Conductor

A free macOS app for running multiple Claude Code or Codex agents in parallel isolated workspaces.

Updated July 31, 2026

The read

Conductor is a lightweight macOS desktop app that spins up multiple Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor sessions simultaneously in Git worktree-based isolated sandboxes, letting developers fan out work across parallel agents and then merge results. The app itself is free to download; you pay only for the agent subscriptions you already hold. It is aimed at developers comfortable with Claude Code or Codex who want to scale throughput without manually juggling terminal sessions. The tool is macOS-only and requires an existing agent subscription, so it does not work for Windows or Linux users or developers without a qualifying plan.

Where it shines

Runs multiple agents simultaneously in Git worktree-isolated workspaces
Free app; costs nothing beyond your existing agent subscriptions
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode

Worth knowing first

macOS only; no Windows or Linux support
Requires an existing Claude or Codex subscription to be useful
