:3 Code

:3 Code is an "agent harness control surface" (＾• ω •＾) — it lets you pet, poke, and direct every agent on your machine from a best-in-class mobile app (iOS, Android), web app and Electron-based desktop app.

Works with your subscriptions on Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Google Antigravity, and Southbag Code. If they're set up on your computer, :3 Code can control them.

"wait, what are you selling me?"

Nothing! Not a thing. We built :3 Code because we wanted the best possible development experience with agents. We were inspired by existing solutions like the Codex desktop app, Conductor, Claude Desktop and Cursor Glass, but none met our bar.

We wanted something performant, remote-ready, and truly open. If we ever go the wrong direction, we want you to have everything you need to fork and build the editor that you want. No hard feelings, we'll purr you off. (˃ᆺ˂)

installation

Warning

:3 Code currently supports Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity, and Southbag Code. Install and authenticate at least one provider before use:

• Codex: install Codex CLI and run codex login
• Claude: install Claude Code and run claude auth login
• Cursor: install Cursor CLI and run agent login
• Grok Build: install Grok Build CLI and run grok login
• OpenCode: install OpenCode and run opencode auth login
• Antigravity: enable it in Settings, then use Install Antigravity and Sign in with Google. No CLI is required.
• Southbag Code: install Southbag Code with npm i -g @southbag/code. When it is installed, it is the default provider for new threads.

command line

curl -fsSL https://t3.codes/install.sh | sh

On Windows, in PowerShell:

irm https://t3.codes/install.ps1 | iex

Then run t3 to start the server and open the local web app. t3 service install keeps it purring in the background, t3 update moves to a newer release, and t3 --help has the full reference.

Just want one little taste without installing? Run npx t3@latest instead.

desktop app

Install the latest version of the desktop app from GitHub Releases, or from your favorite package registry:

Windows (winget)

winget install T3Tools.Colon3Code

macOS (Homebrew)

brew install --cask colon3-code

Debian, Ubuntu (.deb)

Download the .deb from GitHub Releases, then:

sudo apt install ./Colon3-Code-*.deb

Arch Linux (AUR)

Stable:

yay -S colon3code-bin

Nightly:

yay -S colon3code-nightly-bin

The AUR packaging is maintained in this repository under packaging/aur.

We are very very early in this project. Expect bugs. They're small and fuzzy, but they do bite.

We are (mostly) not accepting contributions yet. Small fixes may be considered. Big features will not be.
