Workspaces for running AI coding agents

~/notes

• MXterm Pro made by us best for: Developers who run AI coding agents and SSH sessions together and want one native window, plus phone access to those sessions. look elsewhere if: Anyone who needs an X11 server, RDP/VNC, serial consoles or a hosted team vault today.
• AgentsRoom best for: Developers juggling many projects and agents who want status, backlog and mobile oversight on any desktop OS. look elsewhere if: Users wanting an open-source tool or a plain SSH/SFTP client.
• Claude Code Desktop best for: Claude subscribers who want a GUI for several parallel Claude Code sessions with worktrees, review and phone continuation. look elsewhere if: Users who want to mix agents from several vendors or need a fully open-source workspace.
• cmux best for: Mac users who want a Ghostty-based terminal that surfaces which agent needs attention, with scriptable browser and CLI. look elsewhere if: Windows or Linux users, or people wanting automatic per-agent git worktree isolation.
• Codex app (now the ChatGPT desktop app) best for: Developers with a ChatGPT subscription who want a first-party GUI for parallel Codex tasks with worktrees and phone follow-up. look elsewhere if: Teams wanting an open-source workspace or one that drives Claude Code and other vendors' agents.
• Conductor best for: Mac developers who want a polished manager for several parallel coding agents with review and merge flow, optionally with shared cloud workspaces. look elsewhere if: Windows or Linux users, or anyone who requires an open-source tool.
• Emdash best for: Developers on any desktop OS who want a free, open-source worktree-per-task agent manager with SSH remote support and issue-tracker intake. look elsewhere if: Users who need a mobile companion or a lightweight terminal-only tool.
• Herdr best for: Developers who live in a terminal and want persistent, status-aware multi-agent sessions across local and SSH machines. look elsewhere if: Users wanting a graphical app with built-in diff review, browser panes or a phone companion.
• Offrun best for: Mac users who already pay for several coding agents and want a free parallel-worktree front end. look elsewhere if: Windows or Linux users, or anyone requiring open-source code.
• Orca best for: Developers who want a free, open-source, cross-platform app to run several coding agents side by side in separate worktrees. look elsewhere if: Users who want a plain terminal emulator or SSH client without agent and git-worktree workflow.
• Paseo best for: Developers running several coding agents at once who want to monitor and steer them from a phone. look elsewhere if: Users wanting a general SSH/SFTP client or a hosted, zero-setup agent service.
• Splash best for: Developers who want a free, open-source GUI to run several ACP-compatible agents in parallel worktrees across macOS, Windows or Linux. look elsewhere if: Anyone needing a mature, supported product or a native phone app for steering agents.
• Superset best for: Mac developers who want parallel worktree-based agents with scheduled automations and phone follow-up, and can accept a source-available license. look elsewhere if: Windows users or teams that require an OSI-approved open-source license.
• T3 Code best for: Developers who run several agent CLIs and want one open-source UI usable from desktop, browser and phone. look elsewhere if: Anyone who needs a stable, fully documented, contribution-friendly project today.
• Termary best for: Mac users running several Claude Code or Codex agents in parallel who want worktree isolation and phone monitoring. look elsewhere if: Anyone needing Windows or Linux, an open-source terminal, or a general-purpose SSH/SFTP client.
• Tern best for: Developers running several coding agents in parallel who want worktree isolation, review queue and phone approval for free. look elsewhere if: Users needing a general SSH/SFTP client, Windows support, or open source.
• Warp best for: Developers who want an AI-agent-centric terminal with shared workflows and optional team plans. look elsewhere if: Users who want a classic SSH/serial/port-forwarding client or a terminal with no AI or paid-tier surface.
• Xum (formerly Mux) best for: Developers who want an open-source, model-agnostic agent workspace with worktree and SSH runtimes and browser access. look elsewhere if: People who want a polished stable Windows app or to run vendor CLIs such as Claude Code inside the app.
