Lody
Share coding agents with your team on phone and desktop
The Lens
By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.
Updated Sep 2026
Lody is a shared workspace for the coding agents your team already pays for. Connect a laptop, server or cloud VM with one command, then hand work to it from desktop, mobile, web or a script. It speaks the Agent Client Protocol, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline and Goose all plug in. Apache 2.0.
The free tier is real, not a demo: two workspaces, three team members, 200 sessions per workspace and 30 turns per session, with the mobile apps included. Sessions get their own Git worktrees so parallel agents do not collide, and the pull request panel syncs diff comments back into GitHub Review.
Plus runs $10 per seat monthly, or $8 billed yearly, discounted to $60 per seat per year through September 30. That lifts every cap. Solo: free covers you. Small teams: the 30-turn ceiling pushes you over, not the seat count. Large teams: Enterprise, because SSO lives there alone.
The catch is that the open source half is the client. The workspace syncing your sessions runs on Lody's servers, the docs carry no self-host path, and end-to-end encryption is still listed as coming soon. The project is moving toward local-first. It is not there yet.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
open coreFree tier: Two workspaces, 200 sessions per workspace, 30 turns per session, and up to 3 team members. Includes the native iOS and Android apps, push notifications, mobile diff review and approvals, all 40-plus supported agent runtimes, bring-your-own-keys, multi-device management, GitHub repository and PR context, and the embedded terminal and diff viewer. Described as free forever, not a trial.
Self-hosted: Not available today. The desktop app, CLI, and shared UI packages are Apache 2.0 in the repository, but npx lody daemon start authenticates against Lody's service before a machine joins a workspace, and the documentation has no self-host guide. The repo does carry an optional-cloud protocol package and the project uses Loro CRDTs with a stated goal of full local-first operation, so this may change.
Paid: Plus is $10 per seat per month billed monthly, or $8 per seat per month billed yearly. An early-bird offer through September 30 locks $60 per seat per year for that workspace. Plus removes the workspace, session, turn and member limits, and bills only for accepted members. End-to-end encryption is listed as coming soon on this tier. Enterprise is custom-priced and is the only tier with SSO and access controls, along with custom contracts, invoicing, procurement support and a dedicated support channel. Lody charges nothing for AI tokens on any tier.
Free tier holds 3 members and caps sessions at 30 turns. Plus is $10 per seat monthly, and SSO is Enterprise only.
