Agetor

Code inspected

A local kanban control plane for parallel Claude Code, Codex, experimental Cursor Agent, and Gemini CLI tasks, isolated worktrees, structured approvals, and review.

Multi-harness workspaceOpen sourcemacOS
Product details and evidence
Best for
macOS developers coordinating several local tasks or accounts across repositories while keeping each task on its own branch and worktree.
Check first
The packaged app is Apple-silicon macOS only, Codex support is newer than the public-site copy, and the product explicitly provides no cloud relay or remote sandbox.
Harness coverage
Claude Code, Codex + 2 moreThe pinned source implements Claude Code and Codex. Release 0.0.18 adds experimental, disabled-by-default Cursor Agent, while 0.1.0 adds Gemini CLI as a built-in harness; account or binary aliases do not establish additional integrations.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    Independent harness tasks can run in parallel across repositories, worktrees, and account-specific homes.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    Git repositories use a pinned base commit and a dedicated branch and worktree per task by default.

  • documented
    visual review

    The desktop board exposes task diffs in a dedicated dialog alongside run output and approval cards.

  • contradicted
    remote execution or access

    The current product record says execution stays on the local machine and provides no cloud relay or remote sandbox.

  • unknown
    shared team access

    The current first-party record does not establish teammates entering the same live Agetor workspace.

First-party sources
  • Agetor 0.1.0 Gemini CLI release

    Built-in Gemini CLI harness support alongside saved prompts, message reuse, task-stream tool-call folding, and Cursor plan approval handling.

A cross-platform Cowork app for many named coding agents, parallel sessions, visual file changes, automation, and browser access.

Multi-harness workspaceOpen sourcemacOS · Windows · Linux · Browser
Product details and evidence
Best for
Users who want broad named-agent coverage, a built-in agent, desktop and browser surfaces, and remote access from their own machine or server.
Check first
Its Team Mode coordinates agents rather than human teammates, and the documented shared-folder model does not establish per-session worktree isolation.

Aion CLI, Antigravity + 18 moreThe pinned product record, 2.1.46 release, and 2.1.57–2.1.60 changelog establish 20 external CLI integrations plus a built-in agent. Additional backends must speak its supported ACP path; that is not evidence that an arbitrary CLI can be launched.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    Multi-Agent Mode runs multiple agents simultaneously with independent conversation context.

  • unknown
    workspace isolation

    Current first-party sources do not establish automatic branch or worktree isolation; Team Mode explicitly uses one shared folder.

Code audit

Inspected commit 0f7635b2f8a6.

  • The pinned product record plus the 2.1.46 release establish 19 external CLI integrations and separate them from its built-in agent.
  • The pinned Antigravity E2E path exercises selection, direct-CLI startup, first-turn delivery, model options, and reported token usage without transferring Antigravity capability claims to AionUi.
  • Multi-Agent and Team Mode surfaces are implemented, with Team Mode coordinating agents over a shared folder.

Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    Split views and cross-agent delegation run independent sessions side by side inside one workspace.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    Built-in Git worktree flows create a separate branch, directory, and conversation for parallel work; repository issues and pull requests can also start isolated agent worktrees.

The audit establishes OpenCode-specific workspace mechanisms, not support for other harnesses or reliable multi-user collaboration.

A visual OpenHands workspace for parallel agents, per-conversation worktrees, diffs, local or remote backends, automations, and ACP harnesses.

Multi-harness workspaceOpen sourcemacOS · Windows · Linux · Browser
Product details and evidence
Best for
Teams or individuals who want one open interface across OpenHands and three external harnesses, with self-hosted or managed execution backends.
Check first
The pinned testing matrix does not yet cover real external-harness credentials, subscription-login paths, macOS, or Windows in CI, so integration presence is not reliability evidence.
Harness coverage
Claude Code, Codex + 2 moreFour providers are documented directly, and a custom stdio ACP server can be configured. The external harness keeps its own model, tools, execution, and credentials; ACP compatibility is not arbitrary-CLI support.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    Agent Canvas runs multiple agents simultaneously and keeps their conversations visible in one interface.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    The product page documents a separate Git worktree for each parallel agent.

  • documented
    visual review

    The current client implements a dedicated Changes route that loads and renders repository diffs for the active conversation.

  • documented
    remote execution or access

    The same frontend switches among local agent servers, self-hosted remote VMs, and OpenHands Cloud backends.

  • documented
    shared team access

    Official sources describe team-shared Agent Server access and team sharing through the managed cloud backend.

Inspected commit 1708efc44608.

  • The current Agent Canvas repository documents OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and custom stdio ACP configuration.
  • The client implements a dedicated repository-changes route backed by a unified Git-diff query.
  • The testing matrix records current credential, subscription-login, and platform coverage gaps for ACP providers.

The audit establishes integration and review mechanisms at the pinned commit; its own test matrix prevents treating presence as cross-provider reliability evidence.

QM

Code inspected

A self-hosted web and Slack control plane for scoped, durable agent work across four named harnesses.

Multi-harness workspaceOpen sourceBrowser
Product details and evidence
Best for
Startups that need personal and shared agent scopes, background work, policy controls, and isolated cloud workspaces in one deployment.
Check first
QM is early experimental software, requires an operator-owned cloud deployment, documents material security gaps, and does not currently establish an integrated visual code-review surface or arbitrary-CLI support.
Harness coverage
Claude Code, Codex + 2 moreFour named harness adapters drive the same core. Their own access, model routes, capabilities, and security posture remain independent from QM.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    The official web-UI example shows concurrent sessions, while the core persists and supervises independent session runs.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    Each person or room receives a scoped durable sandbox, files, memory, keychain view, permissions, and background jobs.

  • unknown
    visual review

    The current first-party record does not establish an integrated diff, code-review, or merge surface.

  • documented
    remote execution or access

    Web and Slack clients steer work in an operator-owned cloud deployment, with durable sandboxes, queues, crons, watches, and background workers.

  • documented
    shared team access

    Personal scopes coexist with shared Slack channels, group messages, projects, shared skills, and organization policy.

First-party sources
  • QM product and architecture overview

    Web and Slack surfaces, scoped workspaces, durable state, background work, collaboration, deployment model, and security postures.

  • QM harness adapters

    Runtime selection across the four named Pi, OpenCode, Codex, and Claude Code adapters without an arbitrary-CLI claim.

  • QM security policy

    Scope isolation goals, sandbox and credential boundaries, approvals, screening, auditing, and explicit known limitations.

  • QM deployment guide

    Operator-owned cloud deployment, web and Slack plugins, persistence, sandbox infrastructure, and live verification.

Code audit

Inspected commit 7f2c916360f1.

  • The core supervises durable session runs and routes them to four named harness adapters.
  • Scope-specific state, policy, persistence, sandbox routing, background workers, and web or Slack surfaces are implemented in the pinned tree.
  • The public code establishes workflow mechanisms but not arbitrary-CLI support, visual-review completeness, security guarantees, or task-success rates.
Inspected paths
  • README.md
  • SECURITY.md
  • deployment.md
  • src/core/orchestrator.ts
  • src/harness/harness-router.ts
  • src/runs/worker.ts
  • src/sandbox/sandbox-routing.ts
  • plugins/web-ui/README.md

QM calls itself early experimental software and documents material gaps in command policy, browser approval coverage, screening, egress enforcement, governance, and data retention. The audit confirms implementation presence rather than operational safety or reliability.

Qwen Code Desktop

Code inspected

The first-party Qwen Code desktop shell with multi-session and split views, optional worktrees, visual Git diffs, and a bundled local runtime.

Harness-native GUIOpen sourcemacOS · Windows · Linux
Product details and evidence
Best for
Qwen Code users who want the first-party visual workflow on macOS, Windows, or Linux without installing the CLI separately.
Check first
The current thin shell is intentionally local, single-window, and single-workspace at a time; remote backends and shared teammate access are not desktop capabilities.
Harness coverage
Qwen CodeThe desktop package embeds the Qwen Code CLI runtime and reuses its Web Shell. Provider breadth inside Qwen Code is model routing, not support for another coding harness.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    The shared Web Shell can select multiple sessions and display them concurrently in an in-window split view.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    The new-session Git-mode control can create a named Git worktree and root the session in that checkout.

  • documented
    visual review

    The Web Shell includes a dedicated Git diff dialog with file lists, expandable hunks, additions, deletions, and binary states.

  • contradicted
    remote execution or access

    The current Desktop design starts an authenticated daemon on a random loopback port and intentionally keeps external URLs outside the app.

  • unknown
    shared team access

    Current first-party Desktop sources do not establish multiple teammates entering the same live workspace.

First-party sources
Code audit

Inspected commit e1e5b42ce110.

  • The desktop shell embeds the Qwen Code daemon and reuses the first-party Web Shell.
  • The Web Shell implements multi-session split view, selectable Git-worktree mode, and a structured Git-diff dialog.
  • The desktop design constrains the daemon to loopback and the UI to one window and workspace at a time.

Superset

Code inspected

A local desktop code editor for many CLI agents running in isolated Git worktrees.

Multi-harness workspaceSource availablemacOS
Product details and evidence
Best for
Mac power users and teams who want high concurrency, arbitrary CLI compatibility, local or cloud workspaces, terminals, diffs, and editor handoff.
Check first
Windows and Linux desktop builds are explicitly untested. Local remote access requires an opted-in host and relay; the separate cloud-workspace path is backed by third-party Blaxel sandboxes.
Harness coverage

    The product documents ten or more simultaneous local coding agents.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    Every task is placed in an isolated Git worktree.

  • documented
    visual review

    A built-in diff viewer, editor, terminal, external-editor handoff, and pull-request split view are implemented.

  • documented
    remote execution or access

    Remote hosts expose full workspaces, terminals, ports, agent runs, and diffs through Superset Relay; version 1.24.0 also exposes cloud-workspace creation, terminals, and agent actions from mobile.

Traycer

Code inspected

An open-source desktop control plane for multi-provider agent tasks with shared context, worktrees, diffs, remote hosts, and team access.

Multi-harness workspaceOpen sourcemacOS · Windows · Linux
Product details and evidence
Best for
Teams that need shared agent tasks, agent-to-agent delegation, isolated worktrees, visual review, and access to a reachable execution host.
Check first
Most named integrations are chat-only, and agent-to-agent delivery varies by interface. Live terminals, files, diffs, and agent processes remain on the original Host; cross-device Hosts are marked coming soon.
Harness coverage
Claude Code, Codex + 14 moreSixteen named coding-agent paths are listed in the chat interface. Only Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode are also listed for the terminal interface, with different agent-to-agent message support.
Capability claims
  • documented
    parallel sessions

    A Task can contain parent and child agents with independent sessions and run state, including parallel fire-and-forget instructions.

  • documented
    workspace isolation

    Agents can use separate Git worktrees, each with its own checkout, directory, branch, and diff scope.

  • documented
    visual review

    The Git Diff panel shows changed files for the selected worktree with search, summaries, grouping, and explicit loading or error states.

  • documented
    remote execution or access

    The desktop client can connect to a reachable Host that owns the workspace, terminal, files, diffs, and agent processes.

  • documented
