Koda Remote — drive your live CLI session from the dashboard

June 12, 2026

Attach to your live Koda CLI session from the dashboard — watch it work in real time, send it prompts, and answer its permission gates, all end-to-end encrypted. Our relay only forwards ciphertext and cannot read your session.

How it works

  • In the CLI, run /remote on (or koda --remote) — it shows a QR code and a short pairing code.
  • Open the Koda page → Remote tab → pick your session (or Add by code), then confirm the 6-digit code matches what your terminal shows. That match is the security check that defeats a man-in-the-middle.
  • /remote off to detach. Pairing codes expire after 5 minutes.

You're in control — pick your blast radius

Three presets decide what a remote viewer can do:

  • Read-only — watch and read only.
  • Read + Write, no exec (default) — read and edit files, but run no commands.
  • Full autonomous — full control; dangerous commands like sudo and rm -rf still need an explicit Approve in the dashboard.

The policy is enforced locally by your CLI, and secret paths (~/.ssh, ~/.aws, /etc, **/.env) are hard-blocked under every preset. Keep the preset as low as the task needs, and detach when you're done.
