Laki

TL;DR

• A workspace per task: a worktree, a branch and a $PORT each, set up by your scripts; start one from a prompt, a GitHub issue or a PR, with the agent, model and permission mode you pick.
• See every agent at once: running, needs you, done, on every tab and sidebar row; answer an agent from a notification, the bubbles over other apps or your phone.
• From diff to merge in one window: review the diff, comment on lines, send it back to the agent, ship (commit, push, PR), watch CI and reviews, merge. Each workspace's ⋯ says its next step first (⌘G does it).
• Done means checked: your tests and a second agent's review run as an agent finishes, failures go back to it; two worktrees changing the same lines are flagged before merge day.
• Agents keep running when the window is closed: a daemon holds the terminals, and they resume after a restart or a usage limit.
• Drive it from anywhere: laki on the command line (an MCP server too), Laki AI in plain words (it finds a setting for you too), your phone over Cloudflare or Tailscale.

Why

Parallel, not tangled	Each agent on its own branch and folder: no stepping on each other's files, no stashing.
Nothing missed	A waiting agent is a notification with its choices as buttons; ⌘J jumps to the next one that needs you.
Review where you work	Diff, threads, checks and the dev server's preview beside the terminal, not in five browser tabs.
Your agents, your accounts	Laki runs the agents you have, signed in as you are; it never writes their settings.
Make it yours	100 themes, extensions in the sidebar and status bar, workflows and scheduled prompts.

Install

macOS 13 or later. Download the dmg from the latest release (signed and notarized), or:

brew install --cask igorkasyanchuk/laki/laki    # then: brew upgrade --cask laki

You need git and the agents you use on your PATH; gh (signed in) for pull requests. Building it yourself, Linux and Windows (WSL 2): docs/install.md.

Use

1. ⌘O (or drop a folder) adds a project.
2. Pick an agent, write the task, Create: Laki makes the worktree, runs setup, starts the agent.
3. ⌘N for more. Review in the side panel (⌥⌘B), then Ship.

laki new app --prompt "fix the login redirect"        # a worktree with claude on it
laki new app --issue 42 --fan claude,codex           # a GitHub issue, raced by two agents
laki new app --no-setup --perm acceptEdits --prompt "…"  # no setup script; it edits without asking
laki send fix-the-login --when-idle "now add tests"  # typed in when its turn ends
laki ship fix-the-login -m "Fix the login redirect"

laki help lists every command; ⌘/ shows the keys.
