Dimillian/CodexMonitor

Image

CodexMonitor - CodexMonitor is a Tauri app orchestrating multiple Codex agents across local workspaces.

  • Backend/daemon: Rust-based TCP daemon handling workspace sessions, RPC routing, and app-server integration.
  • Frontend: TypeScript/React, with UI for workspaces, threads, prompts, Git/GitHub, and remote backend options.
  • Features cover: workspaces, threads, worktrees, remote daemon mode, composer & agent controls, file prompts, Git/GitHub workflows, and a rich UI with persisted layout states.
  • Code structure highlights: modules for app_server, daemon RPC (workspace, codex, git, prompts), and shared cores for workspaces/git/codex interactions.
  • Cross-platform: macOS/Windows/Linux targets; iOS support is WIP with remote backend flow wired.
  • Build/dev workflow notes: Node/NPM with Rust toolchain; uses tauri for bundling; supports doctor checks and typechecking.
  • Critical commands exposed via RPC include workspace management, git operations, prompts, and terminal/dictation features, all wired through a daemon process.
  • Documentation emphasizes settings persistence, worktree handling, and environment prerequisites (codex binary in PATH, Git/GH CLI, etc.).

Key Points

  • Tauri-based app orchestrates multiple Codex agents
  • Rust daemon provides RPC routing and session management
  • Workspace-centric UI with threads, worktrees, and prompts
  • Git/GitHub integrations via gh and git2
  • iOS support in progress; remote backend flow present
  • Extensive configuration and persistence (settings, workspaces)
  • CI/build notes: doctor checks, typecheck, tauri bundling

Action Items

  • Run npm install and npm run tauri:dev to start in dev
  • Install Codex CLI and ensure codex is in PATH
  • Configure GitHub CLI for optional PR/issue integrations
  • Run npm run doctor to validate native dependencies
  • Review daemon RPC methods for workspace management paths
  • Test remote backend setup using TailScale guidance
