From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 15 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

Orchestrator.inc is a local desktop app with a background daemon that runs multiple coding agents side by side, each in its own branch and git worktree. A project-level orchestrator agent can plan work and spawn workers. A Kanban board tracks each worker's pull request, CI and review state, and can send failures or review comments back to the owning agent.

Who it is for: Developers running several coding agents in parallel across one repository

Strengths

Each Git-backed worker gets its own branch and worktree, avoiding branch collisions
Supports 30+ agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Gemini CLI and Goose
Kanban status is derived from session, PR, CI and review state
Desktop installers for macOS (arm64, Intel), Windows and Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm); no CLI needed

Weaknesses

Desktop app only; no Docker or server deployment is documented
Worker, Chat and reviewer support differs per agent; a separate capability matrix is needed
macOS may block first launch and require right-click Open
Agent CLIs must be installed and configured separately; RAM requirements are unknown

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Git, Agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, etc.)
Models: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, Aider

How to choose

Check which models it can use: your own keys, local models, or only the vendor's.
See what it may do without asking (edit files, run shell, push) and how you approve.
Prefer agents that work in a branch or worktree you can throw away.
