Why Parallel Code?

Use the AI coding tools you already trust — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI — all from one interface.
Free and open source — no extra subscription required. MIT licensed.
Keep every change isolated and reviewable — each task gets its own git branch and worktree automatically.
Run agents in parallel, not in sequence — five agents on five features at the same time, zero conflicts.
See every session in one place — switch context without losing momentum.
Control everything keyboard-first — every action has a shortcut, mouse optional.
Monitor progress from your phone — scan a QR code, watch agents work over Wi-Fi or Tailscale.

How does it compare?

Approach	What's missing
Multiple terminal windows / tmux	No GUI, no automatic git isolation — you manage worktrees, branches, and merges by hand
VS Code extensions (Kilo Code, Roo Code, etc.)	Tied to VS Code; no true parallel worktree isolation between agents
