What is it?

Parallel Code is an Electron desktop app for dispatching several AI coding agents at once. When you create a task, it creates a new git branch from your main branch, sets up a git worktree so the agent works in a separate directory, symlinks node_modules and other gitignored directories into that worktree, and then starts the agent there. Supported agents include Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI and Copilot CLI.

Each task keeps its changes isolated, so you can review diffs per task with inline comments that go back to the agent, then merge the branch into main or discard it from the sidebar. A board view groups open tasks by what they need from you, such as waiting for input, working, or ready for a pull request. Tasks also include a shell terminal, a notes panel, and a Markdown canvas rendered as the agent writes.

The app runs on macOS and Linux, is built with TypeScript, Electron and SolidJS, and is MIT licensed. Phone access over Wi-Fi or Tailscale and an Android app are included for monitoring tasks.

Key features

  • 01Runs Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity CLI and Copilot CLI from one interface.
  • 02Creates a separate git branch and worktree for each task automatically.
  • 03Built-in diff viewer with inline review comments sent back to the agent.
  • 04Board view sorts open tasks by whether they need input, are working, or are ready to merge.
  • 05Keyboard-first controls with configurable shortcuts.
  • 06Optional phone access over Wi-Fi or Tailscale.

Use cases

  • Trying several agents on the same bug or feature and comparing their diffs.
  • Running multiple independent features in parallel without branch conflicts.
  • Reviewing agent output per task before merging it into main.
  • Monitoring long-running agent sessions from a phone.
