The tool reviews the full agent session rather than only the diff, routes review work through the Conifer router to reviewers from labs other than the one that wrote the code, and automatically switches between connected Claude and Codex subscriptions when one hits its usage limit. Parallax is free to start with $50 of Conifer credit and 5 free reviews on GitHub sign-up, with macOS and Linux builds available.", "body_md": "# Parallax\n\nA new perspective on parallel work.\n\n$50 of Conifer credit and 5 free reviews when you sign up with GitHub.\n\n## Control all of your agents through the Captain.

The grouping is clean and the stream is closed.\n\n**Parallax**\n\nYou asked for one row per invoice. This groups invoices by customer, so three invoices for one customer export as one row.

When work goes wrong, it is usually because the session drifted from what you meant. Parallax keeps the whole session and reviews the work against it.\n\nThe Conifer router picks the best reviewers from labs other than the ones that wrote the code.\n\n## Automatically switch between subscriptions without losing progress.\n\nConnect several Claude and Codex subscriptions.

Continue with GitHub and your new account comes with $50 of Conifer credit and 5 free reviews. If you sign up with an email instead, link GitHub in Settings and the credit arrives then. No Claude or ChatGPT plan? Your agents can run on the credit.\n\nThe first chat keeps a checklist for the rest, from adding a Claude or Codex account and connecting GitHub to starting your first session.\n\n## First open from the .dmg\n\n1.
