Omnigent
Open-source orchestration layer that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi and custom agents from a CLI, web UI, macOS app or phone, with policies, OS sandboxes and cloud sandboxes.
Omnigent review
Omnigent is an open-source orchestration layer for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents. You can use it from a CLI, web UI, macOS app or phone. It is Apache-2.0 licensed and marked alpha. We read the vendor's site and GitHub pages in October 2026. We did not run an independent test.
Who it is for
Developers who want one open-source layer to run and supervise several coding agents from terminal, browser and phone.
What stands out
A single session can mix Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi and custom agents defined in YAML. Policies can require approval before risky actions, cap spend or limit tools, at server, agent or session level.
Agents can run in a local OS sandbox or in cloud sandboxes such as Modal, Daytona, E2B and Kubernetes. Sessions can be shared by URL and continued on a phone. Mobile options are an iOS app, an Android app on Google Play and a web UI that installs as a PWA.
The README includes a coding orchestrator example that delegates to sub-agents in parallel git worktrees. The latest release was v0.20.0 on 28 October 2026, and the repository showed about 11,100 stars.
Where it falls short
- The README marks the project as alpha, and releases are frequent.
- It calls itself an agent framework and meta-harness, so it is broader than a workspace app.
- The desktop app is macOS only. Native Windows works in a degraded mode without terminal wrappers and sandboxing.
- Full function needs Python 3.12 or newer, Node.js 22, tmux and, on Linux, bubblewrap. The mobile apps connect to a server.
Price and licence
No price is listed. The licence is Apache-2.0 (seen 29 October 2026). Model access uses your own key or subscription, and cloud sandboxes are separate services.
Alternatives
For a desktop app focused on worktrees per task, see Orca. For a macOS terminal with agent attention signals, see cmux.
Facts: platforms, price and licence
- platforms
- macOSWindowsLinuxWebiOSAndroidDesktop app is macOS only (Apple Silicon and Intel downloads). The CLI and local server run on Linux and macOS; native Windows works in a degraded mode without the terminal wrappers and sandboxing. Web UI at localhost:6767 can be installed as a PWA. iOS app on the App Store and Android app on Google Play are thin shells over the server-served web UI and need an Omnigent server.

Omnigent strengths
- Apache-2.0 source; one session can mix several agent harnesses and custom YAML agents
- Policies can require approval, cap spend or limit tools at server, agent or session level
- Sessions run in local OS sandboxes or cloud sandboxes such as Modal, Daytona, E2B and Kubernetes
- Sessions can be shared by URL and continued from a phone via web, iOS or Android
Omnigent weak points
- Marked alpha in the README, with frequent releases (v0.20.0)
- The project describes itself as an agent framework and meta-harness, so it is broader than a pure workspace app
- Desktop app is macOS only; Windows is degraded and lacks terminal wrappers and sandboxing
- Needs Python 3.12+, Node.js 22+, tmux (and bubblewrap on Linux) for full function; mobile apps require a server
Who Omnigent is for
- best for
- Developers who want one open-source layer to run and supervise several coding agents across terminal, browser and phone.
- look elsewhere if
- Users who want a simple native app with no server, or a Windows-first setup.
