Overview

OpenCove is an Electron app that places CLI agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex), PTY terminals, tasks and notes as nodes on one 2D canvas. Layout, viewport, terminal output and agent state persist across restarts, and projects can be isolated by directory or git worktree. It also ships an `opencove` CLI, a headless worker, and an experimental browser Web UI. The project is labeled alpha.

Who it is for: Developers running multiple CLI coding agents in parallel

Strengths

  • Runs several Claude Code or Codex sessions side by side on one canvas
  • Restores viewport, layout, terminal output and agent state after restart
  • Per-project isolation via directories and git worktrees
  • Desktop builds for macOS, Windows and Linux plus a standalone CLI/server installer with SHA256 check

Weaknesses

  • Labeled alpha; nightly builds may have rough edges
  • macOS builds are not signed or notarized; Gatekeeper workaround needed
  • Web UI is experimental and LAN use needs a password and a built renderer
  • Needs Claude Code or Codex installed separately for full agent workflows

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Needs Node.js >= 22.12.0 (source build), pnpm 9.6.0 (source build), Claude Code or Codex CLI (recommended)
  • Models: Claude Code, Codex
