## All alternatives

- [Herdr](https://softbests.com/software/herdr): Developers running several Claude Code or Codex sessions who want one persistent workspace instead of a pile of terminals. (Open source; macOS, Windows, Linux, CLI)
- [T3 Code](https://softbests.com/software/t3-code): Developers juggling multiple coding-agent subscriptions and machines. (Open source; macOS, iOS, Android)
- [Waku](https://softbests.com/software/waku): Developers who switch between Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, and other agent CLIs all day. (Open source; macOS, Windows, Linux)
- [Kero](https://softbests.com/software/kero): Developers running several Claude Code, Codex, or dev-server sessions at once. (Open source; macOS, Windows, Linux)
- [Paseo](https://softbests.com/software/paseo): Developers who run Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and other agents side by side and want one place to review their work. (Open source; macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Web, CLI)
- [Orca](https://softbests.com/software/orca): Teams running several agents at once who need terminals, diffs, and review in one place. (Open source; macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android)
- [WezTerm](https://softbests.com/software/wezterm): Power users who want tabs, panes, and SSH multiplexing in one tool. (Open source; macOS, Linux, Windows)

## How to choose

- Start with the platform you actually use. A native Mac editor and a browser IDE solve different problems.
- Match the workflow, not the feature list. If agents write most of your code, pick the tool whose agent loop you can supervise.
- Check the real price after the trial. One-time licenses and subscription tiers age very differently.
