A free desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Make an agent for each job, call several into one conversation with @names, and watch their work on a monitoring timeline. Agents run on your Claude or Codex subscription, an API key, a local model or Parallax credits, and ask before anything risky. Reach them from Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal or email.

Partial The multi-agent chat UI and API wrappers are vibe-codeable, but a safe desktop agent runtime that executes actions locally, asks before risky steps, and supports many model backends needs serious sandboxing and permission design.
What it would actually take: Build an Electron or Tauri desktop shell with a chat UI, an agent registry, and @-mention routing, with adapters for Claude, Codex, API keys, and local models. The hard part is the execution layer: a permission and approval system, sandboxed tool execution, and reliable monitoring of multi-agent work. Security-minded engineers with experience in agent sandboxing and cross-platform desktop distribution are needed.
