Skip if

You need Conductor Cloud / multiplayer, a mobile companion, Windows prebuilts, Linux sandbox parity, or a coding agent that supplies models instead of wrapping CLIs you already pay for.

Who it fits

  • A free AGPL local desktop ADE that runs the real Claude Code/Codex/Antigravity/Copilot/Grok/OpenCode CLIs in parallel git worktrees (optional macOS Seatbelt), with no Termic backend.

Pros

AGPL local desktop ADE that runs the real `claude` / `codex` / `agy` / `copilot` / `grok` / `opencode` (or any PTY CLI) in parallel git worktrees — no Termic backend; optional macOS Seatbelt + network allowlist; Spotlight sync into main checkout without committing; broadcast, Ralph-style loops, AI review of another agent’s diff, Git staging, `.termic.yaml`, and a `termic` CLI; macOS Homebrew/DMG plus signed Linux AppImage.

Cons

Orchestration only — you still install and pay the underlying CLIs; AGPL-3.0; sandbox is macOS-only (Linux AppImage unsandboxed; Windows is source-build, no prebuilt); no hosted cloud agents or mobile companion vs Conductor Pro / T3 / Orca; young public footprint vs commercial Conductor.
