Access your personal AI agents and workstation data anywhere, anytime through MindFS.
Features
Agent Sessions
- Multi-Agent support: Claude Code · OpenAI Codex · Gemini CLI · Cursor · GitHub Copilot · Cline · Augment · Kimi · Kiro · Qwen · Qoder · Pi · OpenCode · OpenClaw — installed agents are detected automatically.
- Real-time streaming: Token-by-token output pushed to the browser; tool calls, thought traces, permission prompts, and remaining context-window capacity are rendered live as structured, collapsible cards.
- Flexible switching: Switch agents or models mid-session; all agents share the same context — no need to re-explain the background.
- Session search: Search by session title or conversation content, then jump straight to the matched session and snippet.
- External session both-way import&synchronization: Browse existing sessions from supported agent CLIs, import one into MindFS, and continue it as a native MindFS session. MindFS session can resumed in agent cli too. Bidirectional synchronization is also possible.
- Binding persistence and recovery: MindFS persists the mapping between its internal session and the underlying agent session, so the link can be restored after service restarts and follow-up messages continue on the same agent session when available.
- Rich media input: Attach files and images directly in your messages.
- Multi-device sync: Access the same instance from multiple devices simultaneously with live session sync.
File Access
- Multiple projects: Manage several directories at once; sessions are organized per project and stay independent.
- Self-hosted data: All conversation history, file metadata, and view config are stored under the project's .mindfs/ subdirectory — migration and backup is just a folder copy.
- File tree browser: Full directory navigation with file preview; Markdown, images, and code all have dedicated renderers.
Interaction
- / slash commands: Type / to trigger a command palette and quickly run preset operations.
- @ file references: Type @ to trigger path completion and attach any file as context for the agent.
- # quick prompts: Type # to trigger your saved prompt shortcuts inline.
- Bidirectional file–session linking: Jump from a file to the session that created it, or from a session to all files it touched.
- Android, Browser app (PWA): Install to desktop or mobile home screen for a native-like experience — no app store required.
- Mobile-optimized UI: Bottom action bar within thumb reach, independent panel swipe navigation, input box adapts to the soft keyboard.
Access Modes
- Local mode: Accessible in the browser on the local machine immediately after startup — no account or configuration needed.
- Relay remote mode: Access your local instance from anywhere on the public internet without opening firewall ports, via an encrypted tunnel through a9gent.com. Click the bind button in the local UI to activate.
- Private channel: Use a private network (e.g. Tailscale) and access directly via ip:port.
- End-to-end encryption: Sessions and files can be protected with end-to-end encryption.
Plugin System
- Custom views: A plugin is a custom view for a file, following the pattern: receive file content → parse → render UI.
- Agent-generated plugins: Tell the agent "implement a txt novel reader" and it generates the plugin — all txt files are then displayed as a reading experience.
- Interaction loop: Plugins can register action buttons that send structured commands to the agent, completing the loop: customize plugin → browse file → agent interaction.
Installation
- Single binary: The production build is a statically compiled binary with all web assets embedded, and the install package is under 10 MB.
- Zero dependencies: No Node.js, Docker, or daemon manager required on the host.
- Cross-platform: macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), Linux (x86-64, ARM64, ARMv7), Windows (x86-64, ARM64).
