Preface

16code lets you use Claude Code from any browser — on your phone, tablet, or another computer — while the actual work happens on your own machine.

It has three parts:

• Agent (code-agent) — a small resident program on the computer where your code and Claude Code live. It dials out to the server, so your machine never opens any inbound port.
• Server (code-server) — a relay on a small VPS. It serves the web UI, routes messages between your browser and the agent, and stores history.
• Web UI — what you open in the browser. It works like a chat app plus a real terminal, and can be added to your phone or tablet home screen like a native app.

This guide is a user manual: it walks you through installing everything, configuring the server, and day-to-day use. It does not cover internal implementation details.
