An open-source (MIT) agentic IDE by Stably AI for running multiple coding agents in parallel, each in an isolated Git worktree—“prompt to merged PR.” Supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor CLI; macOS, Windows, and Linux. In the same space as Herdr and cmux.

Powerful and well made, but its whole model is built around worktrees, and I don’t like using worktrees for most cases—the isolated checkouts add complexity that everyday tasks don’t need. I prefer the simpler Herdr.
