What is Penates?

Penates is a small self-hosted server that runs on your Mac or Linux box. It shows every running coding-CLI session in one dashboard and lets you drop into the terminal from any browser: your Mac, iPad, or phone, on your network or over the internet. No cloud relay: your machine, your sessions.

You start sessions with Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), or Antigravity (Google agy) from a CLI picker, each with tiered approval/sandbox variants. Claude Code is the most deeply integrated (hook-based notifications, usage tracking, image paste); the others run as full terminal sessions with their own login.

Manage sessions

Start, attach, rename, and stop tmux-backed CLI sessions from a live dashboard with activity, context-token, and 5h-limit status.

Steer from anywhere

Installable PWA, optional Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale for secure remote access. Full terminal with colors, even from your phone.

A board for ideas

A Kanban board turns ideas into shipped work: brainstorm, implement (in an isolated git worktree), review, and merge, partly autonomously.

Usage dashboard, file browser, repo panel (changes · history · branches), browser preview, voice input, and more.
