Open source, on the subscription you already have.\n\nWorks withClaude Code CodexAntigravity *soon*\n\nFree & open source · runs locally · notarized by Apple · uses the subscription you already have\n\nOne chat per task. Each one keeps its own context and picks up mid‑thought. A spinner means it is still going. A dot means it finished without you.\n\n`docs/index.html`\n\n— the sub is one line now.`Landing: shorter hero sub`\n\n.`/login`\n\nbut read on `/`\n\n, so the guard bounced you every time.`path=/`\n\nand added a regression test.`tests/auth.spec.ts`\n\nasserts the cookie is cleared on sign‑out.`pnpm-lock.yaml`\n\nreplaces `package-lock.json`\n\n; CI is green on the branch.`eslint-config-next`\n\n. Pinned them in `.npmrc`\n\nand the install is clean.Click a session. The whole conversation is already there.\n\nStart a chat on its own git worktree and it commits somewhere else entirely. Your checkout does not move. Not one file.\n\n`superagent/fix-auth`\n\n. Commits land there; `main`\n\nstays where you left it.Commits land on the branch. Main stays put.\n\nA real iOS Simulator, streamed from its own framebuffer. It taps. It types. It swipes. Nothing to install.\n\nYou ask once. It boots the device and reports back.\n\nThe same page as a desktop card and as a phone. One session, both live. Change something and it lands in both.\n\nTwo screens. One truth.\n\nSay what you want done. It opens the site you are already signed in to and works it the way you would — reading, writing, clicking, sending.\n\nYou ask once. It does the rest, in your own browser.\n\nYour window stays exactly where it is. When the agent finishes, or needs a yes, it says so from the corner.\n\n`git push --force-with-lease`\n\nIt waits in the corner until you are ready.\n\nPair the iPhone app once and it follows your Mac from anywhere: the conversation as it happens, a prompt from the sofa, a yes or no when the agent asks. End-to-end encrypted, through a relay that can't read a word of it.\n\niPhone and iPad · iOS 26 · free, and open source like the rest\n\n`git push`\n\n?Live while it's open. A push when it isn't. Nothing in between can read it.\n\nA desktop, not a slot. Windows you can move, a dock, and more than one agent working at the same time.\n\nEverything it is doing, on one surface, at the same time.\n\nコードは、二番目。\n\nEvery tool in this category is built for the same person: someone who reads diffs for a\nliving. Superagent is built the other way round — for **the person who\ndoesn’t write code first, and the person who does second.** Not by hiding the\ncode, but by putting the page, the app and the phone on screen next to the chat, so you\ncan judge the work the way you judge anything else: by looking at it.\n\n| Capability | Superagentスーパーエージェント | Agent IDEsOrca, Conductor, Emdash, Cursor, Antigravity | App buildersLovable, Bolt, Replit, v0 | Cloud agentsManus, Operator |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| No git, no terminal, no diffs | ✓Keep or Throw away | ✗worktrees and diffs | ✓ | ✓ |\n| Your machine, your project | ✓any folder on your disk | ✓any git repo | ✗new apps, their cloud | ~Manus added a local mode |\n| A browser signed in as you | ✓sign in once, in the pane | ~Orca imports cookies; the rest use a clean profile | ✗a preview, nothing else | ✗a fresh sandbox |\n| A live iPhone in the window | ✓streamed from the framebuffer | ~Orca yes; Conductor, Cursor, Antigravity no | ✗ | ✗ |\n| Your Mac, from your phone | ✓scan a QR code once — no VPN, no LAN, no port to open | ~Orca wants LAN or Tailscale; the rest have no phone app | ✗nothing of yours to reach | ✗their machines, not yours |\n| The subscription you already pay for | ✓no key, no second bill | ✓bring your own agent | ✗plan, plus credits | ✗plan, plus credits |\n| Open source, MIT | ✓app, phone and relay | ~Orca and Emdash yes | ✗ | ✗ |\nPrivate on your phone |\n✓end-to-end, via a blind relay | ~your own network carries it, in the clear | ~a browser tab | ~their app, their account |\nPrivate by default |\n✓no account, no sign-up, no telemetry | ~the hosted parts want an account | ✗account required | ✗account required |\nPrivate by construction |\n✓no server to send your work to | ~until you use the cloud tiers | ✗their servers | ✗their servers |\n\n*✓* yes*~* partly, or only some of them*✗* no\n\nChecked against each product’s own docs, August 2026. [Tell us if any of it is wrong.](https://github.com/pungme/superagent-desktop/issues)\n\n**You describe a thing, and watch it get built** — on your own machine, on your\nown accounts, on the subscription you already have. No terminal to learn. No sandbox to\nescape.\n\nAn agent with a browser is an agent with your logins. Don't take our word for what it does with them — every line of code is public, so you can read it, build it yourself, and check.\n\nNot a wrapper with a peek at the source. The desktop app, the iPhone app and the relay are all on GitHub under MIT — every line.\n\nThere is no Superagent server. There is nowhere for your work to go but your own disk — and you don't have to believe that either: it's in the code.\n\nDon't trust, verify — the [desktop app](https://github.com/pungme/superagent-desktop), the [iPhone app](https://github.com/pungme/superagent-ios) and the [relay](https://github.com/pungme/superagent-relay).
