Desktop app available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Latest release · v1.0.0-preview.1 preview

The open desktop environment
for AI coding agents

Connect any agent from any provider — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, and more. You pick the agent, not the app.

Features

Everything you need to run, review, and manage AI coding agents in one desktop app.

Agent-agnostic runtime

Connect any ACP-compatible agent — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Junie, Kimi, Mistral Vibe, and more.

ACP Registry browser

Browse, search, and install agents from the central ACP Registry with one click.

Multiple install methods

Supports npx, uvx, and binary agent distributions with platform-aware setup.

Parallel thread execution

Run multiple agents across multiple threads and tasks in parallel.

Git worktree isolation

Optionally isolate each thread on its own branch and working directory so parallel tasks never collide.

Streaming agent output

See text, thinking blocks, and tool calls stream live while the agent works.

Diff review

Inspect file-level changes with inline diffs and a full diff view before accepting changes.

Commit from the app

Send commit requests directly from the UI once there are pending file changes.

Permission controls

Approve or deny sensitive agent actions like file writes and command execution.

Built-in terminal

Run and verify changes in a per-session terminal without leaving the app.

Multi-workspace support

Organize projects across multiple workspaces and route sessions to the right repository.

Settings and themes

Configure per-agent API keys, worktree behavior, and application theme preferences.

Agent Thread Storage Format

ATSF v1.1 is an open, filesystem-based conversation format: agent-agnostic, tool-agnostic, resumable, and git-friendly.

Directory layout v1.1

project/
  .agent/
    config.json              # project-level agent config
    .gitignore               # default ignore rules
    threads/
      <thread-id>/
        thread.json          # metadata envelope
        messages.jsonl       # append-only message log
        assets/              # binary content (images)

worktrees/thread-abc123/          # if using git worktrees
  .agent/threads/<thread-id>/...   # worktree-local thread data

Spec versioning

ATSF uses MAJOR.MINOR versioning. v1.1 adds backward-compatible hooks and worktree guidance without breaking existing readers.

Implementations should reject newer unsupported MAJOR versions and preserve unknown fields when round-tripping.

Worktree-local thread storage

When a thread runs inside a git worktree, its .agent data is stored in that worktree so code and conversation stay together.

Tools should scan both the main project .agent and known worktree .agent locations.

config.json and hooks

Project defaults can define agent preferences plus worktree hooks: symlinks, post-setup commands, and an initial prompt.

Hook failures are non-fatal and must not block session creation.

Thread + message schemas

thread.json stores metadata for fast listing; messages.jsonl stores append-only user/agent/system messages with typed blocks.

Tool calls, token usage, stop reasons, and image asset references are first-class fields.

Concurrency and safety

Writers should lock when appending to messages.jsonl and write thread.json atomically via temp-file rename.

Unknown fields and content types should be preserved for cross-tool compatibility.
