Description

Do we really need another agent orchestrator? Probably not. But I couldn't find one that matched how I actually work with coding agent CLIs, so I built my own.Codelegate is a desktop app (Tauri 2 + React + xterm.js) that organizes agent sessions into a keyboard-first workspace. I built it to solve a few specific frustrations:1. I want to navigate everything with both hands on the keyboard. Sessions switch with `Alt+1..9`, panes with `Alt+A/G/T`. No mouse required. 2. I work on the same repo in parallel using Git worktrees. Codelegate has a built-in worktree flow: create an isolated branch per agent, auto-cleanup on session end. 3. I want to keep using my CLI tools (zellij, etc.) alongside agents, not replace them. 4. I need it on both macOS and Linux.Each session gives you three panes: Agent, Terminal, and Git. The Git pane handles diff review with syntax highlighting, bulk stage/unstage, commit, and amend. Sessions are grouped by repository in the sidebar.Currently supports Claude Code and Codex CLI, but anything that runs in a shell can work.This is v1.0.0 and it only covers the agent CLIs and features I use the most. It's licensed under GPLv3, so it's meant to be forked and shaped into your own workflow.Hope you enjoy using it or making it your own!
