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 unified desktop interface to run agents in parallel, each isolated in its own Git worktree.

How it works

The app acts as a management layer for existing CLI-based AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode). It automatically detects installed provider CLIs and allows users to run them against local projects or remote machines via SSH/SFTP. Each task is isolated in a separate Git worktree and branch, enabling users to explore multiple fixes or features at once without interfering with their main codebase.

Who it’s for

Developers who use AI coding agents and want to run multiple experiments or fix multiple issues in parallel across local or remote environments.

Highlights

• Parallel Agent Execution: Run multiple coding agents at once within a single interface.
• Git Worktree Isolation: Every agent operates in its own worktree and branch for safe experimentation.
• Project Management Integration: Send issues and tickets from platforms like GitHub, Jira, and Linear directly into an agent.
• Remote Access: Full support for running workflows on remote machines via SSH/SFTP.
• Local-First Privacy: App state is stored locally in SQLite, and code/chats are not sent to Emdash servers.
