What it solves

MindFS provides a remote access gateway and visualization layer for AI agents and workstation data. It allows users to interact with various local AI agent CLIs (like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and DeepSeek Harness) through a web-based interface accessible from any device, eliminating the need to be physically at the workstation or manage complex firewall settings for remote access.

How it works

MindFS acts as a wrapper and gateway that detects installed agent CLIs on the host machine and exposes their functionality via a browser-based UI. It supports multiple access modes: a local mode for immediate use, a relay mode using an encrypted tunnel via a9gent.com for public internet access, and a private channel mode for networks like Tailscale. It also includes a plugin system where agents can generate custom views to render specific file types as interactive UIs.

Who it’s for

Developers and AI power users who use command-line AI agents and want a cross-platform, mobile-friendly way to manage their agent sessions, orchestrate complex tasks, and access their local project files remotely.

Highlights

• Multi-Agent Support: Automatically detects and integrates with a wide array of agent CLIs including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot.
• Task Orchestration: Breaks complex goals into subtasks with dependencies and coordinates parallel execution across multiple agents.
• Real-time Visualization: Streams token-by-token output and renders tool calls and thought traces as structured, collapsible cards.
• Session Management: Supports session forking, bidirectional synchronization with agent CLIs, and multi-device live sync.
• Remote Gateway: Offers one-click public exposure of local services and encrypted remote access to the workstation.
• File Integration: Features a file tree browser with dedicated renderers for Markdown, images, and code, and allows bidirectional linking between files and sessions.
