A macOS workspace that runs Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode side by side, keeping parallel agent work, automations and secrets under your control.

Multi-CLI Agent Panes: Runs Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode side by side in tiled panes and terminals so several agents can be directed from one window.
Agent Handoff and Coordination: Agents pass scoped work between each other — one builds a command palette while another indexes the workspace — with each handoff visible to you.
Automations with Scheduling: Turns recurring jobs such as bug intake, feedback triage or weekly release notes into repeatable runs that follow the same steps every time.
Secret Management: API tokens and deploy credentials are stored in hob and injected at run time, so no agent or inference provider ever sees them.
Pull Request Workflow: Open, comment on and close pull requests in-app, with the diff, the conversation and the change all in one place, driven by hand or via the hob pr command.
Remote Issue Management: Connects to GitHub and Git hosts so issues can be triaged, filed and closed from the same surface the agents work in.
Local-First Architecture: The workspace and its database live on your own machine, with end-to-end encryption when you reach it from another device.
Durable Session History: Keeps a local record of runs and conversations that outlives the terminal session, so agent work can be reviewed or recovered later.

Supervising Parallel Agents: Direct several coding agents working on different parts of a feature at once without losing track of what each one changed.
Recurring Maintenance Automation: Schedule a weekly release-notes run or a daily user-feedback triage pass that executes identically every time.
Bug Intake Pipelines: Reproduce a reported issue, file it and summarize it as a single automated run triggered on demand.
Reviewing Agent Output Before Merge: Inspect the diff, conversation and resulting pull request together so generated changes get a real review instead of a blind merge.
Working Across Providers: Compare how Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode handle the same task using your existing subscriptions rather than resold tokens.
Remote Development: Leave agents running on a machine at the office and check in securely from another device over an encrypted connection.
Keeping Credentials Out of Prompts: Run agent tasks that need deploy tokens or API keys without ever exposing those secrets to the model.
