What it does
Where you use it
The product ships desktop/native phone clients. Its documented browser work app is source-build-only and not part of the installed app; this does not establish a released browser or phone-browser client.
Source and scope for Where you use itAgents it runs
Multiple coding agents are launched and represented in chat or terminal views. Ghostex v11.3.0 includes Antigravity CLI in its agent launch path with model and effort launch options.
Source and scope for Agents it runsAccounts and subscriptions
Users bring their existing agent; usage/account switching is documented for Claude and Codex.
Source and scope for Accounts and subscriptionsWhere agents run
Ghostex runs agents locally, on SSH machines or in boxes created in the user external cloud-provider account. With phone-start enabled, boxes can start while the desktop computer is off; this is not Ghostex-operated vendor compute.
Source and scope for Where agents runHow work is kept apart
Worktrees and optional agentbox Docker boxes are documented.

Ghostex runs agents locally, on SSH machines or in boxes created in the user external cloud-provider account. With phone-start enabled, boxes can start while the desktop computer is off; this is not Ghostex-operated vendor compute.
- Managed cloud: Boxes are billed to the user own Instabox/Boat or other configured provider account; no Ghostex-operated runtime is documented.
- Client disconnect: Phone-start can launch external-account boxes with the desktop computer off; local work still requires its host to stay running.
- Only the cited atomic facts are established. No configured product, account, billing or multi-user scenario was run; remaining atomic answers stay unknown.
-
Ghostex: skills/ghostex-help/references/settings.md
Finding: Cloud Boxes use the user Instabox or Boat account and bill that account; phone-start can launch a box while the desktop computer is off. These are user-controlled external cloud accounts, not a Ghostex-operated execution service. Collab owner/guest chat permissions include approve, direct Send and View only; owner controls each shared chat. No named organization/workspace human roles or enterprise SSO are documented. The optional Collab service is separately installed and its hosted implementation is outside the inspected core source.

Ghostex coordinates child sessions through product commands.
- Roles: Coordinator and thread sessions.

Native issue tracking: Yes
Native issue tracking
Typed value: Yes.
The optional integrated Beads board provides persistent issue cards with state and metadata separate from agent sessions. Ghostex supplies create/update/close/comment/dependency operations and dispatch; the separately installed bd CLI stores records in the project .beads database.
- Create: Board creates project-local persistent Beads cards through its typed create operation.
- Edit: Typed operations edit issue data and board status.
- Discuss: Cards have persistent comments and the typed comment action.
- Label: Typed operations add/remove labels.
- Task session separation: Cards exist independently; Start work dispatches sessions and separate sessions associate with a card.
- Durable states: Board columns follow stored Beads statuses: backlog, open, in progress, test, review and done.
- External tracker requirement: Local bd CLI must be installed; this is integrated CRUD over project-local data, not an external tracker link.
- Only the cited atomic facts are established. No configured product, account, billing or multi-user scenario was run; remaining atomic answers stay unknown.
-
Ghostex: server/src/typed_operations/beads.rs
Finding: The product board directly creates/edits/closes/comments on persistent project-local .beads records, not merely links to an external website. Cards have backlog/open/in-progress/test/review/done states, priority, labels, comments, dependencies and linked sessions. Start work dispatches an agent to a card; manually created sessions can associate with an existing card. The separately installed bd CLI is the storage dependency.

Typed value: Yes.
Shared chat guests can send instructions under host-controlled modes.
- Visibility: Guests see shared chats.
- Coprompting: Guest messages may go directly to the agent in Send mode, with guest name, or await owner approval in Ask me mode.
- Attribution: Guest messages are labelled with the guest name.
- Permissions: Ask me, Send or View only.
- Documentation establishes only the named facts. Unknown atomic questions and unrun scenarios remain open.

Keeps going with laptop closed: Yes
Keeps going with laptop closed
Typed value: Yes.
Ghostex runs agents locally, on SSH machines or in boxes created in the user external cloud-provider account. With phone-start enabled, boxes can start while the desktop computer is off; this is not Ghostex-operated vendor compute.
- Managed cloud: Boxes are billed to the user own Instabox/Boat or other configured provider account; no Ghostex-operated runtime is documented.
- Client disconnect: Phone-start can launch external-account boxes with the desktop computer off; local work still requires its host to stay running.
- Only the cited atomic facts are established. No configured product, account, billing or multi-user scenario was run; remaining atomic answers stay unknown.
-
Ghostex: skills/ghostex-help/references/settings.md
Finding: Cloud Boxes use the user Instabox or Boat account and bill that account; phone-start can launch a box while the desktop computer is off. These are user-controlled external cloud accounts, not a Ghostex-operated execution service. Collab owner/guest chat permissions include approve, direct Send and View only; owner controls each shared chat. No named organization/workspace human roles or enterprise SSO are documented. The optional Collab service is separately installed and its hosted implementation is outside the inspected core source.
