One coding agent orchestrator UI for Claude and Codex, but actually feels nice.Free, open-source, MIT licensed.Why I built it:- I wanted a lightweight UI as nice as the Codex app, but without the complexity and the custom diffs on the side- I want files and diffs open straight in my editor!- And I wanted both agents - Anthropic + OpenAI — in one placeHow it works:- No API keys, no OAuth, no separate billing — it just uses whatever you're already logged into. So your Claude Max and ChatGPT/Codex subscriptions both work out of the box.- Talks to Claude Code via the Claude Agent SDK- Talks to Codex via its app-server JSON-RPCFor now it's MacOS-only but can be easily extended to other platforms.
