The companion is optional. Check TestFlight for tester availability.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few things worth knowing.
What do I need to get started?+
A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 13 or later, and access to
Claude Code or Codex. Install your chosen CLI, sign in, and open a
project in Modex. Your existing provider plan and usage still
apply.
Is Modex free?+
Yes. Modex is free and open source under the MIT license. Model
access comes from your own Claude Code or Codex account; Modex
does not include a model subscription.
Where does the work run?+
The coding tools run on your Mac, in your local projects. Claude
Code and Codex connect to their respective services using your
account. Local projects do not mean offline model inference.
Can I use the iPhone app away from home?+
The companion currently connects on the same local network. Your
Mac must be awake, running Modex, and reachable by your iPhone. It
is available through the
public TestFlight invitation,
subject to tester availability.
What are Pages and Knowledge?+
Pages keeps local project notes with version history. When
enabled, agents can help maintain them. Knowledge connects a
Markdown folder through a separately installed local OpenKnowledge
companion. You choose which projects can use these tools.
Can I inspect the source?+
Yes.
Explore Modex on GitHub, read the code, report an issue, or help shape what comes next.
