Read the full description
A free desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux that puts Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode in an MSN-style buddy list. Use separate Git worktrees for separate jobs, or group-chat agents in a shared folder. Let them take turns, answer together or hand unfinished tasks to another agent. Review diffs, run terminals, preview your app and track PR checks beside the chat. Bring your own agent accounts; provider access and usage are separate.
