Coden ist eine Fernbedienung für einen Entwickler-Agenten, der auf deinem eigenen Rechner arbeitet. Den Server installierst du auf dem Rechner und startest ihn über einem Projekt. Das Telefon koppelst du durch Scannen eines QR-Codes — und von da an musst du nicht mehr am Schreibtisch sitzen. WAS DU DAMIT MACHST • Eine Aufgabe stellen und Zeile für Zeile verfolgen, was der Agent tut. • Jede Änderung freigeben oder ablehnen, bevor sie geschrieben wird. • Die Dateien des Projekts durchblättern, Bilder und Markdown inklusive. • Die Tests laufen lassen und sehen, was fehlgeschlagen ist. • Die laufende Anwendung in der Vorschau öffnen, als säßest du davor. • Den Branch wechseln, einen Commit schreiben, die Historie durchsehen. DIE ARBEIT BLEIBT BEI DIR Weder das Projekt noch der Quelltext wird irgendwohin hochgeladen. Der Agent läuft auf deinem Rechner, unter deinem Konto, über dem Verzeichnis, das du ihm gegeben hast. Das Telefon ist ein Fenster dorthin, kein Speicher. Die Verbindung zwischen Telefon und Rechner ist Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt. Wenn sich die beiden nicht direkt sehen, leitet unser Dienst den Verkehr weiter — lesen kann er ihn nicht, ihm fehlt der Schlüssel. OHNE KONTO Es gibt nichts zu registrieren und nichts anzumelden. Nichts, was man vergessen könnte. WAS DU BRAUCHST • Einen Rechner mit macOS, Windows oder Linux und den Server von coden-app.com • Die Claude Code CLI und ein Anthropic-Konto — den Agenten bezahlst du direkt dort • Git Ohne Agenten läuft der Server weiter: Dokumente und Vorschau funktionieren, es gibt nur niemanden, dem man eine Aufgabe geben könnte. KOSTENLOS App und Server sind kostenlos. Wir verkaufen nichts in der App und sammeln keine Analysedaten.
