Cindy Releases Open-Source Multi-Agent Client

Cindy is an open-source project that integrates multiple AI agent harnesses, such as Claude Code and Codex, into a single client. To address the issue of context loss when switching between existing tools, it is designed to preserve workspaces, Memory, and Skills even when changing harnesses.

Key features include:

• Multi-harness orchestration: Planning, execution, and review steps within a single task can be distributed to different models or harnesses.
• Local-first design: Runs locally on the user's computer, accessing actual files and logged-in apps directly to perform tasks.
• Extensibility: Enables integration with internal systems via MCP, with plugin marketplace support currently in preparation.

Tech Stack and License

• Structure: Built as a pnpm monorepo, including an Electron-based desktop app and a React Native-based mobile app.
• Model connectivity: Models can be connected via four methods: official cloud services, existing Claude Code/Codex authentication, direct API keys, and local models.
• License: The client source is released under Apache-2.0, allowing commercial use, while the backend service resides in a separate repository.

Development Environment

• Requires Node.js 22.x, pnpm 10.x, and Git LFS.
• Official releases include TapDB usage analytics, but this module can be removed when building directly from source.
