Coding Agent Workspaces

orca81.0k★

Orca runs a fleet of coding agents side by side so you can pick the winner. Point it at a task and it spins up several agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, whatever you already use), each working in its own isolated git worktree, then you compare the diffs and merge the one that got it right. It is a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, MIT licensed, and free. Running it is a download. Point it at CLI agents you already have and it handles the worktree juggling, terminal splits, a built-in browser, GitHub and Linear integration, and a tracker for Claude and Codex usage limits. Your real cost is the agent subscriptions: Orca drives tools you already pay for and never sits between you and the model. A mobile companion kicks off runs from your phone. For a solo developer who runs one agent at a time, this is a workflow upgrade the day you install it, and it costs nothing. Small teams get the same benefit per person. Larger teams can run an always-on Orca server inside their own network, and Orca Enterprise is available by contact with no published price. The catch is that parallel agents multiply your token spend fast. Running five agents on the same task means paying for five attempts to keep one. That math works when the task is hard and wasteful when a single agent would have nailed it. Deciding when the fleet is worth it is on you.

Superset (superset.sh)14.7k★

Superset runs a swarm of coding agents at once, each in its own Git worktree so they do not collide. Point it at a repo, launch Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent and others in parallel, then review every diff in one window. This is not Apache Superset, the BI tool at apache/superset. Same name, different project. The desktop app is free forever and you bring your own agent subscriptions. Setup is installing an app, not standing up a server. But running many agents at once is real load on your machine and real review work for you. macOS builds are native, Linux ships as an experimental AppImage, Windows has nothing. Free covers one user and local workspaces, which is the whole product for a solo developer. Pro runs $20 per user per month, or $180 a year, and adds remote workspaces, unlimited users, and Linear and Slack integrations. Enterprise adds SAML SSO, SCIM and audit logs. Running one agent at a time? Use opencode (anomalyco/opencode) or aider (Aider-AI/aider) directly. The catch is the license. Elastic License 2.0 is source-available, not open source. You can read and run the code, but not offer it as a competing service. Plan around that before you build on it.

hapi5.1k★

Hapi runs a Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or OpenCode session on your laptop and lets you control it from a phone or browser. The agent stays where it works best (your machine, your file system) and a web/PWA/Telegram app gives you remote eyes and a remote keyboard. End-to-end encrypted via WireGuard plus TLS. AGPL. Setup is one npx command. You get a URL and QR code, scan it, and you are looking at the active session from anywhere. Workspace browsing is opt-in. Voice control works through a built-in assistant, and Telegram approvals let you sign off on agent actions while away from the keyboard. The relay is provided, but you can self-host with Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale. Solo developers running long agent loops: this is the most polished way to monitor them away from the desk. Small teams: same value, but pair-sharing across teammates is not the use case. Large teams: stick to internal devloop tools. The AGPL license adds friction for enterprise legal reviews. The catch: it is built around a relay you do not own. Self-hosting is supported, but the easy path uses someone else's WireGuard hub. Read the security model before you point it at production credentials.

openharness1.0k★

OpenHarness runs a crowd of coding agents side by side and lets you watch them all from one desktop app. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot and nine more each get their own tmux pane and, optionally, their own git worktree, across any machines you link over an encrypted connection. It comes from Autonomous, the company better known for standing desks, and the app is MIT and free to download. Install is a curl script from Autonomous's own domain, and the daemon auto-updates. macOS is the main platform; Linux is in progress and Windows isn't there yet. It doesn't wrap the agents, so each one still needs its own subscription or API key. Right now you need an Autonomous account even for purely local use, and the project's own docs list removing that as an outstanding requirement. Hosted machines beyond one small free one are the paid part, with no public price list yet. Solo: worth a try if you juggle several agents. Teams: wait for account-free local mode. Claude Squad (smtg-ai/claude-squad) does the tmux-and-worktrees job with no account at all. The catch: "open source, all of it" is overstated. The sign-in service and the hosted machine manager are closed, so you can't run the whole thing yourself. And until a September 29, 2026 commit, the desktop and phone apps sent usage analytics like app opens, sign-ins and agents created.

herdrm721★

herdrm is a native macOS window onto every coding agent you have running, local or over SSH. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok, and OpenCode across your Mac and any box you can reach, each on a real PTY at full TUI fidelity, with a sidebar showing which one is working, blocked, or done. It is a client for herdr, the Apache 2.0 runtime that owns the terminals. The details show someone uses this daily. SSH targets accept user@host, explicit ports, ssh:// URIs, and ~/.ssh/config aliases, with auth falling back from OpenSSH keys to Tailscale SSH to a password kept in the macOS Keychain rather than a file. Failures name themselves instead of reporting a bare not connected. Files and images paste straight into Claude Code or Codex, locally or streamed over SSH. Free, with signed builds and a Sparkle appcast so it updates itself. The recurring cost is the agent subscriptions you already pay for. Mac only, and herdr has to be running on every machine you want in that sidebar. The catch is that there is no license file. herdr itself is Apache 2.0, but this client ships without one, which legally means no rights granted at all. Given the release cadence it is almost certainly an oversight, and it will still fail a dependency audit.
