| Verdicts |
|---|
| Praised for | - Session/status sidebar for many concurrent agents across repos (Reddit r/ClaudeCode users)
- Worktree-per-agent model and diff review make comparing parallel attempts straightforward (Chancay, Margrop, HN users)
- Very active development; free and open source (HN, Reddit)
| - Users running many agents say it makes it easier to see which agent needs attention than plain tmux (HN comments, July-Sept 2026)
- Reconnect from several machines to the same running agents over SSH (HN, Bitdoze review)
- Reviewers credit the socket API for orchestration patterns tmux lacks (Bitdoze, Developers Digest)
|
|---|
| Criticised for | - Performance complaints: slow editor, lag in remote work, high CPU (HN, Reddit)
- Experimental chat UI and mobile input reported as buggy (Reddit)
- Launches agents with their permission-bypass flags by default
- Parallel agents multiply token spend (Margrop)
| - Several users do not see the added value over tmux or zellij (HN, r/commandline)
- Reports of lag, rendering and hotkey issues, e.g. with many remote machines or under WSL (HN Sept 2026, r/ClaudeCode)
- Agent detection relies on screen manifests and is probabilistic for unsupported agents (Developers Digest)
