munder-difflin: Control Claude, Codex, and Grok Simultaneously Without Terminal Windows

Integrate terminal-based AI coding tools you already subscribe to, such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and xAI Grok, into a single desktop app. Each tool runs as an independent process, allowing users to control multiple agents simultaneously without opening separate terminal windows. Unlike traditional approaches, each agent features long-term memory and a mailbox, maintaining context across sessions.

On a Pixi.js-based 2D office floor, each agent is represented by an avatar, visualizing task progress and inter-agent message passing. A GOD orchestrator named 'Michael' handles task routing and coordination, enabling users to command the entire team simply by conversing with this orchestrator. This offers a structure where agents collaborate with each other, rather than just being a collection of terminals.

Inter-agent communication and state management are handled through a 'hive' structure based on local git repositories. Each agent writes messages to its outbox, and a router delivers them to the recipient's inbox. The system is designed so that agents do not directly manipulate git, preventing index.lock conflict issues. Additionally, a markdown-based semantic search index allows agents to instantly recall learned content in milliseconds.

Built with Electron, React, and TypeScript, it supports macOS, Windows, and Linux. Specifically, the issue where inter-agent message passing did not work correctly in Windows environments was resolved in v0.4.4. You can connect and use existing API keys or local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio, etc.) without complex infrastructure setup. Built-in budget management and safety mechanisms automatically block cost overruns and dangerous operations.
