Run multiple AI coding agents side by side, each in their own isolated git worktree and monitor from your phone.

Parallel Code lets you dispatch tasks to AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI — and watch them work simultaneously. Each task gets its own git branch and worktree, so agents never step on each other's code. When a task is done, merge it back to main with one click.

Features

One app for every AI coding CLI

Use Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI from the same interface. Switch between agents per task, or run all three at once — no juggling terminal windows.

Automatic branches and worktrees

Every task gets its own git branch and worktree instantly. Agents work in full isolation — no conflicts, no stashing, no waiting. Five agents, five features, one repo. Merge back to main when you're done.

Monitor from your phone

Scan a QR code and watch all your agent terminals live on your phone — over Wi-Fi or Tailscale. Step away from your desk while your agents keep working.

Keyboard-first, zero friction

Navigate panels, create tasks, send prompts, merge branches, push to remote — all without touching the mouse. Every action has a shortcut, and Ctrl+/ shows them all.

And more

• Tiled panel layout with drag-to-reorder
• Built-in diff viewer and changed files list per task
• Shell terminals per task, scoped to the worktree
• Direct mode for working on the main branch without isolation

• State persists across restarts
• macOS and Linux

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• At least one AI coding CLI installed: Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI

Install & Run

git clone https://github.com/johannesjo/parallel-code.git
cd parallel-code
npm install
npm run dev

How It Works

When you create a task, Parallel Code:

1. Creates a new git branch from your main branch
2. Sets up a git worktree so the agent works in a separate directory
3. Symlinks node_modules and other gitignored directories into the worktree
4. Spawns the AI agent in that worktree

This means you can have five agents working on five different features at the same time, all from the same repo, with zero conflicts. When you're happy with the result, merge the branch back to main from the sidebar.
