- ManyAgents: Native Mac app (macOS 14+) that runs a team of Claude Code and Codex agents in one window: one tab per agent, an orchestrator per project, and a live web/iOS preview beside the chat. Free 14-day trial, no card; requires Claude Code. Handy if you already juggle multiple coding agents and hate switching terminals — Mac-only and early (v1.3.x).
- Claude Code: Terminal-based coding agent that edits and runs your repo.
- OpenAI Codex: OpenAI's coding agent: runs tasks in the cloud, CLI or IDE and opens PRs.
