Claude Code
for everyone.
Claude Code is incredibly capable. Codekin makes it more accessible.
Claude Code works great in the terminal. But if you want a visual interface, persistent sessions from any browser, or multi-repo workflows — that's what Codekin adds.
curl -fsSL codekin.ai/install.sh | bash paste in terminal, or view on GitHub
Everything Claude Code can do, with a better experience
Open source. Self-hosted. Built to be extended.
Use it from any device
No terminal required. Open Codekin in any browser — desktop or mobile — and work with Claude Code through a clean, responsive interface.
Persistent by default
Sessions survive refreshes, reconnects, and restarts. Archive old sessions and retrieve or re-activate them anytime. Pick up right where you left off.
Parallel across repos
Run multiple Claude sessions at once. Switch between repos and tasks without losing state or context.
Structured approvals
Handle tool approvals in a clear UI instead of raw terminal prompts. Stored approval history with detailed per-rule revoking keeps you in control.
Built-in file browser
Browse and view project files directly in the UI, with full Markdown rendering. No need to switch between your editor and Codekin.
Scheduled AI workflows
Run automated code audits, dependency checks, and repo maintenance on a schedule. Define custom workflows as Markdown files. LLM-powered chores like session auto-naming handle the busywork for you.
GitHub CI integration
Connect GitHub webhooks to automatically triage and fix CI failures. Codekin detects broken builds and kicks off bugfix sessions without manual intervention.
Open source and extendable
Fully open source. Add custom skills, modules, and workflow integrations. Build on top of it, fork it, make it yours.
Self-hosted, your way
Runs on your infrastructure. Your data, your environment, your rules. No vendor lock-in, no third-party dependencies.
Open source. Self-hosted.
Fully yours to extend.
No black boxes. No vendor lock-in. A foundation you can build on.
Fully open source
Read the code, contribute, or fork it. Transparent by design, community-driven by nature.
Self-hosted control
Runs on your infrastructure. Your data stays with you. Compatible with your auth and deployment stack.
Built to extend
Add custom skills, context modules, and workflow hooks. Integrate with GitHub, CI pipelines, and your own tooling.
What people build with Codekin
Daily development workbench
Work with Claude Code from the browser. Keep sessions alive across repos and pick up where you left off.
CI failure triage
Pipe failed workflow runs into Claude, inspect context faster, and cut down manual debugging loops.
Scheduled code review
Run recurring review workflows across repositories without turning Claude into a manual ritual.
Team knowledge reuse
Store repo-specific guidance, reusable skills, and approval patterns so useful context compounds over time.
Custom workflow integrations
Connect Claude to GitHub webhooks, CI pipelines, and your own automation. Open source means you can wire it into anything.
