more at [1code.dev/agents/async](https://1code.dev/agents/async).


## API

Run coding agents programmatically. Point at a repo, give it a task - the agent runs in a sandbox and delivers a PR.

```bash
curl -X POST https://1code.dev/api/v1/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "repository": "https://github.com/your-org/your-repo",
    "prompt": "Fix the failing CI tests"
  }'
```

- **Remote Sandboxes** - Isolated cloud environment, repo cloned, dependencies installed
- **Git & PR Integration** - Agent commits, pushes branches, opens PRs automatically
- **Async Execution** - Fire and forget, poll for status or get notified
- **Follow-up Messages** - Send additional instructions to a running task

## Installation

### Option 1: Build from source (free)

```bash
# Prerequisites: Bun, Python 3.11, setuptools, Xcode Command Line Tools (macOS)
bun install
bun run claude:download  # Download Claude binary (required!)
bun run codex:download   # Download Codex binary (required!)
bun run build
bun run package:mac  # or package:win, package:linux
```

> **Important:** The `claude:download` and `codex:download` steps download required agent binaries. If you skip them, the app may build but agent functionality will not work correctly.
>
> **Python note:** Python 3.11 is recommended for native module rebuilds. On Python 3.12+, make sure `setuptools` is installed (`pip install setuptools`).
