## What is Tailscode?

Send a prompt to Claude Code, opencode or Oh My Pi from your phone, pocket it, and watch the turn finish on your Lock Screen. Approve the risky command, answer the agent's question, read every diff — from anywhere on your own Tailscale network.

WHAT YOU NEED
A Mac or Linux machine on your tailnet (Tailscale is free for personal use) running one of your agents: opencode, Claude Code through the open-source claude-bridge, or Oh My Pi through the open-source omp-bridge. Set-up is three verified steps, and a built-in demo lets you try every screen before you wire anything.

THE TURN, LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
• A Live Activity per conversation: what it is doing, for how long, and how many tools it has run.
• An approval request alerts you; a finished turn lingers with its outcome. Tap to land in the exact chat.
• Updates arrive by push while the app is suspended.

A NATIVE TRANSCRIPT, NOT A TERMINAL
• Streaming text written at the model's own speed, with thinking and tool runs folded into readable groups.
• Diffs, commands and their real output inline; syntax-highlighted code with byte-exact copy.
• Allow once, always, or deny — without leaving the chat. Agent questions become tappable cards.
• Queue the next message while a turn runs, edit it before it goes, or stop the turn on the server.
• Every picture the agent hands you, in a gallery you can zoom, save or share.

EVERY MACHINE ON ONE BOARD
• All your servers' conversations in one list, live status first, grouped by project.
• Read the repository before you trust the change: branch, staged, changed, untracked, and the diff of any file.
• Subagents dock inside the turn that spawned them; a compaction is drawn as a seam with what it kept.
• Slash commands from the server's own catalog, per-message model and reasoning effort, forking.

KNOW WHAT IT COSTS
• Every conversation priced, every month totalled across machines — by model, project and tool.
• Plan limits and quotas for Claude, Grok, Ollama Cloud, DeepSeek and more, on Home and in a widget.

YOURS, END TO END
• Point-to-point over your tailnet. No relay servers, no account, no analytics, nobody reading your code.
• Programmatic UIKit, Swift 6, Liquid Glass on iOS 26. Dark mode, Dynamic Type, haptics.
• Open source under GPL-3.0 — the app, the engine, and both bridges.

FREE, WITH AN HONEST PRO
The free app is the complete core: one server, full chat, approvals, attachments, models, forking, and Live Activities. Tailscode Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: multiple saved servers, concurrent Live Activities, and a supporter badge.

Tailscode is independent open-source software: not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, Tailscale Inc., the opencode project or Oh My Pi.

### 1.35 — 2026-09-05

Every chat now shows how full the model's context window is. The band above the prompt box wears a ring filled as far as the window is, with the share first and the token count after it, quiet while there is room, amber as it fills and red when a compaction is close. The number is the footprint of the last request the model was actually sent — what it was handed plus what it wrote — never the turn's whole bill, which for a turn of many tool calls is many times the window; a compaction resets it to what survived. The window itself comes from the server's own catalog, so a local model on your own machine is measured against the limit you gave it, and a Claude model reached through Claude Code against its 200k or million-token window.

Tap or click the ring for the whole picture: a large dial with the share inside it, the window banded by what fills it — cache read, cache written, fresh input and the answer — how much is in use, how much is free, which model, where the number came from, what to do about it when the room is getting tight, and Compact one press away.

### 1.33 — 2026-09-04

The whole app is now localized — every screen, not just this page. Now in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.
