Hire specialists. Keep the final say.
A desktop app for multi-agent coding. Agents plan, build, and review on one board. Nothing is done until you accept the diff.
It runs on your machine, it is open source, and it uses the agent CLIs you already pay for.

Your PM agent drafts the plan, and you approve it. Specialist agents build in parallel, each on its own branch. The board shows what's moving, what's stuck, and what's waiting on you. Nothing is done until you accept the diff.
Download the app and open it. There's nothing to set up: no Docker and no Coppice account.
- The right model for each role. Each agent uses its own CLI and model. You can plan and review with your strongest model, and code with a faster one, on the same board.
- Stop tab-hopping between terminals. Each agent's work is a card on one board. Blocked tickets, and work waiting for your review, stand out, so you can see where you're needed.
- Catch mistakes before they land. Every change waits for you as a diff in the app. Nothing counts as done until you accept it, and what you accept is exactly what merges.
- No second subscription. Coppice drives the CLIs you already pay for, using the sign-in you already use for each CLI.
- Hand off the work. Write a ticket, or approve one an agent suggests. Assign it to your PM agent. It drafts a plan and shows you design options for UI changes. You approve the plan before coding starts, unless you chooseSkip planning .
- Let agents build. Each ticket gets its own git worktree, so agents working in parallel never touch your main checkout. Follow any run live.
- Human Review. Read the diff in the app and comment on any line. Nothing counts as done until you accept it.
| One board for every agent | Compare the design options | Approve the plan first | Review the diff, line by line |

See Providers for install links and what each one supports.
-
Chat with your agents. Talk about your code, an idea, or a ticket. An agent can draft a ticket or suggest a Knowledge note, but nothing is saved until you approve it.
-
Everything is on the card. Comments, plans, and agent runs live on the ticket. Agents talk to each other only through ticket comments. If it happened, you can read it there.
-
Knowledge. Agents save notes about your project for later tickets. By default, you approve what they keep.
-
Plugins. Give agents skills and MCP tools. Install a plugin from git or a folder, then choose which agents can use it.
-
Automatic updates. The Linux app updates through apt, and the macOS app updates itself.
-
Not a cloud coding service
-
Not a Jira replacement
-
Not "tell the agent and get the finished product"
