Coppice – A desktop board where you approve your CLI agents' plans and diffs

A developer built Coppice, a local desktop app that provides a board for managing multiple CLI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. The tool places the user in a manager role with two human approval gates, so no agent plan or diff proceeds without explicit sign-off. It runs entirely on the user's machine with a bundled database and requires no Coppice account or separate subscription.

There are two human gates:

It runs on your machine with a bundled database. No Coppice account, no second subscription.
