Overview
Conductor is a macOS application that lets you run a team of coding agents in parallel. It creates isolated workspaces for Claude Code and Codex agents, giving you a dashboard to see what each agent is working on at a glance. You can then review and merge their changes directly from the interface. Think of it as a conductor orchestrating multiple AI coders on your local machine.
Application scenarios
Parallel code generation
Spin up multiple Claude Code or Codex agents to work on different parts of a codebase simultaneously.
Multi-repo development
Manage multiple repositories across isolated workspaces, ideal for full-stack or cross-platform projects.
Code review and merge
Monitor agent progress in real time, then review and merge their changes without leaving the app.
Rapid prototyping
Use several agents to explore different solutions or implement features in parallel, accelerating iteration.
Complex refactoring
Deploy agents to handle separate refactoring tasks in isolated workspaces, reducing merge conflicts.
Learning and experimentation
Run agents side-by-side to compare approaches or test different coding strategies on your own repos.
Core features
Parallel agent orchestration
Launch multiple Claude Code and Codex agents at the same time, each in its own isolated workspace.
Isolated workspaces via git worktrees
Each workspace is a new git worktree, keeping changes separate and preventing conflicts.
Real-time agent monitoring
See at a glance what each agent is working on, so you can prioritize attention.
Review and merge workflow
Review changes made by agents and merge them into your main branch efficiently.
Local execution
Conductor clones your repo and runs entirely on your Mac—no cloud dependency for the core workflow.
Multi-repo support
Work with multiple repositories across different workspaces, as noted by users managing cross-platform projects.

Target users
This tool is built for software engineers, full-stack developers, and engineering leads who want to scale their AI-assisted coding workflow. It's especially useful for those already using Claude Code or Codex and looking to run multiple agents in parallel without manual workspace management. Design engineers and founding engineers at startups have also praised it for boosting productivity.
How to use
Add your repo: Conductor clones your repository and works entirely on your Mac. Deploy agents: Spin up Claude Code or Codex agents—each one gets an isolated workspace (a new git worktree). Conduct: Monitor what each agent is working on, review their changes, and merge when ready. You can download Conductor from their official site and start using it immediately.
Effect review
User feedback on Conductor is overwhelmingly positive. Engineers from companies like Notion, Life360, and Supermemory describe it as a "productivity unlock" and compare the experience to "going from typing with two fingers to having eight arms." Multiple users note that working with multiple repos and workspaces has transformed their workflow, with one senior engineer calling it "insane" for cross-platform development. The tool has been praised for its beautiful UI and seamless handling of git worktrees. While it requires some adjustment, users report they can't imagine building without it once they've adapted.
Frequently asked questions
What is Conductor?
Conductor is a tool that creates parallel Codex and Claude Code agents in isolated workspaces, allowing you to monitor their progress and review or merge changes efficiently.
How does Conductor handle multiple agents?
It runs agents in isolated workspaces, so they work independently without interfering with each other, and you can track their progress in real-time.
Can I review changes made by agents?
Yes, Conductor provides a review interface where you can see changes from each agent and decide which ones to merge.
Is Conductor free to use?
Conductor offers a free tier with basic features; pricing for advanced usage is available on their website.
What are Codex and Claude Code agents?
Codex and Claude Code are AI coding assistants; Conductor orchestrates multiple instances of these agents to work on tasks in parallel.
