A multi-backend terminal workspace for AI coding agents.
Run CodeBuddy, Claude, Codex, Gemini, and more in one native app; share memory across sessions; keep local and remote agents in sync over SSH.

One app, every agent.

codebuddy, claude, codex, gemini, opencode, amp, cursor, copilot, grok, antigravity, kimi, kiro, droid, pi — fifteen built-in backends, data-driven from ~/.config/kode/config.toml. Pick one per tab, or add your own. Each tab is a real PTY running the real CLI, not a wrapper.

The backend chooser is a cold snapshot at startup; manage backends from Settings → Backends and restart to pick up new ones. The codebuddy / claude / codex defaults ship with no positional args — positional first tokens get treated as initial prompts by the CLI, so this is regression-tested.

No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync. Your code, tokens, and conversations stay on your machine.

Every backend gets an icon in the chooser and sidebar. Drop in any PNG in Settings → Backends to create a custom backend avatar, or build a small animated avatar gallery from your own generated image sequence:
