About swarm

Swarm Herd your agents, not your terminals. Swarm is a workspace manager for parallel coding agent development, similar to cmux, Superset, and Conductor. Register git repositories, spin up isolated worktrees, and run persistent terminal sessions inside them from a native GTK desktop app or the CLI. Read the announcement blog post for more background. Features Works with any coding agent — run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or any other CLI tool inside a session. Sessions are just terminals, so anything that runs in a shell runs under Swarm. Workspace per feature using git worktrees — every workspace is an isolated git worktree, so parallel agents never share a checkout or step on each other's branches. Fast workspace cloning — branch off an existing workspace into a new worktree and branch in one command. Multi-repository management — register any number of GitHub repositories and manage their workspaces and sessions from one place. Ghostty-backed persistent terminals — sessions are backed by and survive disconnects; detach and reattach from the GUI or CLI without killing the process. Installation Swarm runs on Linux.
