Superconductor

Parallel by default. Custom by design.

Fast, flexible, and fully yours.

100% Rust

Native Architecture

Unlimited

Tabs & Workspaces

Run parallel coding agents. In one place.

Orchestrate Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or any CLI agent in isolated git worktrees. Manage branches, review diffs, and ship from one keyboard-driven interface.

How it works

Three steps to parallel engineering

1

Add your repo

Open any git repository. Superconductor detects your configured agents and is ready to run.

2

Spawn agents

Create isolated worktrees and launch agents simultaneously. Bring whatever you use.

3

Review and ship

See diffs, manage branches, track PR status, and merge — all without leaving the app.

Performance

Native speed. No compromises.

Superconductor is 100% Rust, rendered on your GPU with Metal. No Electron runtime, no embedded browser, no web-based terminal. Just a native binary that's ready before your fingers leave the keyboard.

Flexibility

Your workspace, your way

Multiple layouts

Stacked, horizontal, or bottom terminal — switch panel arrangements to fit how you work.

Picture-in-Picture

Float any tab in a separate window. Pin it, drag it, keep it visible while you work elsewhere.

Themes & colors

Dark, light, or system. Customize chrome colors per workspace. Choose your display, mono, and terminal fonts.

Pick up where you left off

Close the app, reopen it — every agent session is exactly where you left it. No lost context, no restarting conversations.

Terminal & chat views

Toggle between raw terminal output and a rich chat interface. See the same session both ways — CLI power when you need it, clean conversation view when you don't.

Scripts & automation

Setup, run, and teardown scripts per repository. Configure once, share with your team via git.

Built-in terminal multiplexer

Run and switch between multiple terminal sessions in one workspace. Inactive tabs are throttled in the background to keep switching fast.

Git workflow, one button

A smart action button that knows what comes next — commit, push, create PR, resolve conflicts, merge. Customize the steps to fit your flow.

Native notifications

macOS-native alerts when agents need attention. Choose from 15 built-in notification sounds.

Any agent, any model

Pick your agent, provider, model, and reasoning effort per session. Use your own subscriptions — nothing is proxied.

Cross-repo workspaces

Frontend and backend in one workspace. Coordinate changes across repos with shared branches and unified context.

Custom commands

Define reusable prompts and invoke them from any session. Scope them globally, per workspace, or per project.

...and much more

What is Superconductor?

Superconductor is a native macOS app for running parallel AI coding agents. Built entirely in Rust, it gives you isolated git worktrees, a GPU-rendered terminal, customizable layouts and themes, and multi-agent orchestration in a single, keyboard-driven interface. Think of it as a purpose-built workspace for agentic engineering.

How is this different from other agent orchestration tools?

Most tools in this space are built on web technology and cap you at 5-7 parallel agents. Superconductor is a native app that runs unlimited parallel agents — scaling with your hardware, not an arbitrary limit. It launches instantly, renders the terminal on the GPU, and gives you deep customization: multiple panel layouts, picture-in-picture windows, per-workspace theming, configurable keybindings, and integration with 10+ editors and terminals.

What agents does it support?

Superconductor is agent-agnostic. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, and any custom CLI agent. Agents run as native subprocesses using your existing subscriptions — nothing is proxied or wrapped.

What operating systems are supported?

macOS is currently supported with native Apple Silicon performance. Windows and Linux support are planned.

How does Superconductor handle data?

Superconductor never sees your code, credentials, conversations, or project data — everything stays on your machine. AI agents run as native subprocesses using your own API keys, which are never stored or proxied through Superconductor. We send minimal anonymous telemetry so we can see active usage — full details and a one-click opt-out live in Settings → Privacy.

Who's behind Superconductor?

A small team of engineers who built the tool we wanted to use. Superconductor started because nothing else was fast enough or flexible enough for how we work.

How do I get started?

Download Superconductor, install it, and open any git repository to start your first session.
