Conductor is a macOS app that runs multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — in parallel, each in its own isolated git worktree. You dispatch tasks, watch each agent's progress in real time, then review and merge their changes without them stepping on each other. The app itself is free and runs on your own agent subscriptions; Conductor Cloud extends runs beyond your laptop.
