Agent Deck review

Agent Deck is a terminal interface that lists all your coding-agent sessions on one screen and shows whether each is running, waiting or done. We read the vendor's site and GitHub pages in October 2026. We did not run an independent test.

Who it is for

Terminal users on macOS or Linux who run several different agent tools and want one status view with worktrees and MCP management.

What stands out

The README lists integrations for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Codex, Copilot, Cursor and others, each with a stated level of support. Sessions can be grouped, searched, forked and archived.

New sessions can get their own git worktree, with setup and teardown scripts that need your approval before they run. Optional Docker sandboxes are available. An MCP manager attaches servers per session or globally. Remote decks run commands on another host through SSH key authentication, and a local web UI is started with agent-deck web.

For phone follow-up, an optional "conductor" session connects to Telegram, Slack, Discord or Mattermost bots, and ntfy topics can feed it. The code is MIT-licensed, and we read the licence file. Release v1.16.34 is dated 25 October 2026.

Where it falls short

There is no native Windows build. The README offers Windows only through WSL, and releases cover macOS and Linux.
One named maintainer runs the project, and the README asks for one or two co-maintainers.
Releases are very frequent, and the README flags a recent change to how the new-session key behaves.
The README is the only documentation hub we found; the project site linked from GitHub returned a 404.
There is no official mobile app, and the phone bridges need extra setup.

Price

No price is listed. The code is MIT-licensed. It runs the agent tools and logins already on your machine, and the README notes that Claude Code plan limits assume ordinary individual use. Seen 28 October 2026.

Verdict

Choose it if you switch between several agent CLIs in a terminal on macOS or Linux and want worktrees and MCP in one place. Look elsewhere if you need a native Windows or graphical app.

Facts: platforms, price and licence

platforms: macOSLinuxREADME: 'Works on: macOS, Linux, Windows (WSL)'. Release v1.16.34 ships darwin and linux archives (amd64, arm64) only; no native Windows build. The GitHub Pages site linked from the repo returned 404 on 2026-10-28.

Agent Deck strengths

Supports many tools: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Codex, Copilot, Cursor and others, with per-tool integration levels listed in the README
Per-session git worktrees with setup and teardown scripts, plus optional Docker sandboxes
MCP manager attaches MCP servers per session or globally; remote decks run commands on other hosts over SSH
Phone follow-up is possible through an optional conductor with Telegram, Slack, Discord or Mattermost bridges, and ntfy watchers

Agent Deck weak points

No native Windows build; README offers Windows only through WSL
Single named maintainer; README asks for 1-2 co-maintainers
Very fast release cadence (v1.16.34, several releases in the last week), and the README flags a recent change to the new-session key behaviour
The README is the only documentation hub seen; the linked project site returned 404, and the Telegram/Slack bridge is optional extra setup

Who Agent Deck is for

best for: Terminal users on macOS or Linux who run several different agent CLIs and want one status view, worktrees and MCP management.
look elsewhere if: Users who want a native Windows or GUI app, or a cloud-hosted service.
