Parallel AI coding agents
in isolated branches.

Dispatch AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own worktree. Review the diffs, merge the wins, toss the rest.

How it works

Three steps. No setup. No configuration.

Create a task

Describe what you want built. Pick which AI agent to use — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, or Antigravity CLI.

Agent works in isolation

Parallel Code creates a git branch and worktree automatically. Agents do not overwrite another task's working copy; any later integration conflicts are handled during review.

Review and merge

Inspect the diff, check changed files. When you're happy, merge back to main from the sidebar with one click.

How people actually use it

Parallel agents aren't just "more agents." They unlock workflows that don't exist when you're stuck running one at a time.

Divide the backlog

Six tickets, six agents, one afternoon. Each runs in its own worktree, preventing shared working-copy collisions while branches stay separately reviewable.

Background runner

Send one agent after a flaky test while another builds the next feature. The slow tasks finish in the background, not on your critical path.

A/B the approach

Same prompt, different framings — one strict, one exploratory. Compare the diffs side by side and pick the design you actually want.

Why Parallel Code

Dispatch agents in parallel, merge what works.

Real terminals, not a wrapper

Runs actual terminal CLIs inside a native desktop app. What you see is exactly what you'd get in your own terminal — not a web abstraction.

Bring your own editor

Keep VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, or Sublime — Parallel Code manages the agents and worktrees, your IDE handles the code. No new editor to learn, easy to drop.

Every change isolated and reviewable

Each task gets its own git branch and worktree. Review diffs, inspect changed files, and merge only when you're satisfied.

Ten agents, ten branches, zero waiting

Stop watching a single agent work. Dispatch tasks in parallel and let them all run simultaneously — one repo, isolated working copies.

Keyboard-first, phone-ready

Every action has a shortcut — mouse optional. Or scan a QR code and monitor agent terminals from your phone over Wi-Fi or Tailscale.

Free and open source

No extra subscription required. MIT licensed, your API keys stay yours — nothing is proxied or collected.

Why not just…

There are ways to run multiple agents today. None of them solve the whole problem.

Approach	What's missing
Multiple terminals / tmux	No GUI, no automatic git isolation — you manage worktrees, branches, and merges by hand
VS Code extensions	Tied to one editor; no true parallel worktree isolation between agents
Built-in IDE / wrapper apps	You inherit their editor — give up VS Code, Cursor, or JetBrains. One agent vendor, one UI, one way to work.
Running agents one at a time	Blocks your workflow while each agent finishes — one task at a time

FAQ

Common questions about Parallel Code.

Does it work with my IDE?

Parallel Code is a standalone Electron app. Keep using your preferred editor — VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Sublime, whatever you like. It manages the agents and worktrees; your IDE handles the code.

Which AI agents are supported?

Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and Antigravity CLI out of the box. Any CLI-based coding agent that works in a terminal can be used.

How does the isolation work?

Each task gets its own git branch and worktree, so agents do not overwrite the same working copy. Branches can still conflict later if they change the same code; review and resolve those integration conflicts before merging back to main.

What platforms are supported?

macOS (universal .dmg) and Linux (.AppImage or .deb). Download from the GitHub releases page.

Is it free?

Yes. Parallel Code is free and open source under the MIT license. Your API keys stay yours — nothing is proxied or collected.
