Could you build this?

Partial A multi-agent GUI dashboard can be vibe-coded, but managing local sub-processes, PTYs, git worktrees, and token-session reverse engineering across varying proprietary CLIs is technically tricky.

What it would actually take: A native macOS desktop app (Swift/SwiftUI or Electron/Tauri) orchestrating local CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) via pseudoterminals (pty). The hard parts are cleanly intercepting CLI outputs/prompts without breaking interactive sessions, isolating concurrent git worktrees reliably, and parsing private session token telemetry. Requires systems-level desktop programming and CLI process management expertise.

Discussion

Feature requests: Web/HTML-based interface instead of Mac binary, Issue tracker integration, Kanban board task management, Headless remote server support via SSH
