Remocode Onboarding Walkthrough: What Each Step Covers

Remocode Onboarding Walkthrough

When you launch Remocode for the first time after signing in, the app presents a 4-slide onboarding flow. This guided introduction helps you understand the application and get productive quickly. Here is what each step covers and why it matters.

Slide 1: Welcome

The first slide introduces you to Remocode and its core purpose. Key points covered:

• ●What Remocode is — an Electron-based terminal multiplexer designed for AI coding agents
• ●Why it exists — to give developers a single interface for terminal sessions, AI assistants, and remote monitoring
• ●Your account status — confirmation that your Google sign-in was successful and your free 7-day Pro trial is active

If you are among the first 1,000 users, this slide also confirms your 1-year Pro access at no charge.

Slide 2: How It Works

The second slide explains the architecture:

• ●Terminal sessions live in the main area — each pane runs an independent shell
• ●The AI panel (toggled with ⌘⇧A) sits alongside your terminals and communicates with your chosen AI provider
• ●Tabs and splits let you organize multiple sessions within a single window
• ●Workspaces (⌘⇧W) provide pre-configured 2x2 layouts for common workflows

This slide often includes a diagram showing how the terminal area and AI panel relate to each other.

Slide 3: What to Set Up

The third slide focuses on configuration. It guides you to:

• ●Choose an AI provider — the slide lists all five options:
• ●Anthropic (Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5, Haiku 3.5)
• ●OpenAI (GPT-5.4, GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, GPT-5 Nano, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini, o3, o3 Mini)
• ●Google (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.5 Flash)
• ●Groq (Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B, Mixtral 8x7B)
• ●Ollama local (Llama 3.2, Mistral, Code Llama, Qwen 3.5, DeepSeek V3)

• ●Get an API key — with links to each provider's API key page

• ●Optionally set up Telegram — for remote terminal access from your phone

The slide provides a direct link to the Settings panel so you can configure everything without hunting through menus.

Slide 4: Quick Start

The final slide is a reference card of essential keyboard shortcuts:

⌘T        New tab
⌘D        Split right
⌘⇧D       Split down
⌘⇧A       Toggle AI panel
⌘W        Close tab
⌘⇧W       New workspace (2x2)
⌘⇧]       Next tab
⌘⇧[       Previous tab
⌘=        Zoom in
⌘-        Zoom out
⌘0        Reset zoom

This slide encourages you to try each shortcut immediately. Muscle memory for these combinations is the fastest path to productivity.

How to Revisit Onboarding

You can relaunch the onboarding flow at any time:

• ●Click Help in the menu bar
• ●Select Getting Started

The same 4-slide sequence will appear. This is useful if you skipped through it quickly on first launch or want to refresh your memory on shortcuts and settings.

After Onboarding

Once you close the onboarding flow, Remocode opens to a fresh terminal session. From here:

• ●Press `⌘⇧A` to open the AI panel and configure your provider
• ●Press `⌘⇧W` to set up a 2x2 workspace
• ●Start typing commands in the terminal

The onboarding flow is intentionally brief — four slides, no videos to watch, no quizzes to take. Remocode is a tool for developers, and the fastest way to learn it is to start using it.
