Before you choose
Public alpha for macOS with existing Tailscale network; host Homebrew or Node.js 20+, guest Node.js 20+. Managed Codex mode supports remote prompting; standalone Codex view-only by default. Claude support targets local CLI storage. No arbitrary remote shell, deletion, archival or approval delegation is advertised. Sleep/wake and three-person certification remain next, with no large-organization certification. Session sharing and invite identity assertions are vendor claims, not security tests. No installation, invite or teammate prompt performed.
Workflow and handoff
Pilot with a non-sensitive session and explicitly named invite; verify revocation and view-only restrictions before sharing client code.
