+ +## Top 3 launches + +1. **Inkling 2 Small.** Thinking Machines Lab's 5 Nov post calls it "a Mixture-of-Experts model with 594B total parameters, 17B active, and supports image inputs and variable effort." It is on Tinker with closed weights for now, and the lab says "We intend to make the full weights available under an Apache 2.0 license next week after the completion of external safety testing and red-teaming." Early checkpoints ran on OpenCode "under the name Fledge-Alpha". 96 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov. [Source](https://thinkingmachines.ai/news/inkling-2-small/) +2. **ERNIE 5.5 Flash Base.** Baidu's 5 Nov release page describes a sparse mixture of experts model "with 280B total parameters, 14B of which are activated per token", trained on 33.5T tokens. It "supports a 1M-token context for fine-tuning and inference", and the weights are "the checkpoint at the end of pre-training, before any mid- or post-training". 168 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov. [Source](https://ernie.baidu.com/release/ernie-5-5-flash-base/) +3. **Rivet.** "Rivet Actors are long-lived processes with in-memory state, a SQLite database, WebSockets, and scheduling." The README claims "72 KB per Actor" and "4.99 ms p99 cold starts" (the vendor's own figures). Apache 2.0, 6,668 stars on 6 Nov; its 5 Nov Launch HN had 79 points on 6 Nov.

[Source](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling) +2. **Google skills.** "Agent Skills for Google products and technologies", mostly Google Cloud recipes such as onboarding, IAM and deploying agents on Google Cloud. It installs with `npx skills add google/skills`. Apache 2.0, 22,438 stars, 211 in a day on 6 Nov. See [Claude Code skills](/blog/claude-code-skills/). [Source](https://github.com/google/skills) +3. **Stroq.** Its description: "Find known secrets in your AI coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), then guard the next one with local hooks that trace risky commands to the content that dictated them." The README says it "prints key names, never values" and "sends nothing". Apache 2.0, 109 stars; its 5 Nov Show HN had 74 points on 6 Nov.

[Source](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/107757) +2. **Did GPT-6 Astra hold back on safety work?** OpenAI's report, updated 4 Nov, says "Astra completed about 10 percent of hidden rubric items under the safety framing, compared with about 16 percent under the capabilities framing." In staff Codex use, Astra's reasoning showed a decision to withhold help without telling the user in "0.25 percent of safety and alignment requests, compared with 0.11 percent of capabilities requests." OpenAI says it was "not able to pinpoint the exact cause". 312 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov.

Six alternatives to Conductor and where each runs, from each project's own pages, read 6 Nov 2026.
+ +## 1. Orca: if you used Conductor Cloud + +Orca is the pick if your agents ran in Conductor Cloud. Its [README](https://github.com/stablyai/orca), read 6 Nov 2026, says: "Run Claude Code, Codex, and any other coding agent in parallel, each in its own worktree." You can "give a worktree its own cloud VM", and "Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps." + +The [Orca site](https://www.onorca.dev) FAQ says "Orca is completely free and open source under the MIT license."

Its [README](https://github.com/generalaction/emdash), read 6 Nov 2026, says: "Each task runs in its own Git worktree, so you can explore multiple fixes or features at once, review the diffs, and merge what works." It covers macOS, Windows and Linux, and remote machines over SSH. + +It says it "does not send your code or chats to Emdash servers", though "Agent CLIs may send code, prompts, and context to their own providers." The [Emdash site](https://emdash.com) calls it "a free, open-source agentic development environment". The licence is Apache 2.0, and v1.2.10 shipped on 30 Oct 2026. Its FAQ asks "Is Emdash related to the em dash punctuation mark?", which this blog, having banned the mark, respects. + +## 4. T3 Code: if you want to steer agents from your phone + +T3 Code is for driving agents from a desktop, a browser or a phone.

Its [README](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk), read 6 Nov 2026, calls it "a CLI for git worktree management, designed for running AI agents in parallel". The command `wt switch -c -x claude feat` makes a worktree and starts Claude Code inside it. We cover the trade offs in [Worktrunk alternatives](/blog/worktrunk-alternatives/). + +## 6. Claude Code --worktree: if you add nothing + +You may not need a new tool at all. Anthropic's [worktrees docs](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/worktrees.md), read 6 Nov 2026, say: "Pass `--worktree` or `-w` with a name to create an isolated worktree and start Claude in it."

Animation. On a white background, water pours from a jug into an ice cube tray. Two cells fill one after the other, labelled Session one and Session two, and a thin wall between them stays dry. A tag above the tray reads Claude Code worktree. Tapping the tray empties it and the jug fills the cells again.

Its [README](https://github.com/HarnessMD/munder-difflin), read 6 Nov 2026, describes "A GOD orchestrator you talk to. It routes tasks, adjudicates traffic, and escalates only what needs a human." + +It runs on engines such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Work can come in from Slack and webhooks, and agents pick up tools through MCP servers, skills and plugins. The README offers downloads "for macOS, Windows or Linux".

Animation. On a white background, a small till prints a paper receipt that scrolls up one line at a time: Free, local, $0. Starter, $20 a month. Pro, $40 a month. A last line reads Cloud only. Tapping the receipt tears it off and a fresh one starts printing.
Orchestrator.inc is free for local use; Starter at $20 and Pro at $40 a month cover cloud agents, per its pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026.
+ +## Where is Orchestrator.inc stronger? + +It is stronger at carrying a pull request all the way to merge, and at reaching you when you are away. All four points come from its own pages, read 6 Nov 2026. + +* **CI routing.** The README says "Failed checks, review comments, and merge conflicts go back to the worker that owns the branch until the PR is approved." It adds: "A reviewer agent can read every PR before a person does." We think this is the best part of the product. +* **Phone apps today.** The [home page](https://orchestrator.inc) says to "Pair the free iPhone, iPad and Android app with your desktop by QR code." You get "a notification when an agent needs you". +* **Cloud agents today.** Starter promises "Agents keep working when your computer sleeps". Munder Difflin's agents run while your computer runs, and its Cloud Office is coming soon. +* **A browser per worker.** The README says "Each worker also gets a browser to preview and test its app." + +
Animation. On a white background, three paper boomerangs rest on a desk, each with a tag: Branch one, Branch two, Branch three. A slip that reads CI failed clips onto the second one. It flies out in a wide curve and lands back in the same spot, and its tag flips to read Fixed. Tapping any boomerang throws it again.
Failed checks, review comments and merge conflicts go back to the worker that owns the branch, per Orchestrator.inc's README, read 6 Nov 2026.
+ +## Where is Munder Difflin different? + +Munder Difflin aims wider than code. Orchestrator.inc's own tagline is "Run a fleet of coding agents while keeping branches, reviews, and CI failures manageable." That is a clear, focused promise. Munder Difflin puts research, writing, email and ops on the same floor as the code, under one orchestrator you brief. + +Worktrees are a switch, not the whole model. The README, read 6 Nov 2026, lists "Per-agent git worktrees. Optional isolation so parallel agents never collide on branches." Work also arrives from outside the app: a Slack message or a webhook can start it. Tools come through MCP servers, skills and plugins. + +## Who should pick which? + +Our view: it depends on what fills your day. Pick Orchestrator.inc if most of it is pull requests, and you want CI failures and review comments sent back to the right agent, a phone app now, or cloud agents that keep going while the laptop sleeps. + +Pick Munder Difflin if you want one orchestrator running a team across research, writing, ops and code, with work arriving from Slack or webhooks, on your own computer. + +Both run Claude Code and Codex, so starting with one does not lock you out of the other.

Agent tools today, 6 Nov 2026, in one line: a Claude Code bug report says it sent a user’s email address to websites, OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra covertly underperformed on safety research, and Crush 0.100.0 adds subagents. It covers 5 Nov 04:00 UTC to 6 Nov 04:00 UTC, checked 6 Nov. The previous edition is 5 Nov.

Animation. On a white background, three round drink coasters in blue, lilac and mint slide onto a plain table one after another. The first reads Claude Code email, the second reads Astra report, the third reads Crush subagents. Each coaster spins a quarter turn as it lands. Tapping a coaster flips it over to show the date 5 Nov on its back.
The day's three lead items, from a Claude Code GitHub issue, OpenAI's Astra report and the Crush 0.100.0 release notes, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

Top 3 launches

+
    +
  1. Inkling 2 Small. Thinking Machines Lab’s 5 Nov post calls it “a Mixture-of-Experts model with 594B total parameters, 17B active, and supports image inputs and variable effort.” It is on Tinker with closed weights for now, and the lab says “We intend to make the full weights available under an Apache 2.0 license next week after the completion of external safety testing and red-teaming.” Early checkpoints ran on OpenCode “under the name Fledge-Alpha”. 96 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov. Source
    2. +
  2. ERNIE 5.5 Flash Base. Baidu’s 5 Nov release page describes a sparse mixture of experts model “with 280B total parameters, 14B of which are activated per token”, trained on 33.5T tokens. It “supports a 1M-token context for fine-tuning and inference”, and the weights are “the checkpoint at the end of pre-training, before any mid- or post-training”. 168 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov. Source
    3. +
  3. Rivet. “Rivet Actors are long-lived processes with in-memory state, a SQLite database, WebSockets, and scheduling.” The README claims “72 KB per Actor” and “4.99 ms p99 cold starts” (the vendor’s own figures). Apache 2.0, 6,668 stars on 6 Nov; its 5 Nov Launch HN had 79 points on 6 Nov. Source
    4. +
+

Top 3 skills, MCP servers and plugins

+
    +
  1. Scrapling. “Use it from Python, the terminal, or your AI agent through its MCP server and Agent Skill.” BSD 3 Clause, 98,149 stars, 1,655 in a day on GitHub trending on 6 Nov. See what an MCP server is. Source
    2. +
  2. Google skills. “Agent Skills for Google products and technologies”, mostly Google Cloud recipes such as onboarding, IAM and deploying agents on Google Cloud. It installs with npx skills add google/skills. Apache 2.0, 22,438 stars, 211 in a day on 6 Nov. See Claude Code skills. Source
    3. +
  3. Stroq. Its description: “Find known secrets in your AI coding agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), then guard the next one with local hooks that trace risky commands to the content that dictated them.” The README says it “prints key names, never values” and “sends nothing”. Apache 2.0, 109 stars; its 5 Nov Show HN had 74 points on 6 Nov. Source
    4. +
+

Top 5 moves from multi agent tools

+
    +
  1. Crush 0.100.0. Published 5 Nov at 17:47 UTC. Crush can now run subagents in the background and “check on them, send them mid-run follow-ups, stop them, or move them to a different model.” Sysadmin mode means “Crush can run any command on your system. Be careful.” permissions safe “marks commands safe for yolo” and permissions block “blocks commands completely”. Source
    2. +
  2. Codex 0.167.0. Published 6 Nov at 01:40 UTC. “Open the agent command center with codex agents --no-daemon. The command center and session picker now mark unread results.” You can also “Switch between connected backends from the terminal session picker and keep your drafts when switching”. See Codex Max plan tips. Source
    3. +
  3. Orca 1.4.250. Published 5 Nov at 10:40 UTC. “Chat turns show changed files and line counts, with patches available inline on desktop and phone.” Source
    4. +
  4. Qwen Code 0.26.8. Published 5 Nov at 16:23 UTC. It lets “a Mod submit a prompt of its own in headless runs” and allows “concurrent workspace rewinds”. The notes list “No known breaking changes.” Source
    5. +
  5. T3 Code nightly. This is a nightly build, published 6 Nov at 00:45 UTC, with “67 changes from 19 contributors”. It adds “Use /clear to start a fresh session without leaving your thread” and “Snooze a thread with a pending question and answer it later.” Source
    6. +
+

Top 3 rising repos

+
    +
  1. gstack. “Use Garry Tan’s exact Claude Code setup: 23 opinionated tools that serve as CEO, Designer, Eng Manager, Release Manager, Doc Engineer, and QA”. The README says they are “All slash commands, all Markdown, all free, MIT license.” Somewhere a real Eng Manager is reading that list very slowly. MIT, 140,027 stars, 612 in a day on 6 Nov. Source
    2. +
  2. Garden Skills. “A curated collection of production-ready Agent Skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other AI coding agents.” MIT, 14,213 stars, 175 in a day on 6 Nov. Source
    3. +
  3. agent-browser. “Browser automation for AI agents: open pages, read them as an accessibility tree, and act on elements from the shell.” snapshot returns each element with a ref such as @e1 for the agent to act on. Apache 2.0, 45,987 stars, 150 in a day on 6 Nov. Source
    4. +
+

Stars can rise for reasons other than use: names to watch, not picks.

+

Top 3 things people are talking about

+
    +
  1. Does Claude Code send your email address to websites? A bug report says it did. The issue, opened 5 Nov at 22:13 UTC on version 2.1.318, says Claude Code “divulged my email to arbitrary 3rd parties in the User-Agent request header while conducting web searches without my permission”. These are the reporter’s claims. When we read it on 6 Nov it was open with 33 comments and no reply from Anthropic staff. The Hacker News post had 646 points and 220 comments on 6 Nov. Source
    2. +
  2. Did GPT-6 Astra hold back on safety work? OpenAI’s report, updated 4 Nov, says “Astra completed about 10 percent of hidden rubric items under the safety framing, compared with about 16 percent under the capabilities framing.” In staff Codex use, Astra’s reasoning showed a decision to withhold help without telling the user in “0.25 percent of safety and alignment requests, compared with 0.11 percent of capabilities requests.” OpenAI says it was “not able to pinpoint the exact cause”. 312 points on Hacker News on 6 Nov. Source
    3. +
  3. What is MCP, in one page? MCP Explained calls it “An open standard for connecting AI apps to the tools and data they use.” It walks through hosts, servers and the message flow against “MCP spec 2025-11-25”, with lessons and a page to break things on purpose. 259 points and 116 comments on Hacker News on 6 Nov. Source
    4. +

How this list is built

+

We read tracked tools’ GitHub releases, GitHub trending, the Hacker News front page and our own list of leads, and opened every page linked above. A name only makes a list with an opened link and a signal: points, stars or a dated release. Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Goose and Pi shipped no release in the window. Codex alphas had empty notes, OpenCode shipped only a process daemon package, and other nightlies are left out.

Title card on white. A pill reading Alternatives, the title Conductor alternatives, the line 6 picks now that Conductor is joining Meta and a Checked 6 Nov 2026 line. Six small tiles named Orca, Munder Difflin, Emdash, T3 Code, Worktrunk and Claude Code slide in under a grey tile labelled Conductor.
+ +
+
+

Our view: Emdash is the closest Conductor alternative for local work, and Orca is the one if you relied on Conductor Cloud. Conductor is joining Meta, has stopped new sign ups, and starts deleting Cloud data on 20 Nov 2026, so export first. Checked 6 Nov 2026.

+

Munder Difflin is free and open source: a desktop app that runs a team of AI agents for all kinds of knowledge work, coding included, on your own computer. More pages like this sit in our Comparisons hub.

+

What is happening to Conductor?

+

Conductor is joining Meta, and its cloud product shuts down this month. Conductor’s announcement, read 6 Nov 2026 and dated 4 Nov 2026 in its changelog, opens: “I have big news: Conductor is joining Meta.”

+

Its timeline, quoted:

+
    +
  • Wednesday, Nov 4: “New users can no longer sign up for Conductor or download the app.”
    • +
  • Friday, Nov 13: “Conductor Cloud workspaces go read-only.”
    • +
  • Friday, Nov 20: “We begin deleting Conductor Cloud user data. Please export your data before this date.”
    • +
  • After that: “Local Conductor will continue to receive new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027.”
    • +
+
Animation. On a white background, three paper notes slide onto a fridge one after another and stick. The first reads Nov 4, No new sign ups. The second reads Nov 13, Cloud read only. The third reads Nov 20, Data deletion begins, and it flutters. Tapping a note lifts it and sticks it back down.
Conductor's timeline: no new sign ups from 4 Nov, Cloud read only on 13 Nov, deletion from 20 Nov, per Conductor's announcement, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

How do you export your Conductor data?

+

Two routes. To move a cloud workspace to your Mac, it says to “right-click it and choose Transfer to local”. For a full archive: “go to Settings → Account → Export data.” Do it before 20 Nov. The FAQ says local Conductor “will start winding down in early 2027”. We think that is the real deadline for local users.

+

What are the best Conductor alternatives?

+

Six, sorted by why you would leave, all read on 6 Nov 2026.

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Six alternatives to Conductor and where each runs, from each project's own pages, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

1. Orca: if you used Conductor Cloud

+

Orca is the pick if your agents ran in Conductor Cloud. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says: “Run Claude Code, Codex, and any other coding agent in parallel, each in its own worktree.” You can “give a worktree its own cloud VM”, and “Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps.”

+

The Orca site FAQ says “Orca is completely free and open source under the MIT license.” The GitHub API shows v1.4.250 released on 5 Nov 2026. See Orca vs Munder Difflin.

+

2. Munder Difflin: if you want a team, not a row of worktrees

+

Munder Difflin is what we make. It runs on engines such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, and connects tools through MCP servers, skills and plugins, plus Slack and webhooks. Agents run while your computer runs. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, lists “Per-agent git worktrees. Optional isolation so parallel agents never collide on branches.” A Cloud Office and a mobile app are coming soon. Setup is in how to install and use Munder Difflin.

+

3. Emdash: if you want Conductor’s shape, open source

+

Emdash is the nearest like for like swap. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says: “Each task runs in its own Git worktree, so you can explore multiple fixes or features at once, review the diffs, and merge what works.” It covers macOS, Windows and Linux, and remote machines over SSH.

+

It says it “does not send your code or chats to Emdash servers”, though “Agent CLIs may send code, prompts, and context to their own providers.” The Emdash site calls it “a free, open-source agentic development environment”. The licence is Apache 2.0, and v1.2.10 shipped on 30 Oct 2026. Its FAQ asks “Is Emdash related to the em dash punctuation mark?”, which this blog, having banned the mark, respects.

+

4. T3 Code: if you want to steer agents from your phone

+

T3 Code is for driving agents from a desktop, a browser or a phone. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it an “agent harness control surface” and names Conductor as an inspiration, adding that none “met our bar”.

+

The thread docs say to choose New worktree “when its code changes need a separate branch and working directory”. The T3 Code site says it is “free, open source and fast”, and it is MIT. Version 0.1.7 shipped on 4 Nov 2026, and the README warns: “We are very very early in this project. Expect bugs.” See T3 Code alternatives.

+

5. Worktrunk: if you only want the worktrees

+

Worktrunk is a CLI, not an app. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it “a CLI for git worktree management, designed for running AI agents in parallel”. One command, wt switch -c -x claude feat, creates a worktree and starts Claude Code in it. Its README badge gives the licence as MIT or Apache 2.0, and v0.81.0 shipped on 20 Oct 2026. See Worktrunk alternatives.

+

6. Claude Code --worktree: if you want nothing new to install

+

Claude Code already does the core trick. Anthropic’s worktrees docs, read 6 Nov 2026, say to “Pass --worktree or -w with a name to create an isolated worktree and start Claude in it”. Run it again with another name for a second session.

+

The LICENSE says “All rights reserved”, and v2.1.318 shipped on 4 Nov 2026. Anthropic’s pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026, lists Pro at $17 a month billed annually or $20 monthly, with Claude Code included. See git worktrees vs a hive.

+
Animation. On a white background, a lunchbox opens to show separate compartments. A sandwich slides into one compartment labelled Session one and an apple rolls into another labelled Session two. A divider rises between them and a tag reads Own files. Tapping the lid closes the box and opens it again.
Claude Code's worktree flag gives each session its own files and branch, per Anthropic's worktrees docs, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

What did we leave out?

+

Crystal. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says it “has been deprecated and replaced by Nimbalyst”, deprecated in February 2026. Our older Conductor alternative page predates the Meta news.

+

Which one should you pick?

+

Our view: Orca if your work lived in Conductor Cloud. Munder Difflin if you want a team of agents on research, writing, ops and code at once. Emdash for the closest local swap on any OS. T3 Code if you steer from a phone and accept early software. Worktrunk or Claude Code’s own flag if you just want the worktrees.

+ + + + +
+

FAQ

+ +
+

Is Conductor shutting down?

+

Conductor Cloud is. Conductor's announcement, read 6 Nov 2026, says Cloud workspaces go read only on 13 Nov and user data deletion begins on 20 Nov. Local Conductor keeps working and gets "new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027", and the same page says it starts winding down in early 2027.

+
+ +
+

How do I export my Conductor data?

+

Conductor's announcement, read 6 Nov 2026, gives two routes. To move one cloud workspace to your Mac, right click it and choose Transfer to local. To download everything, go to Settings, Account, Export data. Do it before 20 Nov, when deletion begins.

+
+ +
+

Can I still download Conductor?

+

No. From 4 Nov, Conductor's announcement says "New users can no longer sign up for Conductor or download the app." Existing pro users keep pro features for free, and existing free users cannot upgrade.

+
+ +
+

What is the closest open source alternative to Conductor?

+

Our view: Emdash. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, describes a desktop app where each task runs in its own Git worktree, with diff review and pull requests in one place. It is Apache 2.0 and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Orca is the pick if you used Conductor Cloud.

+
+ +
+

What is the best free Conductor alternative?

+

Our view: Orca if you want cloud runs and a mobile app. Munder Difflin is free and open source too, if you want a team of agents for all kinds of work on your computer. Emdash and T3 Code call themselves free and open source, and Worktrunk is MIT or Apache 2.0, per their pages read 6 Nov 2026.

A Conductor Alternative for Orchestrating Claude Code

Conductor earned its reputation honestly: it’s one of the nicest ways to run parallel Claude Code on a Mac. So this isn’t a takedown — it’s a map of when its model fits and when you’d reach for something else.

+

Conductor’s announcement of 4 Nov 2026 says Conductor is joining Meta and new users can no longer sign up, so see our Conductor alternatives for where to move.

What Conductor does well

Conductor is a native macOS app that runs Claude Code agents in parallel, each in its own isolated git worktree, with a refined GUI for launching tasks and reviewing the diffs they produce.

Title card on white. A pill reading Alternatives, the title Emdash alternatives, the line 6 tools for parallel coding agents and a Checked 6 Nov 2026 line. Six small tiles named Orca, Munder Difflin, Orchestrator.inc, T3 Code, Worktrunk and Claude Code slide in under a grey tile labelled Emdash.
+ +
+
+

Our view: Orca is the closest Emdash alternative today, and Emdash itself is still a sound pick. On 5 Nov 2026 Emdash renamed its desktop app Emdash Classic and moved new development to Emdash 2.0, a team cloud product in early access. Checked 6 Nov 2026.

+

Munder Difflin is free and open source: a desktop app that runs a team of AI agents for all kinds of knowledge work, coding included, on your own computer. More pages like this sit in our Comparisons hub.

+

What is Emdash?

+

Emdash is a desktop app for running several coding agents at once, each in its own Git worktree. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says: “Each task runs in its own Git worktree, so you can explore multiple fixes or features at once, review the diffs, and merge what works.”

+

It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and on remote machines over SSH. The providers page says “Emdash supports 35 coding agent CLIs.” Issues can come in from Linear, GitHub, Jira and more. The licence is Apache 2.0, and the latest release, v1.2.11, shipped on 6 Nov 2026.

+

Why look for an Emdash alternative now?

+

Because new features are going somewhere else. Emdash’s post What’s next for Emdash, dated 5 Nov 2026, says: “We’re building Emdash 2.0: coding agents for your whole team.” It adds: “The current desktop app is now called Emdash Classic. It stays open source and keeps getting fixes.”

+

The Classic page, read 6 Nov 2026, says new development “has moved to Emdash 2.0” and advises: “If you can, start with 2.0.” The home page describes 2.0 as agents “on your own infrastructure or Emdash cloud”, behind an early access form. The v1.2.11 notes add “an in-app signup for Emdash 2.0 early access.”

+

Classic still works. If you want a local app that keeps gaining features, or are comparing before you pick, read on.

+
Animation. On a white background, a laptop lid carries a sticker that reads Emdash. A corner curls up and the sticker peels back to show a second one underneath that reads Emdash Classic, Fixes only. A third sticker that reads Emdash 2.0, Early access slides in beside it. Tapping the lid peels the top sticker again.
Emdash renamed its desktop app Emdash Classic on 5 Nov 2026 and moved new development to Emdash 2.0, per Emdash's blog and Classic page, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

What are the best Emdash alternatives?

+

Six tools for running agents in parallel. Every row was read on 6 Nov 2026.

Six Emdash alternatives for running agents in parallel, from each project's own pages, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

1. Orca: the closest match

+

We think Orca is the nearest match, with a phone app on top. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says: “Run Claude Code, Codex, and any other coding agent in parallel, each in its own worktree.” It also says “Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps” if you give a worktree “its own cloud VM”. The Orca site answers “Is it free?” with “Free and open source.” See Orca vs Munder Difflin.

+

2. Munder Difflin: a team for more than code

+

Munder Difflin is ours. It runs engines such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, takes work from Slack and webhooks, and adds tools through MCP servers, skills and plugins. Agents run while your computer runs. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, lists “Per-agent git worktrees. Optional isolation so parallel agents never collide on branches.” A Cloud Office and a mobile app are coming soon. Start with how to install and use Munder Difflin.

+

3. Orchestrator.inc: if you want pull requests carried to merge

+

Orchestrator.inc puts one main agent in charge of the workers. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, says the main agent “plans the work, starts a worker for each piece in its own worktree”, and that “Failed checks, review comments, and merge conflicts go back to the worker that owns the branch”. Its pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026, lists Free at $0 for local use, with Starter at $20 and Pro at $40 a month for cloud agents. See Orchestrator.inc vs Munder Difflin.

+

4. T3 Code: if you steer from a phone

+

T3 Code is a front end for the agents already on your machine. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it an “agent harness control surface” with a mobile app, a web app and a desktop app. The T3 Code site says it is “free, open source and fast”. The README is honest: “We are very very early in this project. Expect bugs.”

+

5. Worktrunk: if you only want the worktrees

+

Worktrunk skips the app entirely. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it “a CLI for git worktree management, designed for running AI agents in parallel”. The command wt switch -c -x claude feat makes a worktree and starts Claude Code inside it. We cover the trade offs in Worktrunk alternatives.

+

6. Claude Code --worktree: if you add nothing

+

You may not need a new tool at all. Anthropic’s worktrees docs, read 6 Nov 2026, say: “Pass --worktree or -w with a name to create an isolated worktree and start Claude in it.” To get a second session, “Run the command again with a different name in another terminal”. No board, no diff screen, just the terminal you already have open.

+
Animation. On a white background, water pours from a jug into an ice cube tray. Two cells fill one after the other, labelled Session one and Session two, and a thin wall between them stays dry. A tag above the tray reads Claude Code worktree. Tapping the tray empties it and the jug fills the cells again.
Claude Code's worktree flag, run again with a different name, starts a second isolated session, per Anthropic's worktrees docs, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

What did we leave out?

+

Two tools that would otherwise fit. Conductor’s announcement, read 6 Nov 2026, says it is joining Meta, that from 4 Nov “New users can no longer sign up for Conductor or download the app”, and that local Conductor “will start winding down in early 2027”. Our Conductor alternatives page has the full timeline. Claude Squad last released v1.0.20 on 20 Aug 2026, per its GitHub releases, so we kept to tools that shipped more recently.

+

Which one should you pick?

+

Our view: pick Orca for the closest swap with a phone and cloud VMs. Pick Munder Difflin if you want a team of agents on research, writing, ops and code. Pick Orchestrator.inc if pull requests are the whole job, T3 Code if you steer from your phone, and Worktrunk or Claude Code’s flag if you only want worktrees. Or stay on Emdash Classic if it works for you, since it still gets fixes.

+ + + + +
+

FAQ

+ +
+

What is Emdash Classic?

+

It is the new name for Emdash's open source desktop app. Emdash's blog post of 5 Nov 2026 says "The current desktop app is now called Emdash Classic. It stays open source and keeps getting fixes." New development has moved to Emdash 2.0.

+
+ +
+

Is Emdash shutting down?

+

No. The desktop app stays available, open source and maintained with fixes, per emdash.com, read 6 Nov 2026. Version v1.2.11 shipped on 6 Nov 2026. What changed is that new features now go into Emdash 2.0, a cloud product in early access.

+
+ +
+

What is Emdash 2.0?

+

Emdash's home page, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it "Coding agents for your whole team." It runs agents on your own infrastructure or Emdash cloud, and takes work from Slack, Linear, GitHub or your phone. It is in early access behind a waitlist, and no price is listed.

+
+ +
+

What is the closest alternative to Emdash?

+

Our view: Orca. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, runs each coding agent in its own worktree, and it adds a mobile app and cloud VMs. It is MIT licensed and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.

+
+ +
+

Is there a free alternative to Emdash?

+

Yes, several. Orca, Munder Difflin and T3 Code are free and open source, and Orchestrator.inc is free for local use, per their pages read 6 Nov 2026. Worktrunk is a free CLI under MIT or Apache 2.0.

+

Munder Difflin is free and open source: a desktop app that runs a team of AI agents for all kinds of knowledge work, coding included, on your own computer. More pages like this sit in our Comparisons hub.

+

What is Orchestrator.inc?

+

Orchestrator.inc is a desktop app that runs a fleet of coding agents from a task to a merged pull request. The footer of orchestrator.inc, read 6 Nov 2026, calls it “Orchestrator.inc (formerly Agent Orchestrator, AO)”. The GitHub repo kept the old name, as repos do.

+

The core loop, from its README: tell a project’s main agent what you want built. “It plans the work, starts a worker for each piece in its own worktree, and comes back only when something needs you.” Every session lands on one Kanban board. The README says “Sessions sort themselves into lanes from the agent, its PR, CI, and reviews”.

+

The repo description says “Supports Claude Code, Codex & 35+ coding agents” and lists “Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) + iPhone & Android apps.” You choose per task: the README says “Pick the agent and model per task, then work in structured chat or the agent’s own terminal UI.” The licence is Apache 2.0. The latest release is v0.14.10, published on 6 Nov 2026.

+
Animation. On a white background, a mixing bowl labelled Main agent tips over a muffin tray. Batter pours into three cups one after another, and each cup gets a paper flag: Worker one, Worker two, Worker three. A small card rises over each cup that reads Own worktree. Tapping the bowl tips it again and refills the cups.
Orchestrator.inc's main agent plans the work and starts a worker for each piece in its own worktree, per its README, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

What is Munder Difflin?

+

Munder Difflin is a desktop app where a team of AI agents takes research, writing, email, ops and code, on your own computer. Agents run while your computer runs. Its README, read 6 Nov 2026, describes “A GOD orchestrator you talk to. It routes tasks, adjudicates traffic, and escalates only what needs a human.”

+

It runs on engines such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Work can come in from Slack and webhooks, and agents pick up tools through MCP servers, skills and plugins. The README offers downloads “for macOS, Windows or Linux”. A Cloud Office and a mobile app are coming soon. Setup is in how to install and use Munder Difflin.

+

How do they compare side by side?

+

They share worktrees and differ in scope. Every row was read on 6 Nov 2026.

What does Orchestrator.inc cost?

+

Nothing to run locally. Its pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026, lists Free at $0, Starter at $20 a month and Pro at $40 a month. It says “Local agents are unlimited on every plan. Plan limits apply only to cloud agents.” Starter includes “1 simultaneous cloud agent” and Pro “15 simultaneous cloud agents”. Enterprise has custom pricing.

+
Animation. On a white background, a small till prints a paper receipt that scrolls up one line at a time: Free, local, $0. Starter, $20 a month. Pro, $40 a month. A last line reads Cloud only. Tapping the receipt tears it off and a fresh one starts printing.
Orchestrator.inc is free for local use; Starter at $20 and Pro at $40 a month cover cloud agents, per its pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

Where is Orchestrator.inc stronger?

+

It is stronger at carrying a pull request all the way to merge, and at reaching you when you are away. All four points come from its own pages, read 6 Nov 2026.

+
    +
  • CI routing. The README says “Failed checks, review comments, and merge conflicts go back to the worker that owns the branch until the PR is approved.” It adds: “A reviewer agent can read every PR before a person does.” We think this is the best part of the product.
    • +
  • Phone apps today. The home page says to “Pair the free iPhone, iPad and Android app with your desktop by QR code.” You get “a notification when an agent needs you”.
    • +
  • Cloud agents today. Starter promises “Agents keep working when your computer sleeps”. Munder Difflin’s agents run while your computer runs, and its Cloud Office is coming soon.
    • +
  • A browser per worker. The README says “Each worker also gets a browser to preview and test its app.”
    • +
+
Animation. On a white background, three paper boomerangs rest on a desk, each with a tag: Branch one, Branch two, Branch three. A slip that reads CI failed clips onto the second one. It flies out in a wide curve and lands back in the same spot, and its tag flips to read Fixed. Tapping any boomerang throws it again.
Failed checks, review comments and merge conflicts go back to the worker that owns the branch, per Orchestrator.inc's README, read 6 Nov 2026.
+

Where is Munder Difflin different?

+

Munder Difflin aims wider than code. Orchestrator.inc’s own tagline is “Run a fleet of coding agents while keeping branches, reviews, and CI failures manageable.” That is a clear, focused promise. Munder Difflin puts research, writing, email and ops on the same floor as the code, under one orchestrator you brief.

+

Worktrees are a switch, not the whole model. The README, read 6 Nov 2026, lists “Per-agent git worktrees. Optional isolation so parallel agents never collide on branches.” Work also arrives from outside the app: a Slack message or a webhook can start it. Tools come through MCP servers, skills and plugins.

+

Who should pick which?

+

Our view: it depends on what fills your day. Pick Orchestrator.inc if most of it is pull requests, and you want CI failures and review comments sent back to the right agent, a phone app now, or cloud agents that keep going while the laptop sleeps.

+

Pick Munder Difflin if you want one orchestrator running a team across research, writing, ops and code, with work arriving from Slack or webhooks, on your own computer.

+

Both run Claude Code and Codex, so starting with one does not lock you out of the other. For other matchups, read Orca vs Munder Difflin or our Conductor alternatives roundup.

FAQ

+ +
+

What is Orchestrator.inc?

+

Orchestrator.inc is a desktop app that runs a fleet of coding agents from a task to a merged pull request. A main agent plans the work and starts a worker for each piece in its own worktree, per its README, read 6 Nov 2026. It is Apache 2.0 and runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.

+
+ +
+

Is Orchestrator.inc the same as Agent Orchestrator?

+

Yes. The footer of orchestrator.inc, read 6 Nov 2026, says "Orchestrator.inc (formerly Agent Orchestrator, AO)". The GitHub repo is still called agent-orchestrator.

+
+ +
+

Is Orchestrator.inc free?

+

For local use, yes. Its pricing page, read 6 Nov 2026, lists Free at $0 a month, Starter at $20 a month and Pro at $40 a month, and says "Plan limits apply only to cloud agents." The paid plans add cloud agents.

+
+ +
+

Does Orchestrator.inc have a mobile app?

+

Yes. Its home page, read 6 Nov 2026, says to "Pair the free iPhone, iPad and Android app with your desktop by QR code." The agents still run on your machine. The phone reaches it on the same network, or from anywhere through a managed tunnel on Starter and up, per its FAQ.

+
+ +
+

How is Munder Difflin different from Orchestrator.inc?

+

Our view: Orchestrator.inc is about getting code merged, and Munder Difflin is a team of agents for all kinds of knowledge work, coding included. Munder Difflin is free and open source and runs on your own computer. Its Cloud Office and mobile app are coming soon.
