Multiplayer Agent Orchestration Platform
Host an agent team, not a single agent
K2 is agent server software: your AI agents run on your machine through the CLI tools you already use — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Pi, Hermes — and keep working when you close the window. Watch every terminal, every agent, every change from anywhere, on any device. Your keys, your machine, full visibility.
Built with Tauri + Rust. Fair Source — free to use and self-host.

K2 Connect — your machine, from anywhere
One daemon, many viewers. The K2 daemon on your machine is the single source of truth — K2 Connect exposes it over a secure tunnel at your own your-name.k2.dev subdomain. Drive your workspaces from a laptop across town, and audit everything from anywhere: every terminal is watchable live, every agent action lands in the activity feed, every change is a branch you can read before it merges.
Remote workspaces
Open and operate a folder on your home or work machine from across the network — live terminals included.
Same terminal, together
Every viewer sees the same screen, live — every keystroke, every update. Pair-drive an agent through a tricky problem like you're at the same desk.
Audit from anywhere
Check what your agents did from any device: the activity feed, the live terminals, and the branches they produced. Trust, but verify — from the train.
Roles, not shared passwords
Owner-managed users with roles (Owner / Admin / Member), password policies, and session controls. Onboard a contractor in a minute, revoke them in one click.
Clone-to
One-click migrate an entire workspace — files, settings, and agent chat history — from one K2 machine to another.
Reviews from your pocket
Agent work queues for review wherever you are. Read the branch, approve it, and it merges — progress before you're back at a desk.
The K2 Connect tunnel service is operated by LZTEK, LLC on behalf of Alakazam Labs. Learn more about K2 Connect

One server, everyone on it
A K2 server is a place your team logs into. The top bar shows who's connected right now, which workspaces they're in, and what role they hold — and every terminal is shared, live, with the keyboard under your control.
See who's here
A live presence roster of everyone on the server — owners, admins, members, and viewers, each with the workspaces they're working in. Click through for the full list.
Viewers watch, claimers type
Every window is either viewing or driving. Viewers see everything live but can't type, resize, or steal a session — enforced by the server, not the UI.
Grant the keyboard
Give a viewer temporary edit access with one toggle; it auto-revokes the moment they disconnect. And anyone can be kicked instantly — sessions revoked, sockets closed.
Teach from a terminal
Pin a session to a fixed size and everyone sees the identical screen, scaled to fit their window — built for classrooms, demos, and pair-driving an agent.
Workspaces and Agents collaborating together
Every workspace is an agent with hands — a terminal, a filesystem, its own memory — and a name other agents can reach. They discover each other, message each other, and hand work across projects, all through the same k2 CLI you use yourself. No orchestration framework: just agents talking. It works across servers, too — k2 talk api@studio-mini reaches an agent on a different K2 machine entirely.
See your counterparts
k2 connections list shows every workspace this one is wired to — who's reachable, and whether their agent is awake right now.
Talk, two ways
k2 msg api "..." lands live in the running session — delivery is verified against the recipient's screen. Agent asleep? Add --inbox to queue it email-style for their next wake.
Work flows between repos
An agent finishing API changes messages the client's workspace to update its integration; the answer comes back the same way. Cross-project work without a human relay.
Every message and reply lands in the activity feed — the whole conversation between your agents is auditable after the fact.
If it runs in the terminal, K2 supports it
No custom harnesses, no wrappers, no SDK lock-in — K2 runs CLI tools directly in real PTYs. One click opens an agent in a terminal tab; anything else that runs in a shell works too. Bring your own API keys.

Canonical Project and Agent files
One source of truth per workspace: PROJECT.md holds what the project is and how it works; AGENT.md holds who the agent is and its standing orders. K2 compiles them into a SKILL.md that works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Goose, and more.
Edit the source files, and every harness sees the change — symlinked to each tool's discovery path. Agents wake up with 6 commands: checkin, status, done, msg, reserve, release.
K2 as a server
Drive it with an API
One key, one curl. Spin up an agent in a hardened microVM sandbox, or message a workspace's agent from CI, cron, or a GitHub Action. Everything an API call starts shows up live in K2 — a real tab you can watch, join, and audit.
Hardened sandboxes
Each sandboxed API session boots its own microVM with locked-down network egress and an isolated filesystem — a real hypervisor boundary, not a container.
Bring your own key
Your model API key is injected per-request and token spend goes straight to your provider. K2 charges nothing for usage and never sees your bill.
Message real agents
The same canonical workspace agents you talk to in the app are addressable over HTTPS — with per-key workspace grants and per-workspace consent, fail-closed.
Watch it live
API-launched sessions appear as marked tabs in K2. Open one to watch the agent work, take over, or audit the full transcript afterwards.
Under the hood
Code Editor
Full editing with syntax highlighting for 30+ languages. Cmd+S to save, Cmd+Z to undo, bracket matching, search — all the shortcuts you expect, built in.
Terminal Persistence
Terminal PTYs survive tab switches via a scrollback buffer. Switch tabs without losing output. Agent sessions resume automatically on app restart.
The daemon never sleeps
Agents run against the K2 daemon, not the window. Close the app, shut the laptop lid on the couch — sessions keep running, and every viewer reconnects to the same live state.
Tauri + Rust
~45MB binary vs ~500MB+ Electron apps. Native PTY via portable-pty. SQLite via rusqlite. Local LLM via llama.cpp with Metal GPU. Fast startup, low memory.
Mobile — Available now
Take it with you
K2 Companion puts your agent workspace on your phone. Monitor agents, chat with running sessions, and approve reviews — all from mobile.
Your hardware or ours
The full app on your Mac — and, in beta, on your Linux desktop. The headless daemon on any Linux box — a VPS, a home server, a Raspberry Pi. And K2 Cloud — always-on servers we run for you, one click from your dashboard — is coming soon.
Fair Source
K2 is Fair Source software (FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0). Free to use for individuals and businesses, free to self-host, source fully visible — and every version becomes Apache 2.0 open source two years after release. What you build with K2 is yours.
Hosting K2 for clients? A standing grant covers you when remote access runs through K2 Connect — see COMMERCIAL_HOSTING_GRANT.md in the repository.
