Comparison
There is now a fast-growing set of tools for running several Claude Code agents at once. This is an honest map of the main ones, including where each is a better pick than Abralo. They all drive the same official claude binary, so the model, your account, and the speed are identical. What differs is the shape of the tool around it.
| Tool | Platform | Runs agents via | Open source | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abralo | Mac, Windows, Linux (native) | One agent per project folder, side by side | No | Watching agents across several projects, light footprint |
| Conductor | macOS only (Windows waitlist) | A git worktree per workspace on one repo | No | Many agents on one repo, deep review-and-merge flow |
| Claude Squad | Mac, Linux (terminal; no native Windows) | tmux plus git worktrees | Yes (AGPL-3.0) | People who live in the terminal |
| Crystal | Desktop app | Parallel sessions in worktrees, with run comparison | Yes | A free GUI with side-by-side run comparison |
| Vibe Kanban | Mac, Windows, Linux (local, browser UI) | A kanban board, one worktree per task | Yes (Apache-2.0) | A backlog and board workflow |
A macOS app from Melty Labs (YC S24). It runs each agent in its own git worktree and has a strong diff, pull request, and Linear or GitHub review flow. It is closed source and free to use; you bring your own Claude subscription. It is well funded and ships fast. If you work on a Mac and want several agents on one repo with a polished review-and-merge flow, it is the better pick. Its main limits today are Mac only, and cost that multiplies with each parallel agent.
conductor.build
An open-source terminal app. It uses tmux and git worktrees to run several agents at once, and it is agent-agnostic, so it also drives Codex, Aider, and others. It runs on Mac and Linux; there is no native Windows because of the tmux dependency. If you already live in tmux and want to stay there, this is the better pick.
An open-source desktop app that runs parallel sessions in git worktrees and lets you compare runs side by side before you merge. If you want a free graphical tool with run comparison, look here.
An open-source, locally run tool with a browser UI. Each task on a kanban board goes to an agent in its own worktree, and it supports around ten different agents. One thing to know: Bloop, the company behind it, wound down in April 2026, and the project now continues as community-maintained open source. If you want a board and backlog workflow and are comfortable on a community-maintained project, it fits.
Abralo is the light one. It is native on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and the Windows installer is 3.4 MB because it uses your operating system's own webview instead of bundling a browser. It gives each project folder its own agent in its own column, so you can watch work across several projects at a glance. The moment an agent needs a decision or hits a usage limit, it tells you, and you can continue after a limit with one tap. It runs your local claude, so the model and your subscription are unchanged.
Details are current as of July 2026. This category moves quickly, so check each project's own site before relying on anything here.
Abralo uses your existing Claude Pro or Max subscription.
