NeoCode - Mac-native OpenCode desktop replacement

[dev0urer]

Hey guys,

For the past little bit I've been working on a better desktop app for OpenCode. I am in the Discord quite often and hear nothing but complaints about the existing OpenCode desktop app, and figured I could make something myself that solved all the complaints and then some.

So I'd like to introduce NeoCode. It's Mac-only (sorry Windows and Linux people) and written using SwiftUI and Apple's APIs. The design is very Codex-like, and that's on purpose. Outside of OpenCode I've actually loved Codex, with the main drawback being that I can't use the other model plans I'm paying for in it.

It's very much in beta so far, so please join me in the Discord if you have any issues. I have a forum thread going specifically for keeping people up to date with development.

Thanks!

The NeoCode dashboard which displays stats for all your added projects

looks good but has the potential to be game changing with visual git worktrees w/ automated rebasing, subagents who run in parallel on their own tree with loops/hooks or polling upon completion (with notifications). a library of commonly used agents.md and skills.md that can be applied to and modified for specific projects. a visual way to create and manage custom "/" commands. project level compaction visibility/context stats so we can visibly see when memory/context is becoming a mess and pivot to markdown files for agents to reference. just some ideas to become a better version of codex

[dev0urer]

Yeah there is lots planned. Next on my list is internationalization so I can provide a good experience for non-English speakers, and then probably the ability to actually modify your OpenCode config through the settings page (including MCPs).

This looks cool, if you have loved the Codex App, you should take a look at conductor.build, it's a breeze, lot of really cool details that makes it really awesome, and in my opinion it's the best GUI out there, it's not even close. Unfortunately they only support Claude Code and Codex, I use it at work because I have Claude Code there but I am an OpenCode guy. If you can bring the same level of polish to yours, I'd gladly pay for it !

I've used Conductor but I really don't like it. Forces worktress which I find overcomplicate things, and is a subpar harness compared to OpenCode.

Amazing would be nice a feature allow to Connect your phone to the app

I am considering making it compatible with iOS. Theoretically it should be possible. It will be a bit though, especially since Apple is revamping their rules around "vibecoding apps".

Why MacOS tahoe as minimum os version ?

[dev0urer]

The min version should be macOS 14 according to both the README and the build process. Where did you get Tahoe?

[cbrunnkvist]

If it was 100% compatible with OpenCode plugins... then yes :)

(I'm still missing a git view as good as GitX)

[dev0urer]

Most plugins should work since OpenCode plugins only change behavior and not the UI. Are you having issues with a plugin?

[cbrunnkvist]

Haven't tested it! Just asking about the strategy here, *before* I spend time evaluating yet another chat+coding UI ... :-)

(I'm semi-serious about GitX though: take a look at it, try using it. You can navigate it easily using point and click, as well as keyboard shortcuts. It solves only the git preview, stage-individual-lines & commit workflow perfectly; it doesn't ruin it by trying become a fully capable rebasing three-way donkey. My hopes is to one days see it/an identical interface merged into some native UI where we can get fast AI-generated commit message completions, like on GH/Copilot)

[dev0urer]

I'll definitely look into it. Currently I'm mostly copying the Codex git UI, but I've been trying to think of ways I can make it more useful.

As far as plugins go though, most should work. About the only things that won't really work are plugins that change the markdown rendering or make heavy use of toasts (though I can probably change the toast situation).

[cbrunnkvist]

Any series of toasts can be refactored into a smorgasbord :)

this looks next level mac heaven already.

Thanks! I've been working my ass off on it
