From GitHub's daily star counts.
Checked on GitHub.
Overview
Jean is a Tauri v2 desktop app, with a headless Linux `jean-server`, that runs CLI agents such as Claude, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode in parallel, one git worktree per task. It bundles a terminal, diff review with line comments, and GitHub, Linear and Sentry integrations. The UI is also served over HTTP/WebSocket with token auth, and the desktop app can combine local and remote servers in one sidebar.
Who it is for: Developers running several CLI coding agents in parallel on their own machines
Strengths
- Each task gets its own git worktree, so parallel agent sessions do not collide
- Uses your existing agent CLIs and subscriptions; supports about ten backends
- Headless jean-server with systemd installer, Docker image and browser access including phones
- Desktop app shows local and remote servers together, with actions run on the owning server
Weaknesses
- Windows is marked not fully tested; Linux only community tested
- jean-server supports Linux amd64 and arm64 only, glibc and OpenSSL 3
- Antigravity backend and Mr. Robot issue automation are beta
- Remote use needs your own network hardening, such as Tailscale, TLS and tokens
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker
- Needs Agent CLIs (Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.), git, Node.js and Rust (build from source)
- Models: Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi
- port 3456
