## Best for

Teams that run Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode across several hosts and need one place to review their work.

## Why it deserves attention

HumanLayer pairs a desktop and web app with a daemon on each host, so Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi sessions run where the code lives while tasks, plans, and reviews sync to one place. The repo includes the UI, Electron and Tauri shells, the daemon, CLI, and API, all under Apache-2.0, with about 12,800 GitHub stars and daily commits. It is aimed at teams with real infrastructure: you run the daemon, manage host access, and decide how much autonomy each agent gets.
