Connect to your self-hosted NomadFlowCode server and get full control over your git repositories, feature branches, and terminal sessions β€” wherever you are. KEY FEATURES β€’ Git Worktree Management β€” Each feature branch gets its own dedicated worktree. Switch between features instantly without stashing or losing context. β€’ Full Terminal Access β€” Open a real terminal session on your server right from the app. Run commands, edit files, and debug code on the go via ttyd integration. β€’ Tmux Session Management β€” Every feature branch automatically gets its own tmux window. Your running processes stay alive even when you disconnect. β€’ Multi-Server Support β€” Connect to multiple development servers. Manage different projects across different machines from one app. β€’ Repository Overview β€” Browse all your git repositories, see active feature branches, and quickly jump into any project. β€’ Branch Creation β€” Create new feature branches from any base branch directly from your phone.

All communication stays between your device and your server β€” no cloud services, no third parties. REQUIREMENTS β€’ A Linux or macOS machine running the NomadFlowCode server binary β€’ Git and tmux installed on the server β€’ ttyd for terminal access β€’ Network connectivity between your phone and server NomadFlowCode is open-source software.
