What it solves

Emdash is designed to solve the friction of managing multiple AI coding agents simultaneously. Instead of juggling multiple terminals and manually managing branches, it provides a centralized desktop application to run agents in parallel, each isolated in its own Git worktree.

How it works

The app acts as a wrapper for existing CLI-based AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode). It automatically detects installed provider CLIs and uses Git worktrees to ensure every agent task runs on a separate branch and in a separate directory. It also integrates with project management tools like GitHub, Jira, and Linear to allow users to send tickets directly into an agent.

Who it’s for

Developers who use AI coding agents to tackle multiple features or bug fixes at once and want a streamlined way to review diffs, create pull requests, and manage remote machines over SSH.

Highlights

• Parallel Execution: Run multiple agents at once without terminal clutter.
• Git Worktree Isolation: Each agent operates in its own isolated worktree and branch.
• Project Management Integration: Direct import of issues from platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Linear.
• Remote Support: Ability to run workflows on remote machines via SSH/SFTP.
• Local-First Privacy: App state is stored locally in SQLite, ensuring code and chats are not sent to Emdash servers.
