Part of the 'agentmaxxing' wave — the idea that running multiple AI coding agents in parallel produces better results than one.

Desktop app running Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI side by side in isolated git worktrees. Unified GUI for monitoring all agents with built-in diff viewer and one-click merge.

Why it matters

Part of the 'agentmaxxing' wave — the idea that running multiple AI coding agents in parallel produces better results than one. Clean approach using git worktrees for isolation.

Best for

Developers with subscriptions to multiple AI coding services who want to compare outputs or parallelize work. Merge conflicts between agents are a real challenge to manage.

How to Get It

This is a methodology or approach. Paste the instructions below into a Claude conversation to get started.

Command

Download the latest release from https://github.com/johannesjo/parallel-code/releases/latest (macOS .dmg, Linux .AppImage or .deb), install at least one AI coding CLI (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, or Copilot CLI), then open Parallel Code and point it at a git repo.

Tip: Paste this into a Claude Code conversation. Verify command matches your Claude Code version.

First thing to try

After installing, paste this into Claude:

Things to check

macOS and Linux only — no Windows build. Needs at least one AI coding CLI installed and authenticated (you do not need all of them); agent usage bills through your existing subscriptions or API keys — the app itself is free and MIT-licensed. Reviewing and merging conflicting diffs from parallel agents is still on you. Antigravity CLI cannot authenticate inside Docker-isolated tasks — run it native.
