OpenClawdex – Open-Source Orchestrator UI for Claude Code and Codex

One coding agent orchestrator UI for Claude and Codex, but actually feels nice. Free, open-source, MIT licensed. Why I built it: - I wanted a lightweight UI as nice as the Codex app, but without the complexity and the custom diffs on the side - I want files and diffs open straight in my editor! - And I wanted both agents - Anthropic + OpenAI — in one place How it works: - No API keys, no OAuth, no separate billing — it just uses whatever you're already logged into. So your Claude Max and ChatGPT/Codex subscriptions both work out of the box. - Talks to Claude Code via the Claude Agent…

Lightweight desktop UI for orchestrating Claude Code and OpenAI Codex coding agents through their CLIs, with a native Mac feel. No separate login – it uses your existing CLI auth. You can install either or both; the model picker greys out whichever provider isn't available. No API keys needed — the app uses your existing CLI logins. # Install dependencies pnpm install # Start the Vite dev server + Electron pnpm dev:desktop The Electron window loads from http://localhost:4123 . Hot reload works for the web app. # Build everything and package the macOS .dmg pnpm dist Output goes to apps/desktop/release/ . apps/ web/ React + Vite + Tailwind v4 frontend desktop/ Electron shell + CLI agent…from github.com

    Gigacode is an experimental, just-for-fun project that makes OpenCode's TUI + web + SDK work with Claude Code, Codex, and Amp. It's not a fork of OpenCode. Instead, it implements the OpenCode protocol and just runs `opencode attach` to the server that converts API calls to the underlying agents. We build this to scratch our itch of being able to rapidly switch between coding agents based on the task at hand. For example, we find that: - Claude Code is the best executor & fast iterator - Codex (high) is the best for complex or long-running tasks - OpenCode for fine-tuned, do-exactly-as-I-say…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models.
