Conductor
Mac app for running parallel Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor agents in isolated workspaces. Watch every agent work at once, then review and merge their changes.
Conductor is a macOS app that turns multi-agent coding from a pile of terminal tabs into a single control surface. It runs parallel Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor agents, each in its own isolated workspace so agents never trample each other's changes, and lets you watch them all work simultaneously before reviewing and merging the results. This is the local-orchestrator layer of the 2026 agent stack: the agents do the coding, Conductor handles dispatch, isolation, and review flow. If you regularly kick off more than one coding agent at a time on the same repo, this removes the worktree juggling and gives you one place to see what every agent is doing.
