Coding Agents

Parallel Code

Parallel Code is a desktop application that dispatches AI coding agents into separate Git branches and worktrees, then lets developers review their diffs and merge selected changes. Its documented integrations include Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you want to run independent coding tasks concurrently and inspect isolated changes before deciding what to merge.

Who it is for

  • Developers with a Git repository who want to delegate independent coding tasks to multiple AI agents.
  • Developers who want to compare agent-generated changes in separate worktrees before merging.

Documented uses

  • Dispatch coding tasks to multiple supported AI CLIs in parallel.
  • Keep each task's changes isolated in its own branch and worktree.
  • Review diffs, add inline comments and navigate changes by commit.
  • Merge selected task branches back into the main branch.
  • Monitor agent progress through the documented phone interface.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is open source under the MIT license. The README lists macOS and Linux desktop release formats; phone access is available through a mobile browser, with a separate Android app also documented.

  • The workflow depends on Git branches and worktrees, so it suits repository-based development.
  • You need to install at least one supported AI coding CLI separately.
  • Supported tools listed in the README include Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI and Copilot CLI.
  • Antigravity CLI requires a native, non-Docker task to authenticate.
  • The documented desktop release platforms are macOS and Linux; the source-build instructions require Node.js v18 or later.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up Parallel Code for a Git repository

Install the desktop app and prepare it to dispatch coding tasks to a repository.

Before you start

  • A macOS or Linux computer.
  • A Git repository.
  • At least one supported AI coding CLI: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI or Copilot CLI.

Steps

  1. Download the latest macOS .dmg, Linux .AppImage or Linux .deb release.

  2. Install at least one supported AI coding CLI.

  3. Open Parallel Code, select a Git repository and start dispatching tasks.

Expected outcome

Parallel Code is open on the selected repository and ready to dispatch tasks through an installed coding CLI.

Guide limitations

  • The listed release formats cover macOS and Linux.
  • Antigravity tasks must run natively rather than in Docker isolation because its interactive authentication depends on the operating-system keyring.
Source-based practical guide

Build the desktop app from source

Start the Parallel Code development app from its repository.

Before you start

  • Node.js v18 or later.
  • The Parallel Code Git repository.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository and change into its directory.

  2. Run npm install.

  3. Run npm run dev.

Expected outcome

The development app starts using the repository's documented workflow.

Guide limitations

  • This covers starting the development app, not producing a release build.
