No new cloud, no new account for your code. Bandito lives where your projects already are.
01
Install the daemon
One command on your VPS or home machine. A single Rust binary that runs as a service — no Electron, no headless browser.
$ curl -fsSL bandito.dev/install | sh02
Hire your crew
Give each agent a role, a repo and a schedule. Use the Claude Code, Codex and Grok you already have, or plain API keys.
$ bandito crew add forge --agent codex03
Close the laptop
Agents keep working on the server. Anything risky waits for one tap on your iPhone or Mac.
✓ forge · approved from iPhoneBuilt like a tool you’d keep open all day
Every model you use
Claude Code, Codex and Grok through their official CLIs, or direct API keys. Pick per agent.
Approvals in your pocket
Pushes, deploys and deletes wait for you. Approve from the lock screen, deny with a swipe.
Schedules that run
Nightly audits, morning summaries, weekly clean-ups. Cron for agents, with logs you can read.
Light by design
Native Mac and iPhone apps on top of a tiny daemon. No Electron eating your RAM, no fans spinning up.
Your server, your keys
Code, secrets and history stay on your machine. Agents talk to model providers directly, not through us.
Nothing risky happens without you.
Bandito knows which commands can hurt: git push, deploys, migrations, rm. Those wait for a tap. Everything else just gets done.

A native app for your Mac and iPhone, and a tiny daemon for your server.
Open source, built in public.
The daemon and the apps are source-available under FSL-1.1 and become Apache 2.0 two years after each release. Read every line that touches your servers.
Questions
hello@bandito.dev ↗When can I use it?
Bandito is in early development. Join the waitlist and we’ll send an invite as soon as the first build is ready.
Does it work with my Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Bandito runs the official Claude Code, Codex and Grok command-line tools that you sign in to yourself, on your own server. You can also use API keys. Each provider’s terms decide how their plans may be used.
What does it run on?
The daemon runs on Linux and macOS: a VPS, a home server or a spare machine. The apps are native for Mac and iPhone.
Is my code sent to you?
No. Agents run on your server and talk to the model providers directly. We only see your email if you join the waitlist.
How much will it cost?
Pricing isn’t final yet. We’ll share it before launch, and people on the waitlist will hear first.
