vibe80

Vibe80 is an open-source, AI-assisted coding platform that orchestrates LLM agents over Git repositories through a real-time web interface. It acts as a bridge between developers and AI coding agents — currently supporting Codex (OpenAI) and Claude Code (Anthropic) — providing a structured environment where these agents can read, write, and modify code within isolated, sandboxed workspaces.

Key Capabilities

• Real-time AI chat — Stream-based conversation with AI agents that can read, write, and execute code in your repository.
• Multi-provider support — Switch between Codex (OpenAI) and Claude Code (Anthropic) within the same session, with independent model and reasoning configuration per provider
• Parallel worktrees — Create multiple isolated git worktrees (branches) within a session, each with its own AI agent, enabling parallel development tracks. Supports forking a worktree to inherit the conversation context
• Web terminal — Full PTY-based terminal access to the repository environment via xterm.js
• Mobile companion — Native Android (Jetpack Compose) and iOS (SwiftUI) apps built with Kotlin Multiplatform, with QR-code session handoff.
• Sandboxing — Landlock LSM, seccomp, and network control restrict what AI agents can access on the filesystem and network

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18
• Git
• codex installed & configured (optional)
• claude code installed & configured (optional)

At least one of codex or claude code must be installed before starting.

Quick Start (local)

npm install -g @vibe80/vibe80

# Run with Codex support
vibe80 run --codex

# Run with Claude support
vibe80 run --claude

# Run without opening browser automatically
vibe80 run --codex --no-open

vibe80 run requires at least one provider flag: --codex or --claude.

The server starts on http://localhost:5179 and prints a one-shot authentication link at startup.

Docker

Docker with Codex

docker run \
  -e VIBE80_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=mono_user \
  -e VIBE80_MONO_ENABLE_CODEX=true \
  -v vibe80home:/home/vibe80 \
  -p 5179:5179 \
  vibe80/vibe80

Docker with Claude

docker run --rm -it \
  -e VIBE80_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=mono_user \
  -e VIBE80_MONO_ENABLE_CLAUDE=true \
  -v vibe80home:/home/vibe80 \
  -v $(realpath $(which claude)):/usr/bin/claude \
  -p 5179:5179 \
  vibe80/vibe80

Unlike Codex (Apache-2.0), Claude Code is proprietary and cannot be distributed in the image. That is why the host Claude binary is mounted into the container.
