Centralizes agent management so team leads can assign work, review outputs, and track productivity across multiple concurrent AI-assisted development workflows from a single interface.

macOS parallel AI agent orchestrator. Free tier ($0) for unlimited local Git worktree agent orchestration (BYOK/subscriptions). Pro tier ($19/mo) unlocks persistent Cloud microVM workspaces, Conductor API, and mobile companion app. Team tier (invite-only) offers Conductor Multiplayer shared agent workspaces and admin controls. Enterprise tier provides custom SLAs and SAML/SCIM.

Emdash

82/100open sourceexplicit relation

Open-source agentic development environment for running multiple coding agents in parallel using isolated Git worktrees.

Free and 100% open source under the MIT License. Emdash charges $0 for desktop terminal orchestration and Git worktree isolation; users only pay for their own LLM API tokens when executing CLI coding agents.Review →

Parallel Code

open sourceexplicit relation

Open-source desktop app for orchestrating multiple AI coding agents simultaneously. Auto-creates git worktrees per agent and symlinks shared dependencies to prevent conflicts between parallel tasks. Designed for teams and power users who want to run several AI agents on different features or bugs at the same time, maximizing throughput while keeping each agent's changes cleanly isolated.

100% free and open-source desktop application under the MIT License. $0 platform fees; runs local CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) across isolated Git worktrees with a tiled terminal UI and keyboard-first navigation using developer's own API keys.

Jean

86/100open sourceexplicit relation

Jean is an open-source desktop dev environment for AI agents from coolLabs (the team behind Coolify). It runs multiple coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, and others — in parallel inside isolated git worktrees, each with its own chat session and terminal. Magic git commands handle commits, PR descriptions, code reviews, and merge conflicts with AI assistance, while built-in Linear and GitHub integrations load issue context into every session.

100% free and open source under the open-source license ($0 software cost). Jean is a local-first desktop AI development environment for managing and running AI coding agents in parallel across isolated Git worktrees with zero software licensing fees.Review →
