Emdash is an open-source desktop app for running multiple coding agents in parallel; one place to monitor sessions, review diffs, and turn issues into PRs.
It literally feels like a real developer. Curious how you’re handling context synchronization between agents working on related parts of the same codebase.

Running multiple coding agents in parallel is something I've wanted for a while — usually you have to babysit each one separately. The isolated worktrees approach makes sense, keeps agents from stepping on each other's work. Would love to know how the PR review flow works when 3-4 agents finish at different times — does it queue them or let you review as they come in?

Feels like an actual coworker!! What's the practical ceiling on parallel agents per machine before things degrade? Are you seeing teams run 3-5, or 10+?

Congrats on the launch. The worktree + PR handoff is the part I’d try first. One thing I’m curious about: when several agents touch adjacent files, does Emdash help compare runs and trace which prompt or session introduced a change, or is the review flow mainly diff-first today?

Open source is the perfect choice for tool like this .Developers want visibility and trust when agents are touching production code.
@elliot_grant1 exactly! That's what we've been thinking. There's a lot of convergence in this space anyways and we want to build the foundation and primitives for how everyone works with (coding) agents

love the name. Maybe this can replace the 15 terminal windows I monitor.
Been using the app for a little over 2 months now and I genuinely think this is the best tool for multiple worktrees. Such a huge time saver. Happy launch day!

@robert_douglass yes, exactly! Give it a whirl 🌀
