Emdash

A desktop app for running several AI coding agents at once, each working on its own copy of your code.

New this week

What it does

Emdash lets you run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. Each task gets its own separate working copy of the project, so you can try several fixes or features at once.

You can send in issues from tools like GitHub, Jira or Linear, review each agent's changes, and merge what works, all from one window. It also works on remote machines.

Its makers say it doesn't send your code or chats to their servers, though the agents you use may send data to their own providers.

Who it's for

Developers who already use AI coding agents and want to manage several at once.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. It has installers for Mac, Windows and Linux, but you need coding agents set up and some Git knowledge. New to this? Start here.
