CodeDock

Self-hosted real-time collaborative coding for VS Code

Built for developers and teams that need a simple room-based workflow, reliable launch flow, and native VS Code collaboration.

What is CodeDock?

CodeDock is a VS Code extension plus a web control plane for room-based collaboration.

It helps hosts create rooms, share workspace sessions, and lets guests open the room in VS Code only when the session is ready.

The extension handles launch tokens, workspace binding, and live room state for the editor.
