wanted codex's UI with claude code inside it, ended up building the whole thing

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

A developer built a custom tool that integrates multiple AI coding assistants like Codex and Claude Code into a single interface, enabling collaboration and remote access via phone and web, while using users' own subscriptions.

I use both Codex and Claude Code every day, and I kept bouncing between two completely different interfaces to do the same job. The thing is, I really like Codex's UI. It's calm, it stays out of the way, and it doesn't feel like an IDE bolted onto a chat box. What I wanted was that interface, but with Claude Code running in it too — and ideally with both of them able to work on the same task instead of me copy-pasting between them. That didn't exist, so I spent the last few months building it. What it does now: - Runs Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini and a few others in one interface. Same UI, same conversation, same diff review — you just pick who's answering. - Lets them collaborate. You can hand a task to multiple agents and have them split it up, or have one plan and another execute. - Works from your phone. This one started as a personal annoyance: agent tasks take minutes, and I was stuck at my desk for all of them. Now I can kick off a task, close the laptop, and follow it from my phone — live output, diff review, approvals. There's a web client too. The part I care most about: **the agents still runyour own subscriptions.** The phone and the browser to your desktop through an end-to-end encrypted relay. Nothing runs on my servers and I never see your code. Honest limitations, so nobody wastes their time: - macOS only right now. No Windows or Linux build, - You bring your own Claude / Codex / Copilot subscription. It's a client, not a reseller. - Closed source. - Android is a direct APK download, not on Play Store. - The web and phone clients need your Mac paired and awake — they're remote controls, not a cloud IDE. Happy to answer anything about how the tunnel or the multi-agent part works — that was the hard part.
