Firetower

Firetower is an open-source control plane for coding agents that runs them on private servers from any device.

Firetower is an open-source control plane designed to run coding agents on private servers and allow access from any device. It operates by connecting to a machine via SSH, cutting a branch, creating a worktree, starting tmux, and launching the chosen agent. It manages workflows remotely so agents continue running even if the user closes their laptop or if the server temporarily goes down. Workers write logs locally to survive failures, and workers communicate via stdin and stdout without opening ports. It is written in Rust and targets developers who want to self-host coding agents.
