Manage Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI from a single dashboard to organize agents and switch editors instantly.

Unified Agent Dashboard: Centralized interface to view, run, and manage multiple CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI) from one place to reduce context switching.
Agent Renaming & Organization: Rename agents and organize them into projects so users can identify and manage agent roles and project-specific setups easily.
Instant Editor Switching: Quickly switch the editor associated with an agent to open agent contexts in a preferred editor without manual reconfiguration.
Project Grouping: Group agents by project to preserve per-project agent lists and settings, enabling clearer workflows across repositories and tasks.
Cross-CLI Compatibility: Consistent management experience across different CLI agent implementations, enabling side-by-side comparisons and unified orchestration.
Flexible Access & Billing: Support for a free tier plus a paid monthly subscription (and advertised lifetime access options) to suit different usage patterns.
Centralized dashboard to run and organize multiple CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI)
Agent renaming and project organization for easier management
Instant editor switching for agents
Support for multiple CLI agent types in one interface
Subscription-based access with free tier available

Consolidating multi-agent projects: Run and monitor Claude, Codex, and Gemini CLI agents for a single project from one dashboard rather than separate terminals.
Rapid editor context switching: Instantly switch the active editor for an agent when moving between coding, testing, and debugging tasks.
Standardizing team workflows: Rename and organize agents into project structures to ensure consistent agent configurations and naming conventions across a team.
Cross-CLI experimentation: Compare prompts and workflows across different CLI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) without reconfiguring each CLI separately.
Personal project organization: Maintain separate agent setups per repository (e.g., test, deploy, debug agents) for faster navigation and reduced setup time.
Manage multiple CLI-based agent projects from a single dashboard
Switch development editors quickly when working with different agents
Rename and organize agents across projects for team or personal workflows
Consolidate monitoring and execution of Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI instances
