Documentation

Firetower is a control plane for coding agents. Give it a machine you can SSH into and a repository, describe some work, and it cuts a branch, opens a worktree, starts tmux and keeps the agent running — then tells you the moment it stops being useful without you.

Two ways to run it:

Host it yourself — the app on a machine you control, and a worker on every machine that should run agents.
Firetower Cloud — the app runs for you. Coming soon.

Start

Getting started→Two ways to run Firetower — host it yourself today, or the cloud when it arrives. What each one asks of you.Key concepts→The three parts of Firetower — the Firetower itself, a worker on every machine that should run agents, and the client you open — and how they fit together.

Install

Install the Firetower→Install the Firetower — the control plane — with the CLI: what it asks, what it checks, and what it writes.Add a machine→Run sessions on a machine you already own: give it Firetower's key, add it over SSH, and Firetower installs the worker.

Upgrade

Upgrade the Firetower→firetower upgrade backs up the database, pulls the new release, and names every machine left running an older worker.Upgrade the worker→Firetower reinstalls a worker over ssh from the Updates screen or the machine's panel — and what a worker that has drifted behind the app stops being able to do.

Using Firetower

Connect GitHub→Register the OAuth application a Firetower authorises against, turn on its device flow, and connect your GitHub account — with the one checkbox everybody forgets.

Getting started is the short version of the choice. If you already know you want to host it yourself, how self-hosting works explains the two things you run, and Install is the two-minute version.
