Read the full description
Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, OpenCode or any shell side by side, each in its own Git worktree, with a queue of agents waiting on you and diff review. A separate daemon holds the sessions, so agents keep running when you quit, crash or update the app. Rust desktop app, no Electron or web view. Oct 28 benchmark (Krill 0.2.20 vs Orca 1.4.242, 10 terminals, screen on): 1/7 the memory, idle CPU and install size. Free, Apache-2.0. Apple Silicon Mac; Windows preview.

Partial The UI and git-worktree orchestration are vibe-codeable, but a reliable native Rust desktop app with a persistent session daemon, PTY handling, and crash-safe recovery needs systems-level expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a Rust core for process and PTY management, git worktree orchestration, and a long-lived daemon that owns sessions over a local IPC socket. Put a native Rust GUI (for example Tauri without the web view, or egui/iced) on top, plus diff review and an agent queue. The hard parts are reliable session persistence across app updates and crashes, and terminal emulation fidelity, which typically require a developer comfortable with systems programming.
