multica

Multica manages a fleet of AI coding agents like they're people you hired. Instead of babysitting one agent in your terminal, you assign issues to agents, group them into squads under a leader, watch their progress live, and schedule recurring jobs. It's runtime-agnostic, so it drives Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent, Gemini, and others rather than locking you to one. You can self-host it, and for internal use across your own team that's free.

The stack is a Go backend, a Next.js frontend, and Postgres with pgvector, so standing it up yourself is real ops work, not a one-click install. Recent versions added the headline pieces: squads for routing work to a stable group of agents, a catalog of agent templates you can spin up in one click, and autopilots for scheduled recurring tasks. It's iterating fast, with near-daily releases.

For a solo developer or a small team that wants to run several coding agents in parallel with real visibility into what each one is doing, this is a genuinely useful control layer, and the self-hosted version is free for your own organization. The thing to read carefully is the license. It's a modified Apache 2.0: you can use it internally all you want, but you can't offer Multica as a hosted service to other people or strip its logo without a commercial license, and there's a managed cloud at multica.ai for teams that don't want to self-host.

The catch is that this is source-available, not classic open source, and it's young. If you're a developer running it for your own team, none of the restrictions touch you and it's free. If you're thinking about building a product on top of it or reselling it, that's exactly what the commercial clause is there to stop. Know which side of that line you're on before you commit.
