DevSwarm
Desktop command centre for parallel coding agents — a full VS Code IDE per isolated branch

devswarm.aiAbout DevSwarm
DevSwarm is a desktop command centre for running several coding agents at once without them treading on each other. Each unit of work gets its own branch-isolated workspace containing a full VS Code IDE, with its own extensions, its own ports and its own configuration, so a feature, a bugfix and an experiment can run in parallel with independent dev servers and terminals, and switching between them is a click rather than a stash-and-checkout. The orchestration layer, HiveControl, takes a plain-language goal, plans the work, creates a workspace per piece, assigns an agent to each, and lets the agents message each other and report progress until the goal completes — with every workspace openable so a human can take over mid-run. Multi-Repo workspaces address the polyrepo case: several Git repositories are brought into one workspace where a single agent in a single IDE edits across all of them, while each repository keeps its own history, branches and pull requests for separate review. GitHub and Jira are wired into the workflow, so tickets become active workspaces and PRs can be reviewed inside DevSwarm rather than in a browser tab. The agent layer is deliberately vendor-neutral — 19 coding-agent options are advertised, including Claude Code, Codex and Gemini, and fully local operation via Aider or Goose. Distribution is a downloadable app rather than a hosted service.
