~/notes
- 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.
- Happy best for: Developers who already pay for Claude/Codex and want an open-source phone and desktop front end for those agent sessions. look elsewhere if: People who need a general-purpose SSH/SFTP client for arbitrary servers.
- La Terminal best for: iPhone/iPad users who want a conventional SSH/Mosh/SFTP client with Secure Enclave keys that can also reach coding agents on a server. look elsewhere if: Android users or anyone requiring an open-source client.
- Moshi best for: Developers who keep agents running in tmux on a remote machine and want a polished Mosh-capable phone terminal. look elsewhere if: Users who need an open-source client or a built-in file transfer tool.
- 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.
- ServerCC best for: Developers running Claude Code or Codex on their own server or Mac who want to resume and manage those sessions from a phone over SSH. look elsewhere if: Users who want a general SSH client with port forwarding, jump hosts or Mosh, or who need open-source code.
- 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.
- TermOnMac best for: Mac users who want to continue a terminal or Claude Code session from iPhone or iPad without configuring SSH. look elsewhere if: People who need to connect to Linux servers, use SSH keys or jump hosts, or use Android.
- 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.
- 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.
