CodeNomad is the prettiest OpenCode cockpit I’ve seen — ★2,427 on GitHub, MIT, TypeScript, Electron + Tauri desktop apps with a standalone server mode. Multi-instance workspaces, voice input, sidecars, theming, the works.
But I don’t use it. I looked at it, I ran it on the dev box, and I moved on. Here’s why — and what I looked at instead.
If you use OpenCode and want a GUI, CodeNomad is the right answer. It’s polished, active (Nov 2025, still pushing), and the server mode means you can expose it remotely. But it’s single-provider by design — OpenCode only. If you ever want to run Claude Code and OpenCode side by side, or have human review gates between agent work, CodeNomad isn’t built for that.
