anycode

anycode is a web platform where people and agents build together. Run it locally or remotely and work from any device you want: desktop, laptop, mobile, or even VR. Use any agent, including Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, as well as local models.

Features

• Ultra-fast custom editor: Exceptionally fast and highly optimized virtual rendering engine based on tree-sitter parser, delivering superior performance for large codebases.
• Multi-language support: Work with various programming languages in a single environment.
• Advanced code experience: Utilizes a custom code component based on web-tree-sitter for efficient parsing, syntax highlighting, and real-time code analysis.
• LSP integration: LSP support for intelligent code completion, go-to-definition, hover information and real-time diagnostics.
• File system integration: WebSocket-based backend for browsing and editing files from your local filesystem.
• Changes: Built-in git Changes panel, per-file revert, commit, push, and pull with status feedback.
• History: Browse Git commit history for the repository or current file, inspect changes, and open previous versions.
• Free layout: Flexible pane layout for arranging the workspace the way you want.
• Integrated terminal: Full-featured terminal emulator with WebSocket-based communication, supporting real-time command execution and output.
• Search functionality: Powerful search capabilities including local search within files and global search across project.
• Markdown Preview & Mermaid Diagrams: Live synchronized markdown preview with full Mermaid diagram rendering (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state, class, ER, Git graphs), diagram/code view toggle, interactive zoom, and copy controls.
• ACP integration: Agent Client Protocol (ACP) support for seamless integration with AI agents, including tool-call streaming, history-backed undo, session resume, frontend-controlled permission mode, model and reasoning selectors, streamed markdown and code blocks, markdown file links, interactive Mermaid diagrams in chat, and improved tool-call diff display.

Architecture

The project consists of several packages:

• anycode/ - Main React frontend application and Tauri desktop app
• anycode-base/ - Core editor library with tree-sitter support
• anycode-react/ - React wrapper for the editor
• anycode-backend/ - Rust backend for file system access
• anycode-example/ - Example application demonstrating anycode usage

Installation

Desktop Application

Download the prebuilt native installer from GitHub Releases:

Platform	Packages
macOS	Apple Silicon (ARM64) (.dmg) · Intel (x64) (.dmg)
Windows	Windows x64 Installer (.exe)
Linux	Debian / Ubuntu (.deb) · Universal Binary (.tar.gz)

📖 Need help with first launch or package dependencies?
Check the Installation Guide for macOS Gatekeeper approval (xattr), Windows Defender SmartScreen, and Linux WebKitGTK setup.

CLI & Server

Run anycode as a standalone local or remote server:

• macOS & Linux:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anycode-ade/anycode/main/install.sh | sh

• Windows (PowerShell):

  irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anycode-ade/anycode/main/install.ps1 | iex

See the Installation Guide for custom install paths and version overrides.

Usage

Start anycode from any project directory:

anycode

Options & Security

Flag	Env Variable	Default	Description
-p, --port <PORT>	ANYCODE_PORT	3000	Port to listen on
-t, --token <TOKEN>	ANYCODE_TOKEN	None	Require access token to access web UI and WebSocket

Access Token Protection

When hosting anycode on a remote machine, cloud instance, or local network, protect your workspace by setting a token:

anycode --token mysecret
# or with short flag and custom port:
anycode -t mysecret -p 8080

The server will print an authenticated URL:

INFO Starting anycode at http://localhost:8080
INFO Access token protection enabled.
INFO Open with token: http://localhost:8080?token=mysecret

Any attempt to access the web interface or WebSocket without the token will be rejected with 401 Unauthorized. Once opened with ?token=..., the browser securely stores the session cookie for subsequent visits.

Development

Prerequisites:

• Node.js 24+
• pnpm
• Rust 1.96.0+

1. Install workspace dependencies:

   pnpm install

2. Start frontend:

   cd anycode
   pnpm dev

3. Build frontend assets for the backend:

   cd anycode
   pnpm build

4. Start Rust backend:

   cd anycode-backend
   cargo run --release

5. Run Desktop app in development:

   pnpm --filter anycode tauri dev
