CLI

Full workspace control from your phone, no editor required

CodeMote's extension drives the editor already on your machine. The CLI skips the editor entirely and gives you the workspace directly.

Most of what a mobile IDE needs to give you isn’t really about the editor — it’s the terminal, the file tree and Git. The CodeMote CLI gives you exactly that, for any project folder, on any machine that runs Node.js — no VS Code, Cursor or any other editor required.

One command to open a workspace

$npx codemote-cli start

Run it inside the project you want to work on. It prints a QR code and a pairing string; scan it (or paste the string) in the CodeMote app and you’re connected.

What “full control” means here

Terminal — a persistent shell for dev servers, builds and any CLI tool, including AI agents.
Files — browse the tree with image and Markdown preview.
Git — status, diff, commit, push, branch, using the credentials already configured on the machine.
Live activity — Lock Screen notifications when something in a terminal needs your attention.

Where it fits

Use it on a machine that has no editor at all — a VPS, a home-lab box, a Raspberry Pi, a CI runner — or just as a lighter path on a machine that does. Either way, it’s the same workspace: your files, your terminal, your Git history.

Have an editor open already? The extension gives you the editor too. The CLI is for when the editor isn’t there.

Questions

What's the difference between the CLI and the VS Code extension?

The extension drives the VS Code, Cursor or Antigravity already open on your machine, editor included. The CLI is a standalone Node.js package that gives you a terminal, files and Git for a project without any editor installed at all.

Take your dev environment with you.

Drive your AI agents, terminals and Git from your phone — with no cloud copy of your code.
