Conductor - Run a team of coding agents on your Mac

My notes

Summary

Conductor is a Mac app that orchestrates multiple coding agents (Claude Code and Codex) running in parallel, each in its own isolated git worktree. It provides a UI to see what each agent is working on, then review and merge their changes. The team built Conductor using Conductor itself.

Key Insight

• Each agent workspace is a real git worktree - Conductor manages all the worktree plumbing for you, which is the friction point most people hit when running parallel agents manually.
• Auth passthrough: it uses whatever Claude Code login you already have. API key, Pro, or Max plan all work - no separate billing layer, no markup.
• Supports both Claude Code and Codex side by side, so you can mix providers across parallel tasks.
• Multi-repo + multi-workspace is a stated workflow, not just single-repo. Useful for cross-platform / full-stack work where one task touches several repos.
• Runs entirely local on the Mac (clones repo locally), so no cloud sandbox dependency.
• The pitch is essentially “git worktree management + agent dashboard” - the value is the review/merge surface, not the agents themselves.
