Collaborative coding agent that works for everyone in a team, from solo developers to large organizations
⚠️ Under Active Development - nocodo is actively developed. If you ⭐ star and 👀 watch this repository, it would mean a lot to me.
Hello! I am Sumit, a software engineer living in a small Himalayan village in India. I am building nocodo to help teams of all sizes collaborate on software development with AI assistance - whether you're working solo, in a small startup, or part of a large organization.
⚠️ Under Active Development - the desktop app shows tool call outputs as raw JSON, a better UI will come soon.
nocodo is a collaborative development platform where coding agents, project management, and development tools work together. It runs locally or in the cloud, giving teams complete control over their development environment while making software development accessible to everyone.
- AI Coding Agent: Uses LLMs to analyze codebases and will soon be able to write code autonomously
- Integrated Project Management: Tasks, ideas, and discussions all in one place
- Team Collaboration: Share ideas, report bugs, and discuss solutions with AI - everyone on the team can contribute
- Desktop App: Secure access to your development environment (mobile apps coming soon)
- Multi-Team Support: Join multiple teams easily, making it simple to contribute to different projects across organizations
- Your Infrastructure, Your Keys: Use your own cloud servers and AI provider API keys
- Demo Deployments: AI will build and launch demo URLs for manual testing or public sharing (coming soon)
- Your cloud, your choice: Deploy on DigitalOcean, Scaleway, Linode, Vultr, AWS, GCP, or any Linux server
- Bring your own AI: Use your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLM providers
- Full development environment: nocodo manager handles everything from code to deployment on your infrastructure
- No vendor lock-in: Switch providers anytime
nocodo consists of two main components that work together:
The desktop app provides secure, native access to your development environment:
Easy Access
