Task Sync
Task Sync streams task activity from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can monitor progress from any device — desktop, tablet, or phone. This feature is free for all users.
Important
- Roo Code remains completely free and open source
- Task Sync only sends data one-way (from your IDE to the cloud) for monitoring
- All model execution still happens locally in your VS Code
- For remote control capabilities, see Roomote Control
What is Task Sync?
Task Sync creates a live, one-way stream of your task messages and status from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can:
- Monitor long-running tasks from your phone while away from your desk
- See real-time updates (messages, mode changes, status)
- Check when a task completes without sitting in front of your IDE
- Review your cloud task history later
Key Capabilities
- Realtime monitoring from any browser (desktop, tablet, phone)
- Live message stream and status indicators (running, idle, interactive)
- Cloud task history for later review
- Secure, one-way sync of task data only
Getting Started
- Connect your IDE (see Login/Signup)
- Open or start a task in your local Roo Code extension
- Visit the dashboard at https://app.roocode.com to monitor in real time
Task Sync is available automatically after you connect your account. No extra configuration is required.
Mobile Monitoring
Task Sync is optimized for mobile. Check in on progress between meetings, during a build, or while a model is running — without being stuck at your desk.
Upgrading to Remote Control
If you also want to continue tasks remotely (approve actions, respond to prompts, start/stop tasks), enable Roomote Control.
Pro includes a free 14‑day trial, then $20/month — see Billing & Subscriptions.
Limitations
- One-way monitoring only; no cloud commands are sent to your IDE
- Requires your IDE to be open and connected
- Internet connection required for live updates
