    Everyone's building the same thing nowadays ^^

    Best of luck with this but I think with so many open source agent managers cropping up, you are going to need to provide very special USP to have people choose yours over the free and open versions.

    I guess I would suggest that should be a priority for your site and documentation, to help devs understand what that value offer is.

    Your site does seem nicely presented though and clarity in capability is possibly an early win over some of the more chaotic documentation elsewhere.

      I appreciate the feedback!

    This looks dangerously close to cmux but with a narrower focus (Just Claude code)

    BTW, the claude app kind supports this with the /remote-control command, and that was what made me move away from cmux (I still have to start the sessions there)

    The observability stack (logs, metrics, traces) is often an afterthought but should be a first-class architectural concern. You cannot improve what you cannot measure, and you cannot debug what you cannot observe.

    Theo's t3code does a lot of this for free I think. Interested to know if it uses the same trick for accessing Claude without violating their TOS.

    Maybe I'm daft, I watched the video, and I just didn't understand what this is, or why I'd use it.

    Seems like just tabs of claude code, plus markdown viewer which can just be another tab (with an editor) in a tabbed terminal?

    My ide supports multiple terminal tabs, plus is a project aware code viewer, and has the ability to run the project.

    What would I gain by using this?

    I started building a similar project for myself, a terminal PTY running through a desktop daemon: https://youtu.be/6KY-HCn3SaA

    The fun part being it worked on mobile too: https://youtube.com/shorts/CmemwDGwpx8?si=xzAJBb8ha7DLIDmY

    It was more of a tool for myself but some interest from others inspired me so iterating on it. People interested in this kind of thing should join my slack! https://monetworkspace.com/terminal

    How can people afford to use Claude Code like this‽ Is everyone just playing with it on their employer's dime or what?
    • myleshenderson 4 minutes ago
      I have two claude code subscriptions: a team plan through my employer and I'm paying for the $200/month plan outside of that.

      Trading $200/month of my money for the ability to build all of the things I've been thinking about for years is a great trade for me. I've built more things for fun/potential profit in the last year than I did in the previous decade combined.

      And of course, one of the things I've built is a version of what OP made that works exactly how I want it to work. :)

      This uses the CLIs so its using subscription pricing, not token pricing

      I build my own products and services and the effective ROI for paying for a more or less unlimited max Claude Code plan is fairly ridiculously positive.

      200 dollars a month goes a long way with claude code

      VC funding + spending more money on Claude instead of hiring more engineers
  • BrandiATMuhkuh 1 hour ago
    Very cool. And congrats on the launch.

    I started to use superset 2 days ago. Which seems similar. It's pretty nice: https://superset.sh

    Fyi: here are some things I would like to have for such a tool - notification when an agent is done - each tabs/space has its own terminal, browser, agent - each tab/space runs in a sandbox (eg docker) - each tab/space can run my dev server. But must not conflict with the other dev servers running - each tab/space has a mcp server for the built in browser

    Nice to have: - remote access against my machine/tabs - being able to make screenshots

    Please review the site design. Between the thin blue lines appearing & disappearing, and the "television static" in the background I gave up attempting to read anything in the first 30 seconds on the site because my eyes were drawn anywhere other than the content.
    • tordrt 1 hour ago
      Appreciate the feedback! Looking into it
  • causal 50 minutes ago
    I'm confused, I've been running parallel agents on different worktrees within a single view of Claude Desktop for at least a month. I don't see any new features here?
    • MattDamonSpace 36 minutes ago
      Fair but FWIW I love a GUI and I’m not gonna complain if everyone and their mother want to offer options

      Let a thousand vibecoded flowers bloom

  • electrovir 1 hour ago
    I've built my own as well, in a terminal. Not pretty, but does the job until something better comes along (maybe Baton is that something better): https://github.com/electrovir/agent-storm

    I don’t know how to phrase this without sounding like an arrogant idiot but seriously: what are people actually programming with agents + worktrees + harnesses + tasks + skills + whatnot? Most workflows I see people adopt involve large amounts of infrastructural fluff only to (more) quickly generate what I (anecdotally) have seen is somewhere between code generation of boilerplatish React/laravel/your-fav-framework components for web or native, and niche toy apps for mostly personal use. My very limited usage of agents has been for scanning large (bloated) codebases to get rid of unused code, meaning time consuming and tedious tasks. But it seems the general trend is that programmers just want faster horses?
    • sam0x17 52 minutes ago
      Yeah perfect example, the main thing I _would_ use multiple agents on is optimizing/benchmarking code, but for that you specifically can't use worktree, you need one agent per machine or they'll taint each other's benchmarks

    Nice tool for working multiple sessions without them tripping over each-other.

    I appreciate that you provided multiple OS versions rather than just go for Mac only like some.

    • tordrt 1 hour ago
      I have tried to provide after best ability, but have only been testing them on vm's on my mac! So be aware. I labeled them Beta due to this. But most features should work fine, probably better on linux than windows.
  • throwaw12 1 hour ago
    This looks impressive!

    How do you restore the state from the old workspaces? do you spawn tmux and resume the conversation or do you do it differently? from the video it felt like instant

    • tordrt 1 hour ago
      The underlying git worktree still lives on your disk until you delete it. So its not harder than starting a terminal with claude --continue, or codex resume --last inside the git worktree, depending on what agent the user used.

    Congrats on your launch! How is this different than Conductor?
    • tordrt 1 hour ago
      The main difference is that Baton is agent-agnostic and terminal-native. It doesn't add a GUI on top of Claude Code or Codex, it builds around the terminal itself, so you run whatever agent CLI you want natively, but with convenient shortcuts for launching them. Which is a nicer experience in my view, but people have different views on this.

      Baton is also more git-aware. Instead of just showing raw diff line counts, you see commits ahead and behind your target branch, so you can tell at a glance how far each workspace has diverged and shortcuts for resolving it in the matter you want.

      One thing I think is unique is the built-in MCP server. It lets agents spawn new workspaces programmatically, so you use an agent to launch agents in new isolated workspaces.

    • giwook 1 hour ago
      Would be curious if it is more polished than Conductor. Memory leaks and random bugs seem to crop up in Conductor far too often.
    • FrankRay78 1 hour ago
      If nothing else, I see that Conductor is currently Mac only.

    This looks great. How do you compare to cmux?

    I have seen teams spend months fine-tuning retrieval algorithms when the real issue was that their ingestion pipeline was feeding HTML boilerplate into the vector store. Fix the input first.

    It’s blank. Lots of blank gray rectangles too. Site is broken?

  • ninininino 55 minutes ago
    Are agents at worktree level or can a single agent and chat work on a parent directory above multiple worktrees of different repos?
    • tordrt 45 minutes ago
      You can open a directory also as a workspace, it just wont have git stats and git shortcuts.
  • ismail 1 hour ago
    I have not done much multi-agent development. Trying to understand what problem this solves, surely one can spin up multiple terminal tabs?

    Nice work! Congrats on the release, did you check out Vibe-Kanban or Emdash which are both building in this space?

    https://www.emdash.sh/

    https://vibekanban.com/

    What is your secret sauce, so to speak? I personally built my own local tools and system for this, I tried vibekanban but didn't feel like it added much to my productivity, haven't tried emdash yet.
