What is ADHDev?
ADHDev (Agent Dashboard Hub for Dev) is a tool that lets you monitor and control your IDE's AI coding agents from anywhere — your phone, tablet, or another computer.
The Problem
You're using AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, or Gemini CLI. They run inside your IDE on your local machine. But when you step away — to grab coffee, commute, or work from another device — you lose visibility into what the AI is doing.
- ❓ Is the agent still working?
- ❓ Did it finish the task?
- ❓ Is it waiting for your approval?
- ❓ Did it make a mistake you need to catch?
The Solution
ADHDev connects to your IDE via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and streams the AI agent's activity to a web dashboard. You can:
- 📖 Read — See the full AI conversation in real-time
- ✍️ Write — Send messages to the agent from anywhere
- ✅ Approve — Respond to approval requests remotely
- 🖥️ View — See your IDE screen and control it via P2P
- 🤖 Manage — Launch and monitor CLI agents (Gemini, Claude, Codex)

└──────────────────────────────────┘- Daemon runs on your dev machine, connects to your IDE via CDP
- Dashboard shows real-time agent chat, status, and screenshots
- P2P connection keeps everything fast with direct data transfer (no server relay for data)
- Server handles authentication and P2P signaling only
