What they did
CodeHerd 1.0 is a Mac app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or any CLI agent side by side in panes, each optionally on its own git worktree.
Result (as claimed)
Parallel agents stop stepping on each other's files.
Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo; OpenAI Codex: free plan, paid from $8/mo.
Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, git. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data. 4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.

Related use cases
Run eight AI coding CLIs side by side in persistent rooms on your own machine
SpaceApp is a self-hosted workspace that runs AI coding CLIs side by side in persistent rooms: OpenCode, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Qwen, Kimi, Grok and DeepSeek, each in its own pane on your own machine.
Coordinate coding agents in one group chat with xMatrix
xMatrix is a group chat for people and coding agents across your own machines and repos. Mention Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent or Gemini CLI in a channel and it runs locally in your checkout with your own login, each launch in its own git worktree so parallel agents do not overwrite each other.
Find the API keys your coding agents saved in their session logs
A developer pointed out that Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor and Cline save full sessions to disk, including any .env file the agent read, keys pasted in to test a call and printenv output. He warned that these transcripts are a plain-text store of every credential the agent has seen.
See which coding agent still has usage left from your Mac menu bar
Rate-limited across tools, he built Quotchi, a free Mac menu bar app that shows which of Claude Code, Codex and Gemini still has room. It needs no account and never reads your prompts.
