microManager
Menu

Run a team of coding agents in parallel

microManager is a free desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that runs several coding agents at once (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any ACP agent), each in its own git worktree, so you can review their diffs and ship pull requests from one window.

curl -fsSL https://micromanager.win/install.sh | sh

Free, no account. For macOS, Windows and Linux; the command installs it on macOS and Linux, and one PowerShell line does on Windows. Runs the agent CLIs you already have.

A microManager window while Claude Code, on Haiku, works in the workspace Reject overlong account names: edit cards showing its changes to test/accounts.test.ts and test/app.test.ts as diffs, a Run the test suite card that was allowed once, and its reply still streaming above a Working… line. The sidebar lists two more ledger-api workspaces, and the Changes panel lists three changed files.
Claude Code in the middle of a turn: each edit shows as a diff, the test run it asked for was allowed once, and its reply is still streaming. Codex and Grok each work in another workspace.

Leaving Conductor? Your setup comes with you.

Meta bought Conductor on 4 November 2026. microManager reads Conductor’s .conductor/settings.toml, conductor.json and .worktreeinclude, sets CONDUCTOR_* variables for your scripts, and on a Mac imports your repositories, workspaces and chats in one click, without touching Conductor’s data.

What does microManager do?

  • Parallel agents

    Run as many agent sessions as your computer and your plans allow, across repositories, each with its own chat tabs.

    Details about parallel agents

  • Git worktrees

    Every workspace is a real git worktree on its own branch, with your ignored files copied in and ten ports reserved.

    Details about git worktrees

  • Diff review

    Review each workspace’s changes, comment on lines, and send the comments back to the agent to fix.

    Details about diff review

  • Checkpoints

    A snapshot of the worktree before every message you send, so you can roll back a turn that went wrong.

    Details about checkpoints

  • Pull requests

    Create, check and merge pull requests through the GitHub CLI you already use.

    Details about pull requests

  • ACP agents

    Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any other Agent Client Protocol agent, run natively over stdio.

    Details about acp agents

  • Terminals and run scripts

    A terminal drawer per workspace, a Run button with a menu of the run scripts in your repository settings, and agents that can read the output.

    Details about scripts

Which agents does it run?

The ones you already use, started from the CLIs you installed and signed in to, with your own settings. Mix them freely: one workspace on Claude Code, the next on Codex, a Grok tab reviewing both.

All supported agents

How does the Conductor import work?

  1. Open microManager and choose Import from Conductor

    On a Mac where Conductor’s data is, it is on the first-run screen and at the bottom of the sidebar while there is something left to import, and always in Settings → Import from Conductor.

  2. Check the preview

    Your repositories, each with a switch and a note if its folder is gone, how many workspaces and chats were found, and whether your Conductor settings were found.

  3. Import, and keep working

    Workspaces stay in their existing worktrees, Claude Code and Codex chats keep their history and continue the same agent sessions, and your setup scripts keep working.

The import only reads Conductor’s database and settings; it never writes to them. Cloud workspaces cannot be imported directly: use Conductor’s “Transfer to local” on each one first, safest before Conductor Cloud is read-only from 13 November 2026. Read the full migration guide.

Settings, Import from Conductor: 10 active and 22 archived workspaces, 16 chats and settings found, four repositories to choose from, and switches for chat history and archived workspaces.
The Conductor import preview, here with demo Conductor data. Conductor’s own data is only read.

Does it run on Windows and Linux?

macOS
macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel, as a signed and notarized DMG (and a zip the updater uses).
Windows
Windows 10 and 11 on x64, as a per-user installer that needs no administrator rights.
Linux
x64, as an AppImage that runs on most distributions and a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu.

Yes, with the same features everywhere. Conductor never offered Windows or Linux versions; if you looked for one, see Conductor for Windows and Conductor for Linux. Importing from Conductor works on the Mac, where Conductor’s data lives.

Is my code private?

No account
Nothing to sign up for. Agents keep their own sign-ins.
No telemetry
The app does not report usage. It contacts micromanager.win only to check for updates, and names chats with Claude Code when you have it.
Stays on your computer
Workspaces, chats and settings live in a local database. No server stores code or chats.
Closed to other apps
Its only network port is a token-protected MCP endpoint on 127.0.0.1 that refuses browser requests.

Frequently asked questions

What is microManager?

microManager is a free desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that runs several coding agents at once (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any ACP agent), each in its own git worktree, so you can review their diffs and ship pull requests from one window.

Is microManager a Conductor alternative?

Yes. It does the same job as Conductor’s local Mac app (parallel agents in git worktrees, diff review, pull requests) and reads Conductor’s repository settings files and CONDUCTOR_* environment variables. On a Mac, Import from Conductor brings over your repositories, workspaces and chats in one click.

What is happening to Conductor?

Meta acquired Conductor on 4 November 2026 and new Mac app downloads stopped that day. Conductor Cloud is read-only from 13 November 2026 and shut down from 20 November 2026, when Conductor starts deleting the data stored there. The local Mac app gets updates until early 2027, after which it stops getting new models and fixes and its user data is deleted (TechCrunch, SiliconANGLE and Conductor’s announcement).

Which coding agents does it run?

Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode and Gemini CLI out of the box, plus any agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol. It runs the CLIs you already have installed and signed in.

Does microManager upload my code or chats?

No. There is no account, no telemetry and no server that stores code or chats. Your agents talk to their providers as they always do, and git and the GitHub CLI to your remotes and GitHub; microManager itself contacts only micromanager.win, to check for updates. When Claude Code is installed, the first message of each new chat also goes through it to Anthropic’s Haiku model to name the chat and workspace, whichever agent the chat runs, unless you turn off “Name workspaces and chats from the first message” in Settings → General.

Which computers does it run on?

Macs with Apple Silicon running macOS 13 or later (and Intel Macs for releases that have an Intel build), Windows 10 and 11 PCs with x64 processors, and x64 Linux, as an AppImage or a .deb. Conductor never offered a Windows or Linux app.
