Everything Alby does,
in one page.
The complete tour — from agents and sessions to teams, deploys, monitoring, security and the details.
Claude, Gemini, Codex — or just a shell.
Each agent runs in its own pty locally, or a dedicated tmux session over SSH remotely. The system prompt knows your stack, sibling environments, and Alby's commit/deploy rules out of the box.
- • Cross-device sync for remote agents (cloud-mirrored).
- • Auto-reconnect on wake — dead SSH sockets handled silently.
- • Activity-aware sidebar: spinner only when the agent is really working.
- • Heartbeats: working vs viewed seconds per session.
Nothing dies when your Mac does.
Remote agents live in a tmux session named agent-<id>
on the target box. Local agents stay in node-pty
on your Mac. Activity dots come from OSC title parsing — both local and remote.
- • Union sync: local-only agents stay on the device; remote agents appear on every Mac.
- • ensureAttached on boot and every list call — stale sockets reconnect silently.
- • Stale-session handling: if tmux is gone, the tab becomes completed, not a scary red error.
- • Reconnecting overlay with a Retry button in the renderer.
One project. Many repos. All the environments.
A project is a product. A stack is one of its codebases (website, API, mobile app…). Each stack has its own environments — dev, staging, prod, deploy target.
Each kind gets its own icon and colour in the sidebar — a glance tells you the shape of your project.
- ▾ Tasks (scoped agent contexts)
- ▾ Sessions (live terminals)
- ▾ Files & routines
- ▾ GitHub & settings
Local folder or SSH-reachable box — both work the same way.
Linux bash or Windows PowerShell. One-click deploy, every step logged.
Personal sandbox. Team command center.
Flip between Personal and any Team workspace from the top bar. Five roles, per-workspace permissions, live presence avatars, and an unread-activity rollup so nothing slips through the cracks.
- • Invite by email — one-click accept via invite link.
- • Presence channels per project / environment / task / agent.
- • Unread rollup across stack / env / pin, denormalized for O(1) reads.
- • WebSocket sync via Laravel Reverb — no refresh, ever.
Git-aware deploys. One big green button.
Alby fetches origin for you, tells you exactly how far ahead the remote box is, warns about uncommitted files, and runs the pipeline when you're ready. First non-zero exit aborts the rest — no half-deployed states.
- • Inline
gh auth loginflow if the CLI isn't ready. - • "No updates to deploy" state — no accidental re-runs.
- • Pre-commands, git pull, post-commands logged with duration.
- • Linux bash or Windows PowerShell — same UI.
Your own Sentry — wired to an AI that fixes it.
Drop a <script>
in your HTML or a cURL in your backend. Every uncaught exception lands in Alby,
deduplicated, grouped by fingerprint, with the exact stack frame.
- • new_issue · regression · every_event — three independent triggers.
- • Email · Slack · native desktop push — per user, per app, synced across devices.
- • Statuses: open, resolved, excluded (drops future events with the same fingerprint).
- • Deep links —
alby://issues/<uuid>opens the app to that issue.
Auto-fix: from red alert to pull request, hands-free.
Flip one switch on a Stack and Alby spins up Claude, Gemini or Codex against the target env as soon as a new issue fires. Pick the agent, the env, and a daily cap. A draft commit shows up in your queue — review and push.
Every commit. Every deploy. Attributed.
Commit / push / pull / fetch / discard run through Alby's right-sidebar buttons, so each action is logged with the clicking user, the duration, and the result. Agents are instructed to delegate git to the UI — nothing sneaks past you.
- • Filter by actor, action, environment, time range.
- • Wall time / agent worked / viewed — side by side.
- • Cyan for git, emerald for deploys, violet for agent runs.
- • Analyst role sees only this — perfect for finance & ops.
Signed. Notarized. Your code stays yours.
Apple-notarized build
Every release is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. Gatekeeper approves on first launch.
Encrypted credential vault
SSH passwords AES-encrypted at rest, decrypted only on the device that authenticates. Private keys never leave unprotected.
OAuth via PKCE loopback
Google & Microsoft sign-in with PKCE. Tokens in Electron safeStorage — no keychain prompts, no plaintext on disk.
No secrets in git
Apple creds, API keys and app-specific passwords live outside the repo. Source code stays on your infra, always.
Scoped broadcasts
Live updates over private & presence Laravel Reverb channels, authorized by your token — per user / team / project.
Auto-updated, transparently
electron-updater polls a signed release manifest every 6h. User menu has a manual "check now" with progress indicator.
The full list.
Small pieces of polish that make the whole thing feel right.
Workspace filter
Flip between Personal and any Team at the top of the window. Every list re-scopes instantly.
Unread-activity rollup
Per-project, per-stack, per-env, per-pin unread dots. Tells you where to look before you click.
Tasks & routines
Scope an agent to a purpose. Routines = cron-driven recurring agent runs for triage, monitoring, summaries.
Cross-device sync
Projects, envs, tasks, issues — all persisted server-side. A new Mac is ready in one login.
Deep-link URLs
alby://issues/<uuid> from any email or Slack message jumps straight to the right view.
Native notifications
Per-issue tag so a noisy prod deploy collapses into one Notification Center entry.
Heartbeats & time tracking
Working vs viewing seconds per session. Useful for client billing and internal reporting.
Dev & prod isolation
npm run dev uses a separate userData dir — dev instance & packaged app never fight.
Arch-aware hardening
Native-module mismatch errors + window visibility fallbacks — the app never boots invisible.
Windows remote support
Step-by-step guide to stand up OpenSSH on Windows, with Tailscale fallback instructions.
macOS-first client
Apple Silicon & Intel, signed & notarized. Windows / Linux clients on the roadmap.
Auto-updater
electron-updater with delta downloads. Manual "check now" in the user menu.
