Astera is a desktop workbench for long-running Claude Code and Codex work. Keep several sessions moving without staying at the desk: schedule them, switch accounts when a usage limit lands, and resume the same work. Concurrent sessions stay isolated in their own git worktrees, and Slack keeps the loop open from your phone. When the work has dependencies, a Job coordinates tasks across both vendors, checks the result, and waits when a human decision is needed.
**Status:** Windows, macOS and Linux. It drives the `claude` and `codex` CLIs, so it is only as capable as whichever of those you have installed.
What it does
**Project workspaces**
- Many
claude/codexsessions in one window, as tabs and as split panes - A terminal per project
**Accounts**
- Several accounts per vendor, each isolated through its own
