Watch your coding agents come to life.

PixelHQ transforms your Claude Code sessions into a real-time pixel art office

Every file read, every

terminal command, every search — animated as tiny characters working away at their desks in a retro

startup office

It's the most fun way to see what your AI coding agent is actually doing.

Connect PixelHQ to the lightweight bridge server running on your laptop, and your coding sessions

instantly appear as live office activity

Characters read files at their desks, run to the terminal,

huddle up for planning sessions, and head to the whiteboard when exploring your codebase

The busier

your agent, the busier your office.

How it works

1

Run the bridge server on your laptop (`npx pixelhq`).

2

Pair your iPhone with a one-time 6-digit code.

3

Start a Claude Code session and watch your office come alive.

The bridge watches your Claude Code session files, extracts only the metadata needed for animations

(like event type and tool category), and streams it to the app over your local Wi-Fi

Auto-discovery

via Bonjour means no IP addresses to type in — just pair and go.

Your code stays on your machine

Period.

We take privacy seriously

Here's exactly what happens to your data:

- The bridge strips everything sensitive before it ever reaches the app

No source code, no prompts, no

AI responses, no file contents, no full file paths — none of it is transmitted.

- File paths are reduced to just the filename (e.g. "auth.ts", never the full path).

- All communication happens entirely over your local network

Nothing is sent to the cloud or to us.

- Pairing is protected with a one-time passcode, and reconnection uses a secure token stored in your

device's Keychain.

- The only data that leaves your device is anonymous, aggregate usage analytics (app opened, session

duration) through TelemetryDeck, a GDPR-compliant, privacy-first analytics provider that collects no

personal identifiers.

We built PixelHQ local-first by design, not as an afterthought

Your code is your business.

Features
